The future is me. | ICE08
We Twitter to people, Facebook with friends, Google for information and Blog about news that becomes old by the time we click Submit. Yes, we live in a world of constant communication and rapid-fire information exchange.
The future of the tech and media landscape in Canada is what we envision it. It is within all of us to create: the best photographs in the world have yet to be taken, the most influential companies have yet to be started, and the most entertaining media has yet to be appreciated.
I believe that I hold the key to Canada's future in the media and technology world, just as much as you should believe YOU hold the key as well!
Our innovation will come from places of deep thought, great inspiration, and solutions to problems aching among the masses. We won't create hoverboard's like in Back to the Future, or conquer the shyness problem anytime soon. We will, however, continue to create meaningful things that bring people closer together. Whether it be through discussion, interaction, or flame wars on Google Chat, we will create the media we want to see.
Our creativity will spawn from the necessity of personalization and uniqueness. I may want to be like Mike, but I can't. I can't be like anybody else and my creations will be a result of me being me. People will more and more evolve within themselves.
It will be a difficult enterprise -- one that will be cautioned by critics. But the more difficult the undertaking, the richer the return. We will be challenged by a bar set too high and maybe even boundaries that were not meant to be broken. I say to hell with it, start creating!
The people who will be leading us forward are the ones who are showing their face. The David Crow's, the Jay Goldman's, the Stuart Macdonald's, the Mathew Ingram's, and of course the me's: the people who participate in the discussion, the people who drive results in the products and services they create, and the people who grow the community around them by getting others involved.
The future is in all of us to create.
The future is ME.

oh boy... see, the thing is I lost my key! It fell in the snow somewhere in this big blizzard... but yeah, it's the key to the Canadian marketing and technology future or maybe just the key to my bike I'm not quite sure
