We need you to bridge the future gap…

Lifts…
Tablet computers…
Synchronisation with central servers / cloud (it was in space, so no clouds, duh)
Glasses enabling blind people to “see” their environment?
Voice and intent recognition?
Localising people?
Most of these are common now!
We live in a time of amazing technology and people don’t even realise it any longer.🏁
This wasn’t always the case…🔩
Lift attendants…

Whilst we use technology, people are also afraid of it and its implications on our world, especially our jobs…😨
So it is up to us to be good lift attendants and bring the benefits of technology to people…📡
And it is incredibly important that we do so in a transparent, trustworthy and simple to access manner…😃
In other words…🤔
Not as apps that lock people in or expect them to have a certain hardware.🔒
The closed app honeymoon is over…📉 http://www.recode.net/2016/6/8/11883518/app-boom-over-snapchat-uber

Stop throwing logs in the way of your users…
All technology in the non-dystopian future is ubiquitous…🔓
For longterm sustainability and interest, your solutions should be services and tie in with what people already use.
🖇
A huge service of that is and will still be the web.🌎

📚 Homework: Progressive Web Apps
Another big market is chat systems.💬
In any case, users have high demands to apps these days.💎
Demands on intelligent apps…
🍒Personalized, friendly, approachable, natural✅ Facial recognition, emotion detection ✅ Text and speech interactions ✅ 360 awareness of the user
Demands on intelligent apps…
⏱Predictive, current, and familiar✅ Changes in real-time based on user action and
new external data ✅ Predictive models based on user context to
anticipate actions
Demands on intelligent apps…
🔋Always available, always contextual✅ Robust information management required ✅ Experiences delivered across all form factors and a
wide variety of interaction models (e.g. touch, speech, text)
✅ Distributed support, massive scale, elasticity
Yes, that is a lot to cover…😳
The great news is that you can use services to help you with that.😅
Every big player in computing has machine learning services for you to tap into…🕹
