This week Barcelona played host to the Mobile World Congress (MWC), without a doubt one of the most important new technology showcases that currently exists. The proof lies in the figures: 75,800 delegates, 20,000 support staff, 1,800 exhibitors from around the globe. And most important of all—the presence of the world's technology leaders in the city of Barcelona. The center stage at this year's event was undoubtedly taken by Facebook's Zuckerberg and Jan Koum of WhatsApp fame.
The foremost mobile communication event is fast approaching. This year, the Mobile World Congress will be held on February 24, 25, 26 and 27 at the Fira in Barcelona. In addition, this year five Spanish mobile apps will compete for the best application of the year in the Mobile Premier Awards. In less than one week the Fair will open its doors with professionals like Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook) and new products such as the Samsung Galaxy 5.
This week I was finally able to test Google Glass. Not only that, I even gave a conference wearing the glasses (thanks to the company www.itglas.es). I'll sum up my experience in one word: MIND-BLOWING.
In my opinion it's the most powerful technological revolution since the cellphone, far superior to all the devices designed by my beloved Steve Jobs. You'll probably think I'm exaggerating, but Google Glass will enable us to do things with technology in situations hitherto unimaginable.
