Tech Cocktail Delivering Happiness at SXSW — March 2011. After a quick review of O'Reilly Media's history, I touch on a topic that I have recently become more involved in—I think there is a revolution brewing in health care. We are going to start having feedback on what works and what doesn't. We can apply technology to fix the lack of accountability and other important issues. I think a lot about how our entire society is in a bubble, not just a tech bubble… there are some really important issues that may have a dark future. "This is another reason to work on what matters.
