The Digital Road To Recovery

Rob Atkinson of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation gave a fascinating talk about the importance of investing in digital infrastructure during the IBTTA Annual Meeting in Chicago. He spoke about the kind of dramatic impact that significant investments in IT and the Smart Power Grid could have on our country, comparing it to the secondary impact of the Interstate highway system on the U.S. in the 1960s.

Fast Company expert blogger and leadership visionary Seth Kahan has written an excellent summary of Atkinson's remarks here. You can also watch Atkinson's full presentation on IBTTA's website.
