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?

Anti-trust law is getting weirder and weirder as time goes on. I think people should just chill out and quit worrying about stuff so much.
ANother thing I wish I would see less and less of is Google news. Google is NOT the be all and end all. Their search engine is NOT the best out there. Google has mindshare and that is hard to beat. Google is now a verb, a noun, and possibly an adverb. It’s hard to compete with mindshare.
THe problem with people is that if Microsoft were to come out with something cool, and they have with Windows Live Search, etc. people think it cannot possibly be cool because it came from a convicted monopolist, big behemoth corporation.
I look at things weirdly, though. I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart, for instance because of the way they treat their employees. They refuse to let them unionize or give them a living wage. Everyone looks at things differently, and sadly, America has become the land of “settle everything in the courts” rather than settle it in the marketplace.

Actually, IBM got caught with some consent decrees sometime in the 50’s. It had a lot to do with vertical and sometimes horizontal integration (sound familiar?).
One problem was over blank punched card stock and who you had to buy them from (a maneuver that was similar to Kodak requiring you to get their processing when you bought their film and a number of other recent cases, like whose inkjet cartridges or toner you might have to use).
Another was over the service bureau business. Service Bureau Corporation was once a subsidiary of IBM and they had to divest it. (Control Data Corporation was the lucky winner, for a time.)
This last also reminds us of some things about scale and monopoly power. Other companies (e.g., Remington Rand Univac, where I worked at the time) were allowed to have service-bureau subsidiaries, but they did not have monopoly power. I also notice that certain kinds of licensing and exclusive business arrangements are not frowned on in the small but become honerous when exercised by a company with monopoly power.
You’ll notice, in all of this, that being a monopoly isn’t a problem, it is how monopoly power is used. (Well, maybe not exactly in Europe, but in the US certainly.)
When the DoJ went after IBM in the mid-sixties (LBJ era), the DoJ eventually had to simply give up. I don’t believe it or the public gained much of anything.
Oh, the unbundling of software as a tie-in to hardware and opening up to third-party software was a mid-sixties biggie. IBM was sued into unbundled software and consulting services and Mel Conway, a buddy of mine who understood architecture at the economic level, successfully predicted the 5% increase in TCO that resulted almost immediately. Heh. (Anybody remember who “won” that suit and where they are now?)

From the first paragraph of Battelle’s post – “…the IPO filing and going pubic.”
Does this mean Google is now an adolescent company? What happens to all of us when search’s voice starts breaking, or the page has massive acne?
