Some Concerns for our ACM MM Family
• Very conservative• Live in Virtual World• ACM MM has a wonderful chance to be a
leader, but …
A Dream related to my ACM Family
• We will lead the media revolution – enter new age after the Gutenberg era.
• We will lead industry, rather than follow.• We will take the media revolution to the
Middle of the Pyramid.
