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?

The problem with TechMeme and the leaderboard is it’s all the same. The gaming aspect of it only increases that tendency. You could pick a handful of the top 100 and miss very little from the rest.
That’s no knock on the handful or really on anyone on the board. It’s just that very few news aggregators originate much original thought. They’re way to busy tracking and commenting on other’s original thoughts.
That’s cool, it’s very helpful, and I do subscribe to that handful (including yours), but what I really want to do is peer beyond the radarscope and see that original stuff that doesn’t quite make the grade. I want to see blogs 101-200. And if the leaderboard expands, I’ll want to see what falls off the edge of that.

Thing is, videos are not so easily searchable, and nor are they fast to assimilate.
In talking to a number of bloggers in the last few days, we all feel fairly disgruntled when a link goes to a video or podcast as its often just too much time to get at the content than we want to spend.

Exactly alan. If a video is longer than, say 5 mins, I always hope that someone has summarized it and captured all the key points.
I used to listen to tons of podcasts on my long commutes to work. But now that my commute is only 10 mins, I simply can’t listen to half hour or longer podcasts or videos.
Now I simply want summaries. I find myself reading Rafat Ali’s suite of blogs often since he summarizes the content so well.

Good point Alan P. I do like the videos, but I am very choosy (due to a lack of time) what I watch. I download more than I ever get around to watching – 10 mins max.

I’ve to say this Scoble: I’ve watched, I think 3 videos of yours in all after you came to PodTech. Channel9 is a different matter because, I’m a developer and Channel9 stuff is for Devs and IT folk. This video? About a Party organizing site? With all respect to bizgirl (I *think* I know how hard it is to run a business), I don’t think that video will add any value to me.
And, where are the developers in your videos? Looks like they’re filled with more of Execs than devs?

I like how the NY Times does many of their videos – they include a full written story. The videos are often well produced, and bring you along as the story unfolds, which is very different from an unedited interview or event.
It’s like anything else, the web has had a long time to evolve into a medium that uses the printed word very well. Video and other media have not had the same time to integrate into how the web works, and how people use the web.

Yuvi: you are right. I’ve been getting a lot more executives lately. Why? Because companies give me the execs and don’t let me into talk with the developers. It’s a big problem. Some companies, like Twitter, have let me into talk with the devs, though.

Dan: good point. But NYT has resources that I simply don’t have. And I’m putting up a video every day. How many journalists there are doing that?
Yuvi: maybe a business about party planning isn’t your thing, but I’ve done 300 videos over the past year with diverse subjects from Microsoft Research to file managers at Sun Microsystems to tons of startups that cover a wide range of things.
Not to mention a few Stanford Professors, who you WOULD learn something from.

While I’d love to watch videos on pioneering Stanford professors and the like, the fact is that I usually read your blog from work, where “high bandwidth applications” are blocked.
So the whole video thing doesn’t work for me, and it’s annoying to click through on an entry of your just to realize that I won’t get anything out of looking at the post since it points to a video I can’t watch.
