The Top 12 Technology Trends for 2009 & How Credit Unions Can Benefit from Them
Ron Galloway, Filmmaker
Session Description
The past year has brought startling changes in technology. Your iPhone can recommend restaurants near you. 250 million people in China use virtual cash instead of Chinese currency. Have your DNA analyzed for $300 and find out if you're prone to cancer. Google can predict flu outbreaks faster than the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It's a brave, new, fascinating world out there! In this presentation, Galloway predicts the top technology trends and how credit unions can adapt to, and prosper from, these new innovations. For example, will Twitter become a primary tool for communicating with members? Will artificial intelligence "bots" manage and trade funds for members? Will cable companies' adoption of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) allow CUs to have their own low cost cable channel that members can watch and communicate through? Will CU debit cards contain member healthcare information? Will the mobile phone finally become a member's "wallet"? Find out more at this session!
