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?

I only accept boxes in stores if they’re shrink wrapped. And all the stickers meant to show that the box hasn’t been opened are still present. Else there’s no means for me to ascertain that it isn’t a refurbished product.

In Russia, they go even further.
Most electronics stores have an area just past the registers where everyone takes their purchases to have an employee plug it in and check that it actually works.
When you buy DVDs or CDs the stores have DVD & CD players where you can test the disks.
How do you say in Russian, “It’s better to be safe than sorry?”

If there is one thing I absolutely hate when buying the next cool gadget is to find out the box has been opened, the product used, or on display. Even more if there was no warning from the sales rep that the product had been on display, or demo’d to someone.
Funny story on this – I wanted to buy a Nokia N70 when it came out, and called a couple of stores to check their stock. Found one that had it in stock, and specifically asked if it was new, unopened – answer was yes.
So I get to the store, and open the box, apart from the plastic wrapper around the cellphone being a bit creased, it looked OK (I can understand an open box to show a potential client a device, but that’s it, nothing further than that). When I get home and start playing with the phone, and open the media player, I notice that apart from the couple of sample ringtones and media, there is a clip001 in the list.
Hit play, and this is an approximate transcript of the recording:
“[female voice] Today is September 15th, and this is Felix’s last phone [male laughter]”. So, the phone is -not- new.
I return to the store, and talk to the same sales rep. The conversation was more or less like this:
Me: “Hi, I bought this phone yesterday, under the assurance it was new, and it is not new”
SR: “Sorry, but we only sell new products here, the phone is new”
Me: “No it is not new”
SR: “It is”
Me: “No it is not”
SR: (getting cocky) “It IS new”
Me: “This phone was sold on September 15th to a guy named Felix, or lab pulled his DNA from the phone”
Sales rep at this point turns white, and goes to talk to the store manager, agitated and waving his hands. The store manager comes by, with the sales rep behind him, offers an apology and an immediate refund, no questions asked.
Went to another store nearby, where they did have a brand new N70. In the Nokia case, look for a holographic seal, these guys had removed it so it didn’t look so obviously opened.

Interesting point Robert … one employee can do SO much damage to the company he works for. Is robbing lenses the same ethical position as robbing intangible assets at a company you work for?

Why do people feel compelled to do these crazy things? I mean why are their spammers, etc. If they used their skills for good instead of evil just imagine where we would be. I know this is not an original thought/comment/question but I never think about people doing this sort of stuff until they do it!
All I have to say is that I’m a big believer in ‘what goes around comes around.’ I’ve been fortunate enough to see it come around once or twice but I know even if I don’t see it, it will come around…

Great tips.
My nephew works in the elctronics department in a Target store. He confirms that the store is more worried about employee theft than customer theft. When you consider stores like target are open all night, to give the stockers time to get their jobs done, plenty of opportunity.
I wonder what would happen if this sort of thing got into the online purchases.
