LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2002

Many people talk about the future of wireless and the impact of technology on business and society.

However, few have been forecasting trends as long as renowned technology visionary Paul Saffo. He is profiled in a special article in the July/August issue of Wireless Future Magazine(TM) (available now at wirelessfuturemagazine.com), an online service from Wirelesslee Inc.

Saffo is director and Roy Amara Fellow at the Institute for the Future, a nonprofit technology think tank in Menlo Park, Calif. In an article by WFM contributing writer Sally Ruth Bourrie, Saffo explains that we're in the midst of a "personal media revolution" being driven by wireless. "The last revolution we watched; in this revolution we're participating," he says in the article. The technologies that Saffo describes as being integral to the wireless future include 802.11 networks, ultrawideband, mobile gaming and entertainment services, and radio-frequency identification systems.

"As a leading forecaster, Paul Saffo has some fascinating ideas about the direction of technology for the next few years," said WFM President and Editorial Director Rikki Lee. "The wireless industry has benefited from his visions of what will come and his insights on how it will affect us. He is truly a man of the future."
