bobj | 10-24-07Albert Lai’s talk this morning at the Ontario Centres of Excellence breakfast was advertised as a vision of the coming Web 3.0 world. And, he did a bit of that.
Then, maybe sensing that there is a lot of hype around versioning the Web, Lai launched into his vision of Web 2.5, describing the nearer-term implications of technological developments …. stuff that entrepreneurs and innovators can get into right now. This is the realm of mobile devices with high definition screens, large memories, wi-fi broadband connectivity and GPS all wrapped up into a small package. Small enough that you can carry more than one device in your pocket, as Lai observed in his visits to the East.
So, who is Albert Lai? Now 28, he founded and sold his first company (MyDesktop) while still in his teens. He has started up, invested in and sold almost a dozen technology companies since. More about him and his philosophy (“Simplicity: The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Disruption”) can be found at Simply Albert
