It is all clear now. I figured it out. My absolute favorite thing about SXSW is this: The pretentious people say it has jumped the shark. Do you know all those people who are so busy telling everyone “There’s nothing new at SXSW”? Yeah, they’re gone. The people who remain are the ones who are taking risks.

It seems that alongside the exponential growth of technology there is an equal growth in creativity. This is not necessarily among the creators of new apps and programs; there's a pretty obvious gold rush to capitalize on any successful phenomenon by creating the newer, better version of it. Many technologies debuting here at DEMO Conference's Fall Edition strike a similarity to existing mediums, then offer a variation or addition, each with the hopes of being the next company to sell to Facebook for $1 billion.
