Well it’s time for another Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Booths are going up, devices are being polished, and check-ins are flying. Before packing my bags for Vegas, I was packing up Christmas lights for another year and I got to thinking: did the early deplorers of the electric grid have any idea what they we unleashing on all of us? 1,000 lights on a tree may be excessive, and it is pretty cool to look at, but the was no way they knew the availability of the grid in every home would spur a manufacturer in China to produce for me a strand of Christmas lights so our tree had some eye candy.
My lights may be the worst example of the innovations unleashed by ubiquitous electricity, but it does show how far and wide the potential of an outlet in every home extends.
The availability of the electric grid transforms lives and spurs innovators. The AED in every mall, school and workplace, pencil sharpeners, and toaster ovens – all inconceivable without enterprises spreading electricity far and wide. And of course it goes without saying, no electricity, no CES.
Today we are witnessing a similar paradigm-shifting deployment. This one is harder to see than overhead power lines, but is even more transformative. Verizon is providing real-time access to globally connected solutions. The network itself is innovating, evolving, and providing solutions that consumers and developers alike will feast on for years to come.
You want to host a video conference on your smartphone, watch your kid’s school play on your tablet, or check your stocks or Twitter stream on your television? Verizon’s network does it.
But it’s more than what you can do today; it’s about what you will do tomorrow.
The potential of what a borderless lifestyle means for content producers, to device makers, to app developers is what excites me. It’s the potential of their imagination that is ignited when they know nearly every American is served by Verizon’s wireless 4G LTE network or that the secure global delivery of their content is in real-time.
The next four days will be amazing, but the next few years – that’s where the real fun happens!
