What Will Be The Gadgets You Are Carrying in 2015?

Voting Deadline: Midnight, Friday August 27th

Its that time of year again where SXSW posts the ideas for this years speaker/panel topics and asks for people to vote.  The panel that have been proposed for me to talk to is:

Hacking The Future

Can you predict what the future will look like in 5 to 10 years? Hacking the future requires the ability to dream, to visualize and the ability to connect the impossible with the possible. In this session, Phil McKinney will make some bold predictions for the future – backed up with a number of breakthrough prototypes. This session is a futurist's view of the world that will surprise and alarm you.

Your Chance To Contribute

I and my innovation team are hard at work on our annual project of conceiving and  building out the library of prototypes for what technology will look like 5 to 10 years in the future.  Traditionally, we keep these for internal use and inspiration.  If we get enough votes and are asked to present at SXSW, then we will show our work and open up the project for your input and contribution.  So if you would like to see and contribute to what the technology in 2015 will look like, then vote! (even if your not planning to attend SXSW as we will post the work so you can comment and contribute).
