#day35 #startuplife Visited annual USA & China tech luminaries gathering #HYSTA2015 which was held in @computerhistory, #MountainView. Purposes of this conference are: to re-examine the current assumptions of global innovation, and to imagine the #future of a tech world without borders. It will continue tomorrow. Todays speakers included Jerry Yang former CEO of @yahoo, Allen Blue VP product management at @linkedin, Linda Avey co-founder at @23andME, David Wallerstein one of the #tencent founders, Ken Gullicksen chief operation officer at #evernote, Jenny Lee managing partner at #ggvcapital and many other #amazing people. Jerry Yang's fireside chat was very interesting. He stated that is very hard to apply #projects from #SiliconValley to China due to the fact that almost all of #disruptive startups from the Valley are not allowed in China. He said that after @yahoo, he now helps entrepreneurs mainly and he stated that if he was 19 again, he should have studied #chemistry and #biology, because in the next 15 years abovementioned disciplines would be crucial in the entire tech #revolution. Jenny Lee highlighted in her speech following moments: hardware becomes invisible in the form of sensors programmed by sophisticated software which in turn will predict users behavior and process 5200 GB of data per month for 1 human being. #startup #SiliconValley #California
