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

Amazon was the first Web 2.0 company, so how do I know which books my friends enjoyed?

Where is the “loan from a library” and “buy for $1 from a used book store” aspect?
If Kindle can’t compete with that, and doesn’t work in statecode:FN, then why the hell should anyone care?

Robert, don’t stop talking about the Kindle!
12 years ago – before the first eBook reader, I spent several thousand dollars trying to find someone to make an electronic book device I’d conceived (it’s working name was the el-bo). It all came to nought and then about 12 months later the first eBook readers appeared on the market.
So anyway, despite missing the boat, I still have a big interest in these devices and still see them as being wildly revolutionary. However, nowadays I can’t see them succeeding if they’re not a multi-functional device.
It doesn’t sound like the Kindle is “there” yet; sounds like it needs the Apple treatment. But I do want to keep hearing about it and how (if) it’s changing the way you read and other long held behaviours and attitudes.

Hi Robert,
As someone who loves reading and also loves technology (especially wireless technology), I find your videos about Kindle very valuable and enjoyable. I especially liked this one, where you discussed typography and reading faster on a paper book.
I expect I’ll get a Kindle ( I already have lots of books and short stories on my Tablet PC and multiple cellular phones), although I don’t know whether to wait for the second version. Some people (such as James Kendrick of jkOnTheRun) have been mentioning that the “forward” and “previous” bars are too big taking up much of the left and right sides of the device and, as a result, too easy to accidentally hit.
But electronic books are the future of reading. I love paper books, but in 20, 30, 40 years I think it’s likely that buying many types of paper books will be considered as “quaint” as buying CDs rather than audio files.

Robert, what is the resolution? Does it show pictures/diagrams etc in full detail? I review a lot of scientific papers, I take them with me on my notebook? Is it possible to take them on Kindle?

Hey, maybe you’ve heard of a new technology that came out in the early 20th Century: mass-market paperbacks.
They’re small, light, cheap, and can be held and page-turned with one hand. And despite that, they have 600+ dpi typography.

Would it work well for someone who can’t see particularly well? For instance, can the font size be increased as opposed to reading a book with a magnifying lens? I don’t mean a drastic magnification, just a nice subtle difference.

it appears your readers haven’t heard of the new revolution taking place where you can replace most of your library of crappy paperbacks that are rotting on the shelves and giving them a new electronic life that live forever as an ‘ebook’. The sony reader is by far the best bet, I am getting one for christmas, the amazon one is not there yet. I highly recommend you at least check out the sony reader:
