The digital economy makes new tech ubiquitous and available to everyone, so why isn't global productivity booming?

How do gadgets like #AppleWatch impact the digital economy?

Are the workers in todays economy going to be left behind by the next generation in the digital economy?

How do small business owners exploit the digital economy, is it much different to large enterprises?

Will the digital economy look different across geographies - will some move faster than others?

The tech industry has "megatrends" like cloud - how do this tie to the second machine age?

will the digital economy transform the list of top 100 global companies, with losers and new entrants?

will new centers of innovation appear in places other than silicon valley?

With the increase in speeds & reach of internet connectivity, combined with increasing acceptance of remote working, could we see a more even distribution of population as people can live & work where they want?

Should smaller population countries, such as the UK, focus more on embracing & being on the leading edge of new technologies, that help us in our economic efficiency & agility against larger economic super-powers?

Will the digital economy help us cut the human carbon footprint and avoid the next great extinction event?

I recently heard @dcoplin of Microsoft described technology (phones) as a prison, instead of a liberator: in what was could the #2MA go wrong like this?

What's the magic formula for becoming a "Superstar?" :-)

Jeopardy! Champ :-)

this presentation is blowing my mind

Unreal - robots writing game summaries for sports snd financial summaries. Lookout bloggers!

The other thing I learned today- the best chess player in the world is NOT a computer-- it's a human with a computer #creativity

really looking forward to this... @prashantcss is very familiar and is sat on the front row!

Platforms are hugely important - Google, Apple and Amazon are reaping the benefits of the network affect (demand side economies of scale)

will there be a replay

@Rich_Feller replays are on now

Per #2MA, it's estimated a physician would need 160 hrs of reading, time - per week! - to keep up w new medical content published. Watson + humans = game changer

it's exceeded my expectations so far too, can't wait for this afternoon's live streaming and crowdchat

This is not just the next stage, this is the new stage. if the first machine age was about replacing muscle, the second machine age is about replacing mind.

@BertLatamore, loved that thought, also the combinatorial affect of man/machine is just getting started
