It is Phil McKinney's turn to take the stage now, and he is the Chief Technology Officer at HP. He's on the way to reveal the future of technology devices as well as gizmos to the masses, charting a direction where it is possible to head. I wonder whether he reads concept design pages while preparing his speech.

Check out more information on where we’ll be in the future after the jump. You won’t be disappointed, trust me.
