Not too long ago, the most popular game on the planet was World of Warcraft. I confess I played it for more years than I care to admit, and my human rogue rags was a joy to play. What never occurred to me was the technology and innovation that made these games possible would someday lead to the hardware that would support blockchain, cryptocurrency, quantum computing and other incredibly powerful tools. And this week, I'm hosting Rob Enderle, a technology futurist, a writer, and to be honest, pretty spectacular character. My favorite kind. Rob has been reporting on technology before. Most of us knew to care about it. Our conversation this week is going to cover that hardware that I mentioned earlier, but also we're going to dove into the 3D Web. What is it? Why should we care? Along with the future of electric cars, which may surprise you, our grid and other important topics. Join us for the conversation on this week's episode of The QTS Experience Podcast.
