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?

With Amazon building out such a strong suite for developers, imagine if they picked up Ning or Facebook…where else would you go to develop?

This is a HUGE step for Amazon. They have become a company that developers love with S3 and EC2 (I swear by S3), and with this they’ve added a service that will generate loads of revenue in the future if developers take it in, which I think they will, given how great S3 and EC2 have been for everyone.
A lot of people don’t understand why an announcement like this could be so important to a company like Amazon, but they are saying to developers, “We are here for you.” And guess who gets to make the decisions about what payment system to use when developing applications? The developers. And I’m sure Amazon will be taking a 1% + $0.25 charge or something for every transaction, which adds to their bottom line.
Great move on Amazon’s part, there are some very smart people working there.

The amazon announcement is really significant because there is no other way for a small developer to do micropayments at a reasonable cost. Credit card companies typically charge a buck or fifty cents or whatever (I forget the actual fees) for a transactions no matter how small they are. So selling a song at $1 or $0.50 is really not easy. Most developers deal with this by requiring that the user buy “tokens” or “credits” on the service to deal with the minimum transaction fees. So for example you could buy $10 worth of credits and then use them as you need them. Fixing this will make micropayment services possible on the net on a large scale beyond companies like apple and amazon.

Hello,
If you aren’t a programmer but want to take advantage of the lower transaction fees, check out:
http://www.junglepayments.com/faq.aspx
They have developed the web service for you and allows you to generate links to place in your storefront/website. They are currently doing this for free and might plan to add a fee for extra services later. But the good news is that they do not add additional transaction fees … they use only what Amazon requires per transaction. Enjoy!

I use Google Checkout for my company (College Knowledge LLC– it works quite well. Integrating has been a real pain, though, but at this point we’ve put so much into it there’s no real reason to switch over to Amazon (at least not quite yet). This move could pay off down the road for Amazon, sure, but it won’t have an immediate effect on the bottom line!

At FreshBooks, we think it is a huge deal for our customers. So many of our customers want to get paid online, but their clients are still afraid of online transactions. Amazon’s trusted and familiar status will help get more people over the hump, and that means our customers will be paid faster. One step closer to the ultimate dream.
By the way, if you’re looking for some details on how it compares to PayPal, FreshBooks has detailed our experience so far at

I wonder to what extent FPS developers will have access to Amazon’s data aggregation and auto-recommendation technology. Will Amazon tell me what other content/products/services my customers might like? After all, they know what these people have searched for/viewed/purchases in the past…
Was interested to see Freshbooks listed as one of the first FPS users. One of Freshbooks’ claim to fame is their use of aggregated data to help customers benchmark their financial performance.

In the end, one service will come to dominate the market. So the question becomes, do consumers and business owners like Amazon enough to implement a new payment system? If they do, we could see Amazon overthrow PayPal in the online transaction market? Personally, I like this. I just wonder if other people will. We are resistant to change.

With their current price rate, they won’t be overthrowing anybody.
Their fees are higher than what I’m currently paying for paypal and google checkout combined. (of course, google has the price discounts to eventually free if you spend enough in advertising)
that 30 cents per transaction + a % of sales is killer. It’s high compared to other places out there.

I use Amazon’s S3 storage, currently via the JungleDisk interface.
It is fantastic – very cheap, infinitely scalable.
I just got my first bill for a trial I did: ~300MB stored for a month, with about 50MB of that re-downloaded back to my PC.
Total for the bill? $0.06!
Im a happy chappy.Great, cheap offsite storage. Sure there are a couple of others that offer various things, but in terms of scalability and price once volumes get very high, S3 is damn good.

A countertrend move motivated by Paypal envy. Payment processing is just an incidental service to online commerce. Now that it’s emergent, it seems more significant than it is. Eventually, it will be no more remarkable that checking out at a supermarket. At that point it will become a low-marging commodity service, and will be farmed back out to specialist processing companies.

In addition to FPS and S3 I think Amazon should offer other media and authentication services.
This will truly enable an awesome ecosystem for new services.
