Some highlights from the second video:

Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of CEA: “The companies that are showing technology are showing the most innovative technology.  I’ve never seen so much in the 30 years I’ve attended.  A lot of this technology assumes ubiquitous broadband.  Broadband is clearly the future that we’re going to whether it’s wired or wireless, it’s very important.

Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of CEA:  “You can see where the products on the market today and the ones that have been shown here for tomorrow they assume there’ll be broadband.  Those products not only create jobs by the people making them and selling them, they create opportunities for content, applications, for new services and those jobs are good jobs, they are creative jobs and the kind of jobs Americans want where you’re using your mind.  We’re never going to be the factory nation of China but we are going to be the creative center of the world, and those are the jobs that broadband creates.” 

Dr. Alice Wilder, Kidos Software:  “Kidos is a downloadable software program that basically turns your parents computer into a kids computer, and what is does is it keeps your child safe from the Internet.  Broadband is an important part of what we’re doing because kids are used to getting content on-demand, and this is the ultimate in on-demand content.  What we can offer is a children’s digital media library from around the world.”Read more
