In the next 10 years automation will radically change society and begin to displace workers in some jobs. Self-driving cars, agricultural automation, machine intelligence, and big data are all coming. This means we will see machines that vary from making hamburgers to those that analyze an MRI. These and other innovations are closer than many people realize. This talk will give an overview of what's here today and what's coming in the world of automation.

Darren McBride, 54 is an electrical engineer, computer designer, and the CEO of Highly Reliable Systems, a manufacturer of storage appliances that backup server data.  He also founded Sierra Computer Group, an IT services company based in Reno Nevada.  Darren was the long time host of the Computer Bytes radio show, a guest lecturer at the University of Nevada, Reno, and past president of Entrepreneurs Organization (EO).
