We were lucky to catch up with Stew Friedman after his keynote today. Here's what he had to say.

The day is drawing to a close now. You all seem to have really enjoyed yourself over the last few days.

We're in the Q&A section. A lot of the questions are about the fear we have of tech giants – from being listened to by our devices to whether they have too much political power. Stephen understands and shares these worries.

But he also believes that digital disruption is a benefit to the world. There might be negatives, but technology is changing all our lives for the better.

He gives one final piece of advice to everyone worried about their own careers. It's to go beyond fear and learn everything you can.

“Get curious.”

“What does all this digital disruption mean? It means what got us to the top of the 19th century mountain won’t get us to the top of the 21st century mountain.”
