2. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries We say in our religion – Since our temple was destroyed – prophecy is given to foolish people only! So – why I need to predict what will bring the future in the Electronics area?!

3. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries Since the nineties I use the saying - What was yesterday only a dream, today it’s reality and may be tomorrow it will be obsolete. So help me good to find the crystal ball that will help me to adopt the right technology and the best applications.

4. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries I still am looking for this crystal ball…. May be that some of you hold the crystal ball???

5. IAESI - Israel Association of Electronics & Software Industries After all I was asked to present my on opinion about the – “Future Technologies and the Direction of the CE industry” I will try..
