Since I was hyping ubiquitous computing and internet of things stuff so much, I want to add one more point that I missed during my talk. I wanted to say that we’ve known for 10-15 years that “the internet is the future”, and we’ve known for 2-5 years that “mobile is the future” – but now they both are already the “present”. There’s a lot of work to be done there still, of course, but they are not the “future” anymore. If you want to be pro-actively building the future, and not just reacting to present, I suggest you start looking into ubiquitous computing, post-digital and augmented reality sort of things.
May this recap presentation inspire you on that path.
