SUBSEA SERVICES ADVANCE
FURTHER INTO DIGITAL FUTURE Rod Larson, President and CEO, Oceaneering International, Inc.
As technological innovations continue to change the world, it is apparent that change happens faster than we thought it would, and that these advancements often steer us in unexpected directions.
In the 1870s, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone to improve communication. In 1973, Motorola was the first to produce a handheld mobile phone. Everything changed again when Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone in 2007, and now, just a few years later, iPhones offer access to e-mail, Web browsing, a camera, music, and video. Not only did this industry undergo a rapid pace of change, but it also took us to a place that we couldn’t have predicted just a few years earlier.
