Augmented reality - new generation of apps - combines internet
Nearest tube - subway
Twit around
Facial recognition
Retina - for color blind
Google voice - option 2 let's you make a call

Things won't go away they just splinter and both thrive

How does this effect the next generation?

Take back the beep -
Kids today don't do voicemail or email - they want realtime. The new normal is multitasking and on demand

Hulu.com - on demand tv

Privacy - kids don't care

Twitter - a different kind of population - average age 35 - average income 75,000

Book - the world according to twitter

Technology is changing faster than ever - it's like drinking from a fire hose

The pit is always smaller than the plum
