Ready for “micro” 2008

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

You've been Microscobleized

Douglas Karr says 2008 is year of the “micro.” I totally agree with Douglas’ good post, which gives me a good opportunity to bring out my business card. Thanks to Hugh Macleod for that! Douglas started his post with “Perhaps it’s obvious but I believe 2008 is really the year that applications and strategies go Micro.”

It’s great to be ahead of the trend. 🙂

Oh, and I just uploaded new pictures of the real “micro-scobleizer,” my son Milan to my Flickr account.

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.

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.'

  3. Hey! I said that too, LOL. Seriously, though, he’s right.

    But why doesn’t he mention microvideo: utterz, seesmic, qik? That’s where *a lot* is going to happen.

  7. Still too early for this stuff. An iPhone, especially one that isn’t on a 3G network, isn’t enough.

    Better luck in 2009 … and even then, “micro” may be too early.

    Besides, the world in 160 characters is a sad world, indeed. Instead of microblogging, read Plato’s “Lysis” this year. Might give you a new take on social networks and what it really means to be a “friend.”

    Happy New Year!!

  10. Robert, when we was still young and impressionable, PCs were called micro-computers. 🙂 Remember that? Funny how we’ve come a full circle. What next – CP/M-2008? dBase 08? VisiCalc MMIX? 😀

  17. Robert,

    It’s always a thrill to get a trackback from the guy who inspired me to blog (after reading Naked Conversations). I was very close to putting Video up… and then didn’t, but you and Nil are correct so I’ve updated the post to include it.

    Thanks!

  20. Going ‘micro’ is merely the commodity market at work, things always go from big to small, pack more in, better space efficiently. House-sized vacuum tubers to Mainframe to Server Rooms to Desktop to laptop, laptop to PDA, PDA to Blackberry/Cell Phone. Nothing’s “going micro”, it’s always moved that way. And it’s well beyond micro, into the virtualization invisible.
