I Went to Yahoo's Field Trip to the Future — Here's What I Took Away

I love the internet. I also love nature. Who would've thought?

So when Yahoo invited me to Field Trip to the Future, FWB's gathering in Idyllwild, part music festival, part tech conference, my answer was duh.

Woodstock Meets Gilmore Girls

It's an unlikely concentration of techies who are optimistic about the future of the internet. Woodstock meets Gilmore Girls — that's genuinely the only way I can describe the vibe.

My Chariot Awaited (Literally)

Hop in, my chariot awaits. Yahoo curated the whole thing, and I rolled up as a passenger in a Yahoo-branded VW van.

The Real Takeaway

Here's what stuck with me: tech has never been more powerful. And people have never been more scared of what it's for.

I think technology is meaningless without the people it involves. Tech has an obsession with taste, but tech is meaningless without humans.

Yahoo Is Back

And this event celebrated all the beautiful things the internet has brought us.
