things about which I will speak
• a princess
• some numbers
• a couple of devices
• a few interfaces
• the future
“When we were an agrarian nation, all cars were trucks. But
as people moved more towards urban centers, people
started to get into cars.”
once upon a time...
there was a princess...
the princess loved books
but the princess also loved computers
all sorts of computers
her media is everywhere
and her concept of a computer is different than yours

By “wearable computing” I mean mobile computing where both computer-generated graphics and the real world are seamlessly overlaid in your view; there is no separate display that you hold in your hands (think Terminator vision). The underlying trend as we’ve gone from desktops through laptops and notebooks to tablets is one of having computing available in more places, more of the time.
no separate display
The logical endpoint is computing everywhere, all the time – that is, wearable computing – and I have no doubt that 20 years from now that will be standard, probably through glasses or contacts, but for all I know through some kind of more direct neural connection.
computing everywhere, all the time
And I’m pretty confident that platform shift will happen a lot sooner than 20 years – almost certainly within 10, but quite likely as little as 3-5, because the key areas – input, processing/power/size, and output – that need to evolve to enable wearable computing are shaping up nicely, although there’s a lot still to be figured out.

look outside ourselves
mobile first
web, not apps

prepare for the data flood
insert inspirational quotes here
Douglas Adams said...1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is
normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
If I'd asked them what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse.
-- Henry Ford
It isn’t the consumer’s job to know what they want.
- Steve Jobs
The best way to predict the future
is to create it.-Peter Drucker
