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?

Robert,
While I do sincerely appreciate your bringing us all of this news concerning various happenings with the plethora of new companies out there, I honestly fail to see the value in so many companies basically doing the same things.
Granted, some of these companies do offer some very compelling stuff, but most of them are blah. They are a re-hash of each other. There are so manny Twitters, so many Techmemes, so many Friendsters, Facebooks, MySpaces. It’s almost information overload.
Like you, I am always keen to see what’s new. I get kinda excited, but then get let down when I see that something is just like something else.
I went to join MS’s Mash last night and had to do the waiting list thing. I hope it’s worth it.

Texas Nerd,
Web services like FriendFeed and Zude are trying in their own way to aggregate/mash information from multiple sources and cater to different demographics (there are people who like x,y,z web services at one place and in a certain way, and there are who like w,x,y web services and in a certain way). Robert is doing a great job bringing these services to our notice and giving some of his own analysis on this, but utimately the mashups that are best in reducing noise and filtering through information overload, and in a way most people like it will survive, whereas others will join the deadpool soon.

Zude isn’t the only one trying to mash this all up. The mere fact that there’s the need for mashing up information from social networks…and believe me, I hear that there is all the time…is a sign that there’s not enough there there. Another way around this problem would be consolidation of the networks. The problem with that is that people choose networks FaceBook, MySpace, etc… and platforms like Twitter based on personal preferences of how they work, where their friendlings are (or could be), and by subtle differences in their personalities.
This combined with business reasons for lack of consolidation makes this a giant problem which hopefully Zude or someone like Zude can resolve.

Every time I hear / see one of these sites like Zude, I keep thinking that what the web really needs is a button on every browser that can make a tumbleweed move around your screen. Possibly a coyote howing in the background as well.
“Think about building a mashup between Twitter, Facebook, Upcoming, Yelp, and other social networks”
— I mean… So? Your point being? Oh I get it, it’s a service to enable businesses without a real business plan to exchange data. How long before we have some kinda “Meta-Zude” site to enable a mashup of your pointless mashups?

Robert — It would be great if you had a feature on your site that was “What’s Scoble using now” (not what you are testing but rather the tools you are actually using day to day to do your job).
Ideally, those tools would be commercially available (hey — that could be part of your business model when you make recos on products…as long as we believe you haven’t been bought, it would be useful). I find that some of the tools that you and Jarvis talk about give me tech-envy but when it comes to being able to actually get them, it’s difficult to impossible. For example, I had a hard time finding how to get Jarvis’ “MoJo” setup. If your recommendation list also spoke to limitations in different countries with alternatives, it would be that much more useful.
I appreciate that you are a guinea pig and dogfood eater but it would be good to know what a normal person could get that you are using to do your job.
What do you say?!

@8. My bet he gets his email dumped into outlook. Uses Word and Excel. For actual productivity stuff. I’d bet my left nut he doesn’t use Zoho, thinkfree or GoogleDocs to write his fastcompany column. None of this stuff being written about enables people to make money or be more productive or have a better life. Now having NO LIFE; thats a different story

This mashup thing is beginning to sound like mixup thing…I’m sure too much of anything (even a darned good thing) is bad…
True, only those mashups that provide real value will rise to the top, but there is so much clutter out there, it looks like it will take a whole lot of time before the cream rises to the top.
It might be a good idea for someone to start tracking only really useful mashups…Robert is as good as any who can do it, but he seems to prefer spending his gigantic brains and his phenomenal brand value on mere trifles…talk of people not valuing there assets!
