If you don't know, G is an IT guy. So we decided to go to the largest tech conference in Europe, CeBit. It was HUGE, so many companies, so many pieces of tech. I just wanted to push buttons, and I got to play with lots of new technology. I was blown away by the amount of money these companies spend on displays. Microsoft had a huge touchscreen stage thing that was probably 12 x 12 feet, and a constantly updating and moving display of their keynote speakers. IBM took over almost a whole room.
Ahh! That's my hometown! You coming here for CeBIT is the closest I've come to meeting an Unclutterer ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good time - everybody here says this year's fair was a success in comparison to the past years.
It was quite amazing Nessie! Hannover really put on quite a show, and it was packed with geeks! :)
ReplyDeleteAhh, yikes, I didn't subscribe to the comments on this post, so I only saw your reply now.
ReplyDeleteCurrently the city is preparing for the industrial fair, but I reckon it isn't quite as attractive as the tech fair, eh?
Hehe, too bad I'm a book-geek, and not a techie one - the book fairs in Germany are too far off for me to consider going (my Mom always stresses about me travelling alone, despite the fact that I'm a legal adult by now).
