Story on the evolution of the mobile ecosystem.

1. THE MOBILE ECOSYSTEM
Just another evolutionary story.

2. Not that long ago…
We talked about a computer.
It filled an entire room.

3. But pretty soon came the PC.
First in the offices.
And consequently at home.

4. And they became portable
First to support mobile co-workers likes sales
representatives.
And consequently at home.
It still wasn’t good enough to work on the couch.

5. So then came the Smartphone
Which was actually not a computer…
But had the guts to act as one for people at home.

6. Tablets were next up.
Who are very comfy on the couch.

7. SOME SORT OF MOBILE ECOSYSTEM EVOLVED
It impacts life, it impacts business, it impacts politics, it impacts everything.

8. App stores all over.
Was only step 1 for the ecosystem to develop.

9. Social media apps in the stores
Allowed people to connect on the go.

10. Interconnected people
Was the second step that contributed to the mobile
ecosystem.

11. INTERCONNECTED PEOPLE IMPACTED THE WORLD
To say the least.

12. The mobile ecosystem impact
Arab Spring revolution

13. The mobile ecosystem impact
Help & support when disaster strikes at Pukkelpop.

14. The mobile ecosystem impact
Weinergate: it’s my dick in a tweet.

15. IMPACT INTERCONNECTED PEOPLE PROVEN?
What’s next?

16. A GUESS:
INTERCONNECTED OBJECTS
To integrate in the current mobile ecosystem.

17. The Internet of Things.
Interconnected objects might be the next big thing
to integrate in the mobile ecosystem.
Experts don’t call it mobile anymore but the
Internet of Things.
I believe both are about to come together.

18. The Intelligent Fridge
Innovative packaging in combination with a
smarfridge could go a long way.
Auto-ordering, recipe integration,…
The dietist of the future might be your next fridge.

19. The Intelligent Doorknob
Imagine an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ doorknob…
A doorknob that can see, listen and speak…
He spots me with a large shopping bag and
intelligently and politely opens the door for me.

20. IMPACT?
Pretty sure it will have an impact on life.

21. IS THIS NEAR FUTURE?
Yes and No.

22. AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND
We’re working very hard to get there.
The following technologies might play an important role…

23. QR, AUGMENTED PRINT, NFC …
To bring the future integration
of interconnected people with interconnected objects ?

24. READY FOR THE MOBILE FUTURE?
Or do you want to discuss that mobile future with me?
