At Rackspace http://www.rackspace.com we care deeply about where startups and the future is going, especially since so many of the technologies we use will require new kinds of cloud computing technologies.

For instance, how are sensors, wearable computers, big data, social data, and location data changing Silicon Valley business? We keep hearing big changes are ahead so we went and visited Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape to talk about the future of the tech industry. He's on the boards of HP, Facebook, and many others and is largely seen as one of the best investors on Sand Hill Road now. http://a16z.com is where you learn more about his VC firm, Andreessen Horowitz http://a16z.com

Some things we learned: "we are going to have a virtual overlay on the real world."

    Absolute homerun, Robert. What an epic and inspiring interview. You can almost see and feel the creative energy emanating from Mr. Andreesen. History will write that he was one of the most important people ever in the Technology field.

    Andreessen might be admirably intelligent but just like too many other 'white' Westerners these days, he is unapologetic Zionist.

    Robert great interview! Want to point out that having been inside brick and mortar Fortune 500 cos for years that they are no where close as a group to knowing everything about their businesses. There's still many companies just trying to connect all their systems, install SAP

    Great interview Robert of Marc! Bravo! (Watch out Charlie Rose!) We have had many of these sensors in medical, military, and space settings. It has taken time for the transition. As Marc states its more evolutionary (like the 1972 Internet that didn't grow until Netscape in 90s open it up for masses) Love the "Liquidfying of markets" concepts. @mikegordonryan

    When are they going to clone Marc Andreessen? A humble man that seems to have all his sensors in tune with creating the future!

    Great interview! I am happy to hear him mention "Toronto" in this interview.

    Great discussion, as usual. A contextual web is something I've focused on for the past few years, since I believe it is the natural evolution of the web. We recently launched cliqie.com (after the word "cliquey") to help you discover groups of friends nearby that share your interests and passions.

    Our mission is to build the world's most extensive interest graph and pioneer the passion graph. This will enable interesting possibilities for us to serve as a platform for the contextual web.

    One of these days, a vast number of people would want to have a personalized privacy SW to manage what information to share to public, how it perceived and what to keep privately. as there are so many data points for a person to manage.
