It was again a great day for Ts in Dubai.
I had a chance to visit GITEX conference.

This Technology Week is a game-changing, must-attend event located in Dubai – the world’s fastest growing technology hub.

    and many more...

Eventhough I am working in IT I felt like I am coming from a different century..
So many companies are building such an amazing tools.
Future is bright for AI. Probaby a bit scary for humans.
Today I saw a robot (only the face). But he was so perfect. You can hardly recongize that it is a robot. He can smile , he can show emotions with his face.. incredible..

If someone is interested I can post a video.

At the end of the day what can I say about GITEX 2017.
It was more than a conference.

Why Dubai:
Dubai is a dynamic innovation hub, a bridge between east and west, a pioneer in technology innovation. In just 20 years, the city has reinvented itself from a quiet fishing port to a global investment hub and leading travel destination. It is famous with its record-setting skyline, driverless metro and man-made islands. Its government investments in digital innovation means this incredible transformation will only gain pace in coming years.
