What will future entertainment look like – and how will we consume it?  How will the distribution, sharing and enjoyment of music be changed by driverless cars, wearable technology and computers, sensors, 3d printers, curated content, and robotics?  What will privacy and personal identity mean within the evolving context of the hyper-connected, always-on age of mobile and big data? What kind of new devices will we see in the future, and what are the devices that we’re using now that will become much less relevant?

As chairman of the Home Recording Rights Coalition (HRRC), Shapiro led the manufacturers’ battle to preserve the legality of recording technology, consumer fair use rights, and opposing legislation like PIPA and SOPA, harmful to a robust Internet.
