The Web has levelled the playing field. Now, anyone can come up with a great idea, and unleash it on the world. In an age where consumer electronics is massive business, every new invention is a potential goldmine. The best thing is, to capitalize on it, you don't even have to have the idea yourself. You just have to know how and when it could change the world, and be ready. We will start with a look at some of the technology past milestones that have given rise to the success stories of today, and a look ahead at some which have yet to happen — the ones that you may be able to make a few zeroes on. And then it's on into the dark side — after all, innovation isn't always for the greater good. As more and more real life and real business takes place online, there are real opportunities for organized criminals to cash in. So, who are they? How are they structured? And how are they likely to hit you? Place yourself in the hands of the perfect guide — one who has investigated cutting edge cybercrime, and demonstrated how easy it is to command an army of zombie machines to do anything you want.
