In the months since\, the global design and business community has exploded with speculation on the potential of embedded computing. But they’ve left many questions unanswered: How wil l wearable technology fit into our daily lives? Is it a passing trend\, or the future of computing? Will these kinds of devices bring people clo ser together\, or add to the distractions that battle for our attention? \;\n \;\nWhat’s clear is that computers will radically transform over the next five years\, from devices we carry to integrated parts of our outfits and bodies\, that we use almost without thinking. It’s a shi ft that will transform markets\, and challenge our definition of beauty. Please join us for a talk with local experts\, as they discuss their ch allenges and successes\, and explore what the future holds in this excit ing field. \;\n \;\nTo save your seat\, please register for this e vent on Eventbrite \;\n \;\nPANEL MEMBERS \;\n \;\nSean Madd en – Executive Managing Director\, Ziba Design \;\nSean leads multi-d isciplinary design teams to produce beautiful\, relevant work for client s including Microsoft\, Procter &\; Gamble and Sony.
