Steve Dotto

Steve Dotto is the former host and executive producer of Dotto Tech, the “how to” technology show teaching Canadians how to get more out of their computers and digital devices. It followed on the heels of Steve’s very popular previous series, Dotto on Data and Dotto’s Data Café, which ran for 12 seasons on Canada’s educational networks to an annual audience of over 20 million viewers. Dotto has been a very active member of the high-tech industry for over 15 years. His industry experience includes stints in management with both a multimedia distribution company and a software manufacturer.

Dotto brings his humour, insight and energy to the speakers’ podiums across the country. He effectively straddles the space between the technology and the public, bringing a message to his audience that puts technology in its proper place, firmly in the hands of the users.

A background in theatre and comedy assures that Dotto’s talks are never boring, in fact they are downright entertaining.

• 1. Technology Update

  We are surrounded by technology, and you begin to wonder, just who is in charge. Are we spending more time in the pursuit of technology, or applying that technology to important tasks? I think the world of high tech is the most fascinating theatre we have today. Fortunes are being made and lost, the rules are constantly changing. There is something new and exciting happening every second, of every hour of every day.
  
  Whether it's e-commerce applications on the internet, or voice recognition technology or the convergence of cell phones and computers - the high tech world provides a tale worth telling. I look at the computer tools and techniques that really work. I concentrate on the practical application of computer technology to the home, the office and the workplace.
  
  Along the way I get to see most every new development long before they hit the store shelves. Then it is my job to put that technology into context for my audiences. I take all of this information and boil it down into understandable, and most importantly practical language, offering some insight into the application of technology in your market. My Technology Update covers the latest in hardware and software, exploring the trends with a look at what to expect in the near future.
  
  We all know we can't ignore the steady march of technology, but you have your own businesses to run, your own decisions to make. Dotto would be happy to have the opportunity to share his insights into this world to help you make your decisions from a better informed base.
