I am heading to NYC for the fun and always engaging 140Conf. The conference starts tomorrow and the website stated that the focus will be "taking a hard look at something Jeff Pulver
calls “The State of NOW” and the continued effects the worldwide
adoption of social communication platforms such as twitter is having on a
number of industries including: Celebrity, “The Media”, Advertising,
Politics, Education, Music, Television, Comedy, Real Estate, Public
Policy and more."

We already had a fascinating discussion on our panel pre-call. I am sure the panel will be just (if not more) fascinating. The concept of innovating for our future (kids) is very relevant, especially taking into account the way our children already absorb and understand technology on a deeper level then their parents.
Not that I am talking about our own family..(ok, I admit it – I had a fear of creating an iPod playlist because there were so many options so my 11 year old did it for me.. geez..)
