Andy Ihnatko – A Year without Media

One of the hits of 2010 Macworld was a 30 minute presentation by Andy Ihnatko writes about technology for the Chicago Sun Times. He wrote the best book on the Iphone by far and is a frequent participant on Macbreak Weekly.

Andy went one full year without any printed media !!. He says the hardest part was that 20 minutes when the plane door closes and you can’t turn on any electronic devices. It is then that he pulls out People Magazine and reads about some young starlet and her 8 children.

Hopefully someone will publish a video of this talk. It is a classic. Meanwhile here are a few clips I took with my Flipvideo UltraHD while sitting in the audience.

Thanks Andy ! It was the best of Macworld for me.

The video below is about 20 minutes long but well worth watching.
