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.

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.'

  1. I certainly enjoyed Ken’s talk too. For anyone who works with young people the message that he gives about how we label them through our education system is profound.

    In fact, so far I have enjoyed all the videos I have watched from the TED site. I never thought I would have enjoyed twenty minutes of statistics (Hans Rosling on Global Health and Gapminder), nor a guide to a public library (Joshua Prince-Ramus talking about how he designed the Seattle Public Library)!

  3. Wow all I have to say is that is one great video and that Sir Ken Robinson is a fabulous speaker. I do agree with the speaker’s premise that more emphasis in learning should be given to that of creativity in young children.

  7. What an awesome talk, I really enjoyed it. And how right he is too…I just finished my degree in Physics, and the more I think about it the more useless it seems.

  9. I agree with all the posts, the talk was amazing.
    I saw so much ring true in his talk, and I agreed with a lot of his points about the education system, it’s ‘goals’ and how we’re all born arists.
    I’m kinda using my brother as a guinea pig in this idea, he’s 13, and already I’ve tried to make him as creative as possible.
    My philosophy is that I entrust the education system to teach him, but I try to empower him to be creative.
    Subsequently he’s good at a large array of subjects, but he still has that creative urge in him that makes him want to sit down and draw, or paint some of his Lord of the Rings figures, or anything like that.
    His favourite subject is history, which is an amazing thing, because it’s not something that is instantly thought of as being a necessary skill, like Maths, or English, or Science.

    I hope that I can continue to make him creative till he’s my own age, and from him I’ll learn for my own children one day.

    But that’s just my two cents.

  11. Is a while since I’ve been to that part of the US – have to add the library to the places to go next time I’m out that way.

    I have to say with Joshua’s talk, after getting my head around his statement that a public library is not primarily about books, there is then a moment of amazement where he says that the building is laid out exactly like his usage chart, but when it is wrapped in the glass shell it looks superb. I particularly like the book spiral idea, which effectively puts all the books on one floor.

  19. In viewing the National Governors Association meeting and Sir Ken Robinson’s address, I was totally mesmerized with the scope and clarity of his visions. 
     
    I felt he was looking not just ten year’s in the future, but on a totally new dimension of how to elevate his viewers expectations and opportunities in the educational process.  This starts much earlier in the child’s development process than I have ever seen. 
     
    I feel that his contribution to world progress is on the order of that of Albert Einstein to the field of mathematics.
