On the morning that Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S, David Pogue, technology columnist for The New York Times, wowed an audience of judges and courtroom IT professionals at the Courtroom Technology Conference 2011 with his keynote on disruptive personal technology. Pogue, who has an Emmy and 1.4 million Twitter followers, did not specifically talk about courtroom technology. When it comes to industry conferences audiences, “I don’t presume to know their businesses better than they do,” he said. Instead, he dove into consumer technology-driven macro-trends that he said are sweeping the world and reshaping the culture. “The kids getting out of college right now have never known a world without the internet,” said Pogue, 48. “The change from our generation to the next one is bigger culturally than any one before it.”
Pogue surveyed the rise of app phones, social media, and “web 2.0″ — which have radically shifted user expectations. Today, everything must be interactive, real time, and on demand, including TV, music, movies, books, newspapers, magazines, even medicine, he said. “It’s my job to keep up with technology and even I get blown away by some of the changes,” said the columnist.
