A presentation with great pieces of thinking, I would like to point out a couple of things:

- Hopefully one of my everyday dreams is going to come true in some years, "having a morning nap during your daily car trip" is something that currently only can fullfill when I do car pool but Google says that by 2017 Democratization of Self-Driving cars will be a fact so #goodnews :) The slide said "We lose control of our cars" but I will add "We take control of our car-time".

- Computers are dissolving, into the cloud, the environment and into our bodies...and will keep getting invisible kind of a reality camouflage to reduce frictions and get integrated into a Humanized context.

- I really liked the thinking about making the most of  Sandy's effect to move forward tech innovation energy & storage, definetely technology & data will help to provide better solutions to fight coming Nature disasters.

- Not new but privacy concerns will increase, Jan Chipchase talks about "the loss of physical Anonymity" due to the next impact of facial recognition everywhere (regarding this have a look to UID, the biometric identification project that India's goverment is implementing) that obviously brings positive and negative effects, but I'm sure that will bring a more relevant Economy of Privacy. Currently people have started to be aware of the value of their data in the social sharing economy but make it visible by using so much facial recognition tech will make more people feel an invasive perception. Probably will be trigger the rise of this new value exchange market. Regarding this was my wish for 2012 

Finally, positive surprise to know that Intel had put Will.I.am as director of creative innovation :) well done Intel.

Wed, 11 Jul 2012 16:01:00 -0700 ACID HOUSE MEETS BREAKDANCE - celebrating automatizated happiness http://luismiranda.posterous.com/acid-house-meets-breakdance http://luismiranda.posterous.com/acid-house-meets-breakdance

I don't know if you feel this but to me, the word "right" is more & more important, the right time , the right content based on your interest graph, the right size of interaction ,...

Latest years there's a lot of conversation about the importance of Context, and nowadays more than ever and thanks to technology, there's no doubt that it is bringing a new understanding of the new value exchange cycle between people & brands. Faris recently made a http://farisyakob.typepad.com/blog/2012/07/welcome-to-the-contextual-age.html">good point about it 

I'm personally very excited on what's coming when we mix time, location, interests through technology & data. I would like to see the rise of the Economy of Privacy, as more people are aware of the value of their data, obviously we will see more often the word SECURITY measures (Cloud will help) , let's see how the consumer adopt the neccesary new standardad of trust into the cloud & mobile storage.

In the past I've talked about the change from positioning to "social" positioning in the past, in consumer's words, brand propositions should be look for how to make people's lives happier" (a smiley face came to my mind)

Sounds weird but with all the inputs about Automatization & Robots in my head, and my recent readings about connected contexts, mobile geo fences...etc...it seems like what's coming is something like help to understand behaviors in order to deliver the right automatizated happiness (based sometimes in efficiency, interests, ...) and I coulndn't avoid to think in a big Smiley face dancing breakdance.

(disclaimer: this is the effect of reading too much under a very hot sun)

It seems like Smiley faces win below :P
