2015 International Toy Fair…Magic 8 Ball…High Risk

Posted by Ernest Falkner

In the book, Zillion Dollar Thinking, the “Forward and Fast Forward” chapter sites the American International Toy Fair of 2004 (over ten years ago). The comparison was how far we have advanced from the Magic Eight Ball of the 1950’s.” The alarm was how artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic and psychographic profiling was quietly being embedded […]

I just viewed a live interview with Bubba Watson on “Morning Drive” and the Golf Channel. In case you missed, he is the new winner of the Green Jacket (Master’s Golf Tournament).
