During CES 2009, Sir Howard Stringer spoke about the “CES 7” – seven imperatives for creating the ultimate user experience. These are seven goals for the entire Consumer Electronics industry and Sony – it’s very moving and definitely worth watching. One of my favorite quotes from this presentation is from the beginning, where Stringer states, “If you can imagine it, we make it real. A decade ago, the industry envisioned a future networked world – we made it happen. We said HD would be the future – and some doubted it – and we made it happen. We said that full wireless mobility would become widespread, and we’re making it happen. We said that Blu-ray would expand and dominate our visual horizons, and it has.” My apologies for the shaky camera work, but my arm was pretty tired at this point. We originally had this video up at Vimeo back in January (and it was deleted soon thereafter), but we have remastered and reuploaded it for your enjoyment.
Let’s hope Sony keeps to these seven initiatives!
