Keynote: Yesterday’s Technology is Dead, Today’s is on Life Support
summary
Narrative surveys concrete tech shifts: from a 1,200 baud Pressel that required a rotary phone hookup to modern in-flight Wi‑Fi that runs tens of times faster; a claim that the FBI paid about $1.5 million to unlock one iPhone and that 30 million Ashley Madison records leaked publicly; demos of Doom ported to printers, ATMs and oscilloscopes; examples of IoT gone absurd (smart perfume phones, selfie-stick bans, a coffee machine Rickroll) and insertable wearables, noting which hacks actually run and which ideas fail social or practical tests.
