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?

While morally and ethically it is always better to get things right, I think that applies doubly so to journalists. A blogger is a person and everybody knows that people are wrong all the time. A journalist may be a person physically, but on the job, they are an extension of the journalistic outlet. When a journalist messes up, the entire organization suffers and in some cases, the organization can’t fully recover.
A blogger who gets things wrong is quickly forgiven and the mistake forgotten to probably never resurface. The only “problem” is that bloggers, especially when grouped together all saying the same thing, have tremendous influence. The problem becomes even worse when all these bloggers got their information from a professional journalist in the first place! That makes it difficult to pin blame on individual bloggers.

Here we go with the same blame the media crap again. As I said in my own post in response this little tiff — bloggers want full immunity to do what they want but are the first in line to want to be treated like press at conventions, press briefings, etc.
As a whole, increasingly the blogosphere is the one suffering a massive crediblity problem rather than the MSM. As I said in my post: “Bloggers often whine about corporate control of the media, when increasingly the blogosphere is just becoming another outlet for corporate-sponsored propaganda, fueled by bloggers who feel no need for any kind of journalistic integrity at all.”

Wow, and now even tagging Microsoft-apologist Wilcox. With Paul on a ‘kiss of death’ mode. You better take your vacation, you are morphing into a Dave Winer. You should know better than to tangle with the Press, just be above the fray, state your piece, and move on.

You should probably update the original “get it first, then get it right” posting. It would be good to have an addendum right on that page stating that, based on your experiences since writing that post, you now believe the contrary is best.

More and more people are getting their news from aggregators like Google News, and many of them don’t understand that just because an article is linked to, it doesn’t have a company like Google standing behind it. With the recent press release issues (a high school student was able to get a fake press release announcing his fictional employment at Google picked up) and then this 60% Vista code rewrite debacle, it’s become apparent that news aggregators must begin to vet or filter their sources.
It is for this reason that I think everyone should try to hold bloggers who report on the news to the same standards that “real” journalists are – and stop linking to stories or sites that aren’t credible. All the linking ends up doing is increasing their PageRank.
Certainly, it is the responsibility of readers to figure out for themselves how reliable the site they’re reading is, but in an age where any website can be made to look legit, this has become more and more difficult.

Frankly, does anyone really care Vista will ship late? It’s not as if it is some critical piece of software without which our computing lives will suck and civilisations will fall. It’s just another iteration of MS OS. One of the many OSes out there. So the release schedule slipped. So it might or might not be tied to the internal MS shuffle.
I mean, is anyone really surprised and/or affected?
I’d wager no.

Scob said “Here this is NOT owned by Microsoft.”
You are self-censoring yourself and you obey MS blogging policy, so that’s not entirely true.
Something you didn’t say about “bloggers versus journalism” is that journalism is not about posting opinions or judgements. Bloggers is all about filling this gap.

Mike: MS’s blogging policy is to “be smart.” Yes, I try to comply with that policy. Sometimes I fall short, like posts over the past few days, though.
Self-censoring myself? Well, you didn’t tell me your sexual behaviors that you’ve practiced in the past few days. Aren’t you self-censoring yourself?

I wonder if Microsoft believes in karma yet? “As you sow, so shall you reap.” Spreading FUD is almost always Microsoft’s first strategy, and now it is coming home to roost. I can now just hear Bill Gates squealing, “Why doesn’t anyone believe us?”

Robert, I completely agree with you; I just enjoy seeing people get their comeuppance. BTW, I’m not talking about you; I like you and your blog; I just wish you didn’t use your talents to defend Microsoft, an orgnization I believe to be evil, due to the example being set at the top.
