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. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ 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.'

  7. “US Study (August 2006) finds women prefer tech products to jewelry”:

    “Jewelers might have to count iPods and cell phones as new rivals for the affections of female consumers.

    A new study from the Oxygen cable network reports that women are closing the gender gap when it comes to technology, showing strong interest in tech-heavy products, often at the expense of more traditional luxury goods, including jewelry.

    The “Women’s Watch: Girls Gone Wired” study says 79 percent of the female market is interested in and using technology, breaking the myth that the only women interested in technology are urban trendsetters.”

    PS: When will Scobleizer respond to comments on behalf of Marc Andreessen, now that he is Andreessen’s comment keeper?

  17. Honestly, I would have liked it if my husband had asked for my input on what he was getting for “me” to use. Just like you bought her the BMW for her to use. Who drives it more? Her or you?

  19. And it is the thought behind the gift, not the gift itself that counts. Did think about what she might want? I know that she loves the phone, but on the off chance that she didn’t, did you do any research into anything else that she might have liked to have had for her birthday? Gee with a new bambino coming into the world soon, there are a million and oe other directions your mind could have gone, too, in the way, of meaningful, heartfelt, birthday gifts. I am sorry, but an IPhone, doesn’t to me, say, I put a lot of thought into your gift. But that is just me.

  25. Rebecca, you stepped into it. I made a comment once about something Robert ‘did’ for Maryam and got slammed heartily for my troubles.

    A Robert and Maryam post is only supposed to inspire verbal kittens and puppies.

    But having said that, it really didn’t sound like Maryam wanted either an iPhone or jewelry, to me, too.

    Angel, when Robert stops posting his business to the web, perhaps we’ll all stop minding it.

  29. Chris, no I’m not. It just annoys me when I see people pretend they know what’s best for a couple’s relationship than the actual people involved in it.

    It’s even more ridiculous in this case when his wife CLEARLY STATES in the first sentence that she loves the item that he bought her.

  35. Maryam drives her BMW more than me. She loves driving that car too.

    In both cases I bought things that she said she wanted. She told me she wanted a new car. I got her a BMW. She told me she wanted a new cell phone. I got her an iPhone.

    When she told me she wanted a ring, I got her a ring.

    She is a good joker that I go a bit overboard, but that’s just me. Only the best for Maryam.

  37. @18 “When she told me she wanted….”

    I’m pretty sure she hopes the someday she doesn’t have to tell you what she wants. She probably hopes you will be paying enough attention that you will know what she wants without either having to ask or her having to tell you. I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

    @12 “But let’s face it, you’d get a lot more practical day-to-day use out of gadgets than you would expensive jewelry that you only bring out on special occasions.”

    You obviously do not know where jewelry comes from. 🙂

  43. Angel, if you know any out of work or semi employed people that are regularly in tech circles from Seattle or SF that would like a part time sales rep job, please get a hold of me. Craigslist does not take Canadian issued credit card payments and I’m having a hard time finding one.

    I ask because you seem very passionate about technology and I am taking a chance that you may know one.
