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.'

IMHO you should keep the blog and stay active with it. For after all it is 21st century technology and if you keep it on a good service provider, the archive will be around for years to come. Does twitter give me a historic account of your thoughts? No, because it isn’t meant for that type of activity and Twittering is so though-disconnected – no organization of thoughts.
Eventually the general, dumb on IT, public will join us in the new century and discover blogs. When that happens great bloggers will even become more popular.
Somehow bloggers like you who test all the new social technologies need to settle on a technology that your audience can count on for several years. How long did it take the newspaper industry to decline? 150 years or so?
You have to maintain a good perspective, historic – now – future, even when faced with all these new technologies. Unfortunately, we can’t say what technology will house our thoughts in 100 years, but today you have to place the best bet you can.
Have a good trip…

You spoke to a Kiwanis club and they hadn’t heard of Twitter, etc.? Seriously, that has to be the funniest thing that you’ve written in a long time. Were you expecting them to be “in the know”? Next thing you’ll be chastising Masons for not posting photos of their rituals on Flickr or Rotarians for their lame Facebook presence. LOL…
Honestly, until the sites that you mention can branch into something more than just “friend” chit chat and even past photo sharing, they’ll never move past the 12-30 demographic in a big way. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love my parents and grandparents to get on Twitter, I crave the connection with my extended family in that way, but in our busy lives, unless there is an added measure of value for the time investment (not to mention the switching costs and just raw fluidity of these sites, which you’ve already discussed) they just won’t do it in a big way.

Rationalize it all you want, but to me, switching from blogging to Twittering smacks of nothing more than laziness.
You can knock out a Twitter from a street corner while you’re waiting for a light to change. But to sit down and write a blog post usually takes at least a little bit of thought and effort.
And those of us who aren’t keen on either Twitter or Friendfeed — and I do suspect there are a lot of us — might not always follow you from platform to platform the next time some new widget tickles your fancy for a week or so.
In fact, if you stop blogging, you’ll already have lost all of those people.
I consider myself to be in the top 10 per cent of the population when it comes to technology, and I have no time for either Twitter or Friendfeed. I’d put you in the top one per cent of of the population as far as “technophelia” goes Robert, so just be careful you don’t get so elitist that you leave your entire audience behind. You don’t want to have the majority of them wondering “What ever happened to that guy who used to write about cool new technology? I wonder why he ever stopped?”

You no longer have to travel to interview people
You can make use of virtual conference technology
Your video interviews lack closeups, they lack artistic aesthetics, the sound quality is raw….
The viewer never gets the chance to gaze into the eyes of the interviewer …. the eyes are the mirror of the mind. Eye contact is essential to FEEL the person.
This casual-like quality can just as easily be had using remote video conferencing with the same results
Your videos are raw – there is no other way of putting it. They lack ‘sensuality’
The casual approach is too self absorbed to fully tweak the art of communication
There needs to be more aesthetic quality and projection in those videos
It is so-o frustrating to not make people understand things….this should not be taken personal….there is so much that good be done

Safe Travels Scoble,
Initial thought on Flickr video I would say no, but then I thought if Twitter works in 140 characters, why can’t video? Perhaps context is lacking and that will be an issue. I don’t know, but thinking in post-Twitter mindset I’d say maybe, it all depends on how people use it.

For those of you in the silicon valley cesspool we think that your so high on your own passed gas that you need a wakeup call.
Twitter is like pissing in the wind. Not much thought went into it and you only do it if you HAVE to.
Not sure why you want to waste the time trying to catch the tweets of those you follow. Talk about sucking up.
A blog requires some time and thought to put something together what is worthy and then clicking on the submit button.
YMMV

I agree with you about the ‘friend divide’ .. most of my friends barely use AIM, much less Facebook or something as exotic as Twitter. And even though I have over 100 contacts on LinkedIn, I can count the number of emails and InMails I have sent on one hand.

Re the “friend divide”: I blog, use Twitter, have my Friendfeed on my web page so that people can see what I’ve been doing – and maybe one or two people who I actually know will read it, plus some more who follow a link to me and never come back. But that’s OK; I like doing this stuff.
But in terms of a richer online experience, I agree with you totally. I have a small number of friends who use Facebook, and of those, maybe five or six update their status regularly. I’m happy to be totally Web1.0, and go out and look for information; I just don’t imagine that the kind of connected world I’d like is going to happen around here anytime soon.

Your point regarding the size of the early adopter/geek crowd is incredibly pertinent. We sometimes get caught up in the excitement of the moment and forget that 99% of the world’s population has no idea about these amazing/game-changing/revolutionary technologies. Perhaps its time to get back to basics and build tools to let the mainstream catch up with us. I certainly think thats a noble goal, especially if that helps us connect more with our friends and families.
Bon voyage Robert!

I use friendfeed and twitter integration with facebook so all my friends (even the technophobes have facebook accounts) are able to follow my twitter posts. They tend to not notice the “alex twittered:” prefix of a facebook status update and ask me about twitter when they get around to it.
As long as we can bridge the gap between mainstream services like facebook and bleeding edge stuff like twitter, it shouldn’t matter how we post information on the internet.
