HP Board Creates Tech Committees
from the can't-miss-the-future dept
In a surprising move, it seems that Hewlett Packard's board has created a special technology subcommittee and a technology advisory board who have the job of making sure the company doesn't miss out on any important technology trends. I think this is a great idea in theory, but I wonder how well it will work in practice. I think too many companies don't have anyone looking at larger trends and how it will effect their business (witness the entertainment industry, for example). The folks they have included are certainly impressive, but I wonder if some of them are too high up to spot certain trends early enough.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Tech City
It did have that pipe dream feel to it, like those science shows of the 1970s that predicted we would have cities in space by the year 2000.

The tech city near Fresno was put forth by Nortel, possibly to compete with Cisco.
