This document discusses digital telepathy and the increasing connectivity of everything through technology convergence. It introduces the speakers and covers several topics including: energy and environmental megatrends driving connectivity; how technology is facilitating connectivity across various domains like home automation, renewable energy, and healthcare; examples of how connectivity enables human and machine interaction; and the need for early standards to address issues like privacy and security as connectivity increases.
