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?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

“Utterz”, isn’t that what cows have? 🙂
Question Robert…How does the world progress if the new isn’t adopted/tried until there is already a crowd?
I do agree with you though, there are so many social things out there that it’s almost impossible to keep up, the fatigue is real.

>> Here’s the condundrum: if a service has better features than Twitter but your friends aren’t on it, is it any good?
Sure, it can be good. Only one of my friends uses Twitter (an example of teenagers thinking it’s lame, perhaps?) but I use it in conjunction with facebook, MySpace, and my personal blog. Even though almost none of my friends have an account, they can still view my tweets and use the information accordingly. There are a lot of uses for a service like Twitter, even if none of your friends are on it.

Thank you. Here’s a syndrome we can recognize from Hollywood studio and TV execs. There’s a hit in some new genre (Heroes, Sci-Fi, Western, Sit-com, Detective). It scratches an itch. Next year 50 copycats. 49 failures. Time for really smart folks to discover some new itches that we don’t even know we have.

I agree with you about the social networking fatigue. Because I am in a tech support, creative and marketing business I feel it’s my business to at least check out and register for new services and at least “stake my claim” but all practical purposes I have settled on Twitter for Micro-blogging (Although I have a Jaiku account to aggregate other things), Facebook for general social networking and Flickr for my photo sharing. On top of that I actually spend more time blogging and posting to blogs like this one. BTW, what’s your twitter name?

I think the idea with Utterz is less about joining yet another social network but acquiring a tool to put your voice posts and mobile comments on the web. There are little widgets and gadgets for your website….that sort of thing. But I can see how it would be hard to migrate your entire social network if they’ve already adopted one platform.

Udders? Seriously – the only reason this crap happens and we get ridiculous names is because of the MILLIONS of domain names being held by squatters with no intention of using them. It’s the equivalent of having thousands of miles of beach-front property that’s filled with billboards that no one can buy to put houses on without spending an arm and a leg.
I was trying to come up with a name for a couple of my own ideas and you simply cannot find good domain names anymore. If legitimate users of the system can’t use it, the system is broken.

Hey Rob,
You tried Jaiku long ago, why you didn’t like it?
Besides the “all-my-friends-are-in-twitter” reason, I find Jaiku more polished and friendlier than twitter.
In todays world, every web app must be functional AND beautiful at the same time.

Milanesse: I didn’t take to Jaiku because Facebook does a better job of aggregating all my stuff and because Pownce came along with a much better UI. Also, with Jaiku I can’t see who is following me, where with all the others that I’m on I can.

Hi Robert. Actually social network fatique isn’t something that only happens to you. I assume you are one of the heiviest users of all these different possibilities, but I hear a lot of people discussig it right now. Services go live all the time, but not many of them are really thought through very well. Mostly they are trying to jump on the same bandwagon as the real popular services. I think we might just see a scattering of users across the services making them less valueable in the end. The service that starts thinking about what I get out of the network as a user, instead of looking at the value of the network itself, will be the clear winner in the end.

I’m more likely to fall back on a prior position of yours, actually, Scobe, where you thanked potential media competitors for abandoning certain services and platforms giving you a greater crack at those eyes and ears.
Why try it unless your friends are there? Because your friends AREN’T there. I’m trying Utterz but this time it’s about connecting to new people…people outside The Herd. If current friends read/see/hear me there…all good. It’s value will show, though, in how many new people I can expose myself to.
Anyone interested in more viewers around here? 😛
Hope all is well…remember to sleep, daddy!

I have to disagree with comment #5. Yes, there were lots of Survivor copies, but many other shows still followed the same concept and did really well (like The Apprentice). So You Think You Can Dance is a direct copy of American Idol, yet it’s actually a far better show and makes American Idol feel boring by comparison. Twitter is only good because it’s popular and because it was the first to gain traction; not because it’s well executed.

I spoke with Michael Bayer and and Randy Cork, both executives at the company, for the podcast last week (see the website link). I am impressed and am going to keep an eye on the company for a couple of reason:
1) they are going to have threaded audio commenting for podcasts.
2) easy (and free and non ad-supported) mobile blogging/vlogging/podcasting
3) they’re looking to be a supplement to, not a replacement for, your current social networks. it just makes sense.

I’ve long since abandoned MySpace and Friendster (yes, i was an active member once upon a time) and have to say, social networks stopped fulfilling my needs a while ago, facebook still hangs on.
i found utterz to be meaningful in a few ways:
– i don’t use it as a social network…their community manager ‘sim’ is my only “friend”
– it provides a unique ability to my blogger account being able to blog into my posts rather than a widget with almost none of their branding.
– 3 people have already told me they found my blog by looking through utterz. Three people! That might not seem like a lot, but considering they seem to have only started, i’m encouraged to keep using it.

I have been playing with utterz this last week and its fairly cool. Threaded voice posts from my cell, they added features based on requests from myself and Eric Rice this week.
I can post and listen to other posts from the road. Oh well. I like it. so instead of having a Scoble effect it will just grow organically.
