Beyond the Handset: Evolving from Mobile Devices to the Ubiquitous Digital Life

Imagined as the third in a series of talks on the evolving mobile experience, I will focus on the evolution of the mobile device from the original mobile phone to what it is ultimately becoming- a digital extension of ourselves. This change promises to have profound effects on ourselves, our relationships, and society. I will focus on these emerging questions: What does knowledge mean if it is shared between our minds and a computer we keep with us? How do we define ourselves as our lives and our defined "self" is increasingly divided between real-life and digital worlds?

I will also share my own more near-term market insights on where current companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google are providing early signs of this evolution and how they might evolve towards this future vision.
