excellent presentation.

I think many people misuse the two terms invention and innovation.

According to literature in the field of innovation;

an invention is the creation of a “new device” or a service and

an innovation is the “commercial application” of that device.

Hence when cloud computing and other services are in their early stages of the 'S' curve it should be called inventions and when the market embraces them it becomes innovations

Great presentation I will share with my fellow developers at work.

I've seen Simon's 1 hr and 25 min versions. Managing the same crowd engagement in just 15 min is impressive.

Love the comments from people who have clearly never given an IT presentation in their lives and fail to understand that without a common ground combined with laymen terms for the audience to relate to (ie: a rifle to a tank fight), your audience is completely confused, lost and ultimately disengaged. His efforts to mix humor with the technical explanations was very well pieced together and he gave his presentation in a concise and well-received manner. Cheers.
