 National Association of Broadcasters, the premiere event in the world of electronic media for more than 80 years, will highlight Alvin Toffler as one of the speakers at its April 11-17 conference in Las Vegas.
Toffler is the iconic author whose book “Future Shock” has sold more than 6 million copies and accurately forecasts the disruptive influence on global economics by transformative information and content delivery technologies, including the Internet, wireless and other new technologies.
Toffler wrote that this shift overwhelms people because the rapid pace of technological and social changes leaves them disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation” — future shocked. Toffler’s other books include “The Third Wave” and “Revolutions of Wealth.”
This year’s international NAB show will also feature a content theater, along with two pavilions dedicated to IPTV and mobile solutions, and a designated commerce area to facilitate content partnership opportunities.
