As you age, you tend to look at new new things with an old pair of eyes. What have these got in common? Faxes, telex, mobile phones, online shopping, streaming video, internet-enabled devices, machine learning (AI), 3D printing, IBM punchcards, PCs, minicomputers, microcomputers, internet for trading, cloud, blockchain, DeFi... Yes they're all much older than they look. They are all subject to Bannister's laws of technology. Join a fun discussion on what goes round comes round again a second time in a different way.
Z/Yen conducts an irregular series of short webinars, CommunityZ Chest, featuring people from its various communities and clubs, viz. technology, financial services, civil society, and business. These webinars provide an opportunity to meet people from the wider CommunityZ, to share ideas, and to make connections.
