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.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
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?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

“Oh, and how much do they spend again? How about almost nothing?”
They spend nothing? What about their time, their most valuable asset?
And oh, I didn’t know bandwidth was free. Unless they use BT or other P2P network of course.

Your Snarky Cyncial Trollish News Report… 😉
RocketBloom reminds me of bad photocopy of early early MSNBC, back when they had geek content. And her sing songy up and down voice, makes my teeth hurt. Someone buy her a teleprompter please, and a voice coach and a screenwriter. But the internet is good for this weird-off stuff, takes all kinds. And you can’t help but like her good-natured take. Might of had an outlet on TechTV maybe, back before the audience margins disappeared with a geek focus and they morphed into the fantastic G4 Video Game TV, (which actually is quite good, esp. Icons, Adam and Morgan).
Saying she get’s 130,000 views, and comparing to CES, is not even in the same ballpark, as big deals, mutlti-millions of dollars get allocated and bought and sold with the CES 130,000. Her 130,000 (I don’t buy the figures, but assuming so) get a 3 min zap of weird video and internet content links. Your bubble ‘eyeballs’ accounting again. 😉

PS – Boy were the Google and Yahoo keynotes even worse than Microsoft’s vaporware flame-up. I get headaches from listening to Gates’ future-waffle speech shrill scrawl, two Excedrin needed, but gosh that’s nothing compared to Larry, ack, whiny little Nerf ball, in a Charlie Brown’s teacher high-pitched mumbling ‘wonka wonka’ voice, waving around a thick pad of notes.
Yahoo! Plays! With! TV! And! Phones! But! All! So! Very! Murky!. Google Software Pack of Nothing, also tinkering with phones. And mumbles up a generic Video Store something and mulls connecting all your devices, blah blah, with Robin Williams being too darned annnnnnooonying throughout.
CES is not Comdex. GYM fell flat, imho. Yahoo with the normal Yahoodda yadda yadda, and Ellen DeGeneres doing growner stupid stand-up one-offs. Google a big mess of vague nothingness, with Microsoft all vaporware and money-losing dead-ends and soon-to-be-coming-next-year tech, with that ‘Project Looking Glass’ thing (rather Vista).
Say what you will about Steve Jobs, but he’s the Supreme Master Majestic King of Demos, GYMs were a buncha amateur-hour toothpaste commercial rip-offs, in comparison. Expect Jobs to home run at the top of the inning, no matter what he announces, as last inning was three quick strike-outs.
Biggest disappointment? No SPOT 2. 😉

“morphed into the fantastic G4 Video Game TV, (which actually is quite good, esp. Icons, Adam and Morgan).”
WTF are you smoking?! I can’t believe anyone would utter the words “fantastic” with “G4 TV”. G4 killed whatever soul TechTV had and replaced it with contrived “wackyExtreme” hosts and content that maybe 12 14-year old boys care about. Once you are syndicating “The Man Show” for cryin’ out loud, you’ve pretty much hit rock bottom. Icons is occasionally entertaining. But they CONSTANTLY re-use footage within each show. So they only have about 4 shots that just get repeated ad nauseum. (“Oh look, there’s Mario jumping over the barrel at the bottom of the screen AGAIN. What’s that? 40 times so far since the commercial?”
re:Rocketboom. It reminds me of Saturday Night LIve. And not from the 70’s or 80’s. The current wasteland that is SNL. On occasion a funny bit will emerge, but is it worth sitting through all the Jimmy Fallon skits to get to it?

re: X-play. Morgan Webb is on there for the 12-15 year old boy hard-on demographic and Adam Sessler is annoying. But I’ll say this, he hasn’t changed any throughout all of the mergers. So he may really be that wacky-in-a-contrived-and-phony-way all the time.
But the reviews seem honest.

Wireless World: Carriers losing focus?
Wireless carriers have lost their focus and are concentrating on the wrong priorities, like trying to recruit as many new subscribers as possible, rather than properly serving those customers they have already contracted with, experts tell United Press International’s Wireless World.
Mobile-phone-network operators are under competing pressures this year. New technologies are coming to market, like 3G cellular networks, next-generation network Internet Protocol multimedia subsystems — so called NGN/IMS technologies. By Gene Koprowski

Chris C must be the first person I’ve ever heard of that likes what happened to G4/TechTV. ZDTV and TechTV were great. I’m talking about back when they had Laporte, Dvorak, Norton, Botello, and Pirillo.
I have to wonder how successful G4 is these days – having given up their “geeks of all ages” programming in favor of “Gamers geeky enough to watch TV about games but not geeky enough to have more reliable sources of gaming news/entertainment.”

Sigh. Remind me never to hire you guys as TV programming Execs. Extreme Geek TV doesn’t fly, mainstream video game TV does. Sure the demographic isn’t at your cutting-edge geek point, but given that when they tried that with Tech TV the audiences went to almost nil. So they went for a more mainstream approach. And you have things like Judgment Day, Filter, Cheat, Street Fury, the Specials and Award Shows and just the plain video game trailers of Cinematech. All in all much much better programming, the unoriginal syndicational reruns annoy me too, but then I guess they know their numbers.
Example: World of Warcraft is a major phenom, Star Wars Galaxies is not, Star Wars is trying to make the switch-over to massive Warcraft-like audiences, but lotta gamer geek old timers are screaming bloody murder. All fine and well, but not enough of you geek twizzleheads to run a service. 😉

Much of RocketBloom’s traffic comes from prebuscent boys and horny men awaiting the day Amanda Congdon bares all. Half the searches related to video blogs have to do with her, so it’s obvious why their site took off – it’s not a novel idea, but I’m sure everyones jealous they didn’t think of it first!
Tech TV is more for, pardon the term, noobs than anything else. Much of their content is stuff that most users have already discovered, as well most of the programs serve as advertorials, I for one am glad that the channel is on its last legs! Again Tech TV depends heavily (as Christopher Coulter mentioned) on their Gaming Shows, which is again sold with that girl on the show (I can’t remember her name..let’s call her bimbo #1 – not like its bad thing
