So many convergences, so little time.

I'm looking forward to attending this event in San Diego on January 24th. It will be a convergence of convergences, including the convergence of "wireless technologies, dramatic cost reductions in DNA sequencing, and increased access to health information via websites, blogs and online social networking." The convergence of these technology advances need to be converged (sorry) with the deep-seated challenge posed by chronic health problems. The sheer magnitude of the cost crisis in healthcare will force these convergences. Given the grandiose scope of this subject matter, it will be interesting to see where the panelists go.
