  • As personal digital assistant apps such as Google Now become widespread, so does the idea of algorithms that can not only meet but anticipate our needs
  • eBay lets you shop at only one store at a time and promises delivery “in about an hour,” while Google lets you shop at multiple stores and pick your own delivery time window.
  • customers won’t be ordering stuff from eBay anymore. Instead, they’ll let their phones do it.

  • “Ambient commerce is about consumers turning over their trust to the machine,” Sheldon says
  • Between what these companies know about our interests, our friends, our whereabouts, our purchases, and anything else we’re willing to feed them, whether by email, Twitter, Facebook, GPS, or credit card, they probably should have a very good idea of what we want and when and where we want it.

  • High-profile mobile money launches by Apple and Samsung may have caught the headlines
  • But it is the developments in payments systems in supposedly less developed nations in Africa and Asia that point the way to the probable future for wider mobile banking.
  • the reality remains that the mobile phone as a means of payment remains relatively niche even in developed markets.

  • But analysts anticipate a further shift as more financial services and greater interactivity are added, which is when mobile payments will become mobile banking.
  • In the UK, for example, just 1 per cent
  • the mobile phone is taking on extra roles as a place to keep money safe and move it around, as well as to acquire other financial services from trusted providers.
  • services are quickly expanding to include loan disbursement, bill payment and micro insurance.
  • In the next few years mobile banking apps will become the predominant means to access all routine banking services, from applying for a loan or overdraft increase to letting the bank know you are moving house
  • So while we are working closely with digital giants such as Apple, Samsung and Google to roll out their payment services, we’re also working with the banks to create their own payment functionality embedded within their existing hugely popular banking apps

    The article is about a shifting consumer behaviour in mobile payments and that it's not driven by developed economies with the established finical systems but rather by the emerging regions, like Africa and Asia

  • From staff-free ticket offices to students who can learn online, it seems there is no corner of economic life in which people are not being replaced by machines.
  • One of the reasons Google is investing so much is that whoever owns the communications system for driverless cars will own the 21st century's equivalent of the telephone network or money clearing system: this will be a licence to print money.
  • The only new jobs will be in the design and marketing of the cars, and in writing the computer software that will allow them to navigate their journeys, along with the apps for our mobile phones that will help us to use them better

  • The invention of 3D printing, in which every home or office will be equipped with an in-house printer that can spew out the goods we want – from shoes to pills – anticipates a world of what Summers calls automated "doers". They will do everything for us, eliminating the need for much work.
  • we have come to the end of the great "general purpose technologies" (technologies that transform an entire economy, such as the steam engine, electricity, the car and so on) that changed the world. There are no new transformative technologies to carry us forward, while the old activities are being robotised and automated.
  • The second is in human wellbeing. There will be vast growth in advising, coaching, caring, mentoring, doctoring, nursing, teaching and generally enhancing capabilities.
  • Notwithstanding robotisation and automation, I identify four broad areas in which there will be vast job opportunities.The first is in micro-production
  • The third is in addressing the globe's "wicked issues" . There will be new forms of nutrition and carbon-efficient energy, along with economising with water, to meet the demands of a world population of 9 billion in 2050.
  • And fourthly, digital and big data management will foster whole new industries
  • the truth is, nobody knows. What we do know is that two-thirds of what we consume today was not invented 25 years ago. It will be the same again in a generation's time

  • Google is working to create a new product in the home services market
  • Calif.-based technology giant is working on an offering through its ads team that will allow customers to connect with roofers and repairmen and put it in direct competition with Thumbtack and Amazon.com
  • As Buzzfeed reported, there will likely be some integration with Google Ad Words, which will likely create targeted ads for users searching for certain services that will allow them to receive direct quotes.

  • This isn’t the first time that Google’s investing has created a possible conflict of interest. In February, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Google was developing an Uber competitor in anticipation of the launch of its self-driving cars. The search company, through its venture capital arm Google Ventures, had previously invested $258 million in the ride-sharing service in Aug. 2013, with Google chief legal officer David Drummond taking an Uber board seat
  • Google is extremely wary of the expansion of the vertically-integrated tech giants into other spaces, said sources, and it’s not staying still with Amazon announcing its entry into a local services market that some experts estimate does more than $400 billion in business every year.

    It's anticipated that in 2021 the penetration of VR among US citizens will rise from 10.6% in 2018 to 17% from 10.6% , AR - from 18.2% to 25.4% respectively. Many industry practitioners believe that AR experiences will migrate from mobile devices to HMDs or glasses within the next five years, especially if major technical challenges-including battery life, continuous network connectivity, a viable app distribution system and cultural acceptability-can be overcome.
