\"\"<\/a>Coming back from a huge tech conference with thousands of people it was interesting to see how tech has come a long way.\u00a0 It is interesting to see both the number of iPhones and also the number of people on their phones during the break times and during the times that have traditionally been networking times.<\/p>\n

I probably saw only a handful of non smart phones and those with smart phones, probably 60%-70% were probably iPhones.\u00a0 I’m thinking I only saw one other person with a Motorola Droid.\u00a0 During lunch and during all the breaks, a good majority of people were on the phone checking back with the office or on their phone checking their twitter feeds, Facebook accounts, rss feeds, etc.\u00a0 These times have been traditionally to network with other people, pitch their company to new people.<\/p>\n

I think the biggest change that I saw at this conference was the amount of laptops.\u00a0 It wasn’t too long ago that only a hand full of people had laptops because they were so expensive.\u00a0 I remember getting my first laptop…\u00a0 a Pentium 200 Mhz generic brand.\u00a0 It probably had 30-45 min of battery power.\u00a0 Even in the last few years, the advancement in laptops has change dramatically as well.\u00a0 People with laptops that were only bought a year or two ago were searching for plugs because their batteries couldn’t last that long.\u00a0 I even heard someone say, “Can I plug this in for a second while I swap out my battery?”\u00a0 Those with newer Macs or Netbooks were good for the conference.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned before, I only saw a handful of people with iPads.\u00a0 I imagine, next f8 conference, there will be a whole lot more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
