BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.

He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.

SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.

SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?

“They had Raymond Chen (one of the world’s top Windows programmers)”.
Raymond is a great guy, but don’t you have enough of this starification system, especially when you put it so much to the extreme : I think you mention Raymond every 100 posts. I am sure many people at Microsoft are doing just as great. Just have a thought for the unnamed.

Doesn’t get it? An international software solutions company and you and Doc are cry-babying over the fact they aren’t doing RSSy blog searching? (Rolls eyes). And just on a pure theory basis, it’s smarter to wait until the froth churns itself out, moving in for a kill, buying at firesale prices. Buying during the hype hot zone, is a very bad investment.
But ‘doesn’t get it’ is the classic, pointlessly circular argument. Good old JCD said it best….
“The giveaway that cult thinking is present in any environment is how responses are given from possible cult members to probable nonbelievers. If you disagree, then you ‘don’t get it. Werner Erhard of EST (the über-cult of the 1970’s) used to use this phrase over and over. Tell Erhard that something makes no sense. ‘You don’t get it.’ Tell him that something is self-contradictory. ‘You don’t get it.’ Tell him that something is just plain stupid. ‘You don’t get it.’ This is the level of debate you can expect when cult thinking is present. But, of course, ‘I don’t get it.’

Speaking of “a voice in the wilderness”: Windows Mobile division in Microsoft has just released new version of Windows Mobile: 5.0 and they removed (!) ActiveSync over Wi-Fi feature that many thousands people used. Instead of making it “switched off by default” they removed it.
So sometimes it is really very bad with Microsoft and Microsoft is not listening – and I mean: also to listen to all people/analysts/journalists, not just to their MVPs that in most cases are too uncritical to be useful.

I don’t really have anything to add to this, but what’s with the pingback fake comments?

One minor acquisition won’t change Microsoft’s image by much (although it might twist some opinions of the few hundred blogosphere A-listers or something) sadly. That’d take some real clout from above. Image is set from the top down, and while I love the grassroots stuff Microsoft is doing these days.. with the “top” of Microsoft still being such sticks in the mud, the image isn’t going to change much.

“Watch what happens with Start.com”
Scoble, you’re such a tease.
Peter –
You’re right, an acquisition isn’t going to change Microsoft’s image. Nothing is going to do that overnight. But let’s talk in the Spring and you can let me know then if you think Microsoft’s image is changing.
There is one truth in the common Microsoft-as-Borg analogy. Microsoft adapts. Microsoft adapts to changes in its environment like nobody else. I think it’s one of our greatest strengths.

Hey, Robert.
First, I didn’t say you were the *only* voice. As you know, I’ve often given Microsoft props for welcoming blogging by employees, and listening to them as well.
Second, you’re right that what I said was about DNA. Not image. Specifically, it’s about where companies come from. It’s to Microsoft’s enormous advantage that it comes from PC software. From the desktop.
As for Start.com and the rest of it, I’m eager to see what shakes out.
Meanwhile, we’re still very early in the history of the Net, of search, of syndication, of countless services that have yet to appear — and we will come to regard as essential to civilization.
Right now, in the U.S. at least, the phone and cable carriers are holding back the evolution of those services. That, fundamentally, is what my post was about.
Calling on Google to break that logjam is more a bet than a vote. I hope somebody does it. Or more than one somebody, so there’s competition. Microsoft is certainly a candidate. Though I have seen little so far, besides your blog and a few others, that encourage me to bet on Microsoft (at least on this issue).
So, surprise me. 🙂
