We’ve shared a lot of data about whether and why ‘this time is different’. But beyond that, why is the tech market opportunity larger than any time in history (no, really!)? One word: mobile.
In this update of his past presentation on Mobile Eating the World — delivered this month at Andreessen Horowitz’ annual investor meeting — a16z’s Benedict Evans shares just how and why mobile changes everything. Because tech is outgrowing the tech industry.
Why do business platforms beat products every time? This is my keynote at EMERCE eDay. We cover changes in global brands, how feedback effects work, how innovation is different, and examples of coming platforms.
As NFT projects continue to pop up and censorship woes become a reality, decentralized storage has become a beacon of hope for many. Let’s check out how much the decentralized storage sector has grown!
When working with big data or complex algorithms, we often look to parallelize our code to optimize runtime. By taking advantage of a GPUs 1000+ cores, a data scientist can quickly scale out solutions inexpensively and sometime more quickly than using traditional CPU cluster computing. In this webinar, we will present ways to incorporate GPU computing to complete computationally intensive tasks in both Python and R.

The Ultimate Potential of VR: Promises & Perils - Kent Bye SXSWKent Bye
Bye, K. (2023, March 12). The Ultimate Potential of VR: Promises & Perils. [Featured Session Presentation]. South by Southwest Festival, Austin, Texas, United States; Austin Convention Center, Room 16AB
Voices of VR podcast host Kent Bye has been asking thousands of virtual reality creators "What is the ultimate potential of VR?" for over 8 years now, and he will be sharing some of the best answers that map out the future of spatial computing, immersive storytelling, and experiential design. He will also share how VR is catalyzing an interdisciplinary fusion of design processes from video games, filmmaking, HCI, social media, theatre, architecture, and new modes of multi-sensory design. VR also presents unique tech ethics challenges around privacy, accessibility, conduct moderation, etc., that will potentially require new laws or tech architectures. This session will set a broad context for some of the promises and perils of this new medium while also providing a glimmer for what's to come.
Today, I will be presenting on the topic of
"Generative AI, responsible innovation, and the law."
Artificial Intelligence has been making rapid strides in recent years,
and its applications are becoming increasingly diverse.
Generative AI, in particular, has emerged as a promising area of innovation, the potential to create highly realistic and compelling outputs.

Everything has already been said about Uber. Or has it? Both fascinating and repulsive, closely watched by the media and politicians, the Californian unicorn’s growth model hasn’t been spared any sort of criticism.
And yet, valued at $68 billion, the firm mesmerizes VCs as never seen before and inspires every week countless articles, op-eds, infographics and columns – not including numerous bills… It’s because, just like the whole digital revolution, Uber questions every habit, system, model and belief.
In order to go beyond these debates, FABERNOVEL offers an analysis devoid of any political or ideological consideration, a study to understand Uber’s growth model – that we see as viral – and to delve as much as possible into its success factors.

There is no point in drawing a distinction between the future of technology and the future of mobile. They are the same. In other words, technology is now outgrowing the tech industry.
by Benedict Evans. Please see this link for full description, slides, AND version with talk track: http://a16z.com/2016/12/09/mobile-is-eating-the-world-outlook-2017/
Network effects. It’s one of the most important concepts for business in general and especially for tech businesses, as it’s the key dynamic behind many successful software-based companies. Understanding network effects not only helps build better products, but it helps build moats and protect software companies against competitors’ eating away at their margins.
Yet what IS a network effect? How do we untangle the nuances of 'network effects' with 'marketplaces' and 'platforms'? What’s the difference between network effects, virality, supply-side economies of scale? And how do we know a company has network effects?
Most importantly, what questions can entrepreneurs and product managers ask to counter the wishful thinking and sometimes faulty assumption behind the belief that “if we build it, they will come” … and instead go about more deterministically creating network effects in their business? Because it's not a winner-take-all market by accident.
Looking to scale something up? Depending on how you're going after your market/ acquiring users, you may need to build a sales organization that's optimized for a top-down or bottom-up sales process (or perhaps both).
Watch the video overview at http://a16z.com/2015/03/06/go-to-market-bootcamp/ and then check out this slide deck, which shares some concrete tips and tools for accelerating time to market -- from the go-to-market experts at a16z, led by 'sales savant' Mark Cranney.
Because selling to enterprises is a lot like getting a bill passed through Congress: it can get stuck. And getting stuck -- or going down the wrong path -- can mean death to startups in a competitive market. Here's how to avoid that.
In this update of his past presentations on Mobile Eating the World -- delivered most recently at The Guardian's Changing Media Summit -- a16z’s Benedict Evans takes us through how technology is universal through mobile. How mobile is not a subset of the internet anymore. And how mobile (and accompanying trends of cloud and AI) is also driving new productivity tools.
In fact, mobile -- which encompasses everything from drones to cars -- is everything.
Publishers today need to have a sharp focus on mobile or be run over by it. Business Insider's president Julie Hansen presents a case study on the ways BI has embraced mobile and how editorial and advertising are evolving with the rise of consuming content via phone or tablet.

Emerging Technology, Shiny Objects & The Future of Media - iSummit - Fred SteubeFred Steube
The rapid pace of digital innovation has media companies scrambling to figure out which new emerging technology will be a hit with consumers and how to reach these consumers on these many new channels. Traditional media like print, TV, radio, and outdoor media will need to take advantage of wearables, beacons, digital wallets, augmented reality, etc and will have to respond to disruptive technology to remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic business landscape.

Global Trend Forecast Report: Technology, Media & Telecoms
by CM Research
This report is an extract from the fourth edition of our Global TMT Trend Forecast series, originally published on 16 July 2014. In it, we identify the major disruptive technologies that we will see in 2014/15 and predict how they will impact the world’s largest technology, media and telecom (TMT) companies.
There is a huge cultural shift taking place. For the last 10 years, since 2000 we have experienced how everything is getting digital. The mobile phone is today just as powerful as a desktop computer in 2000. We have all this power in our pocket.

Companies that buy technology
Tech has become part of
every office
Like plants, tech is part
of facilities
But is the business built
around it?

Building companies around new technology
The really important new businesses are native to new technologies

Mobile scale allows far more Amazons
Most tech is bought and paid for,
not used to create new businesses
10 years ago, AirBnB would have
sold software to Hilton
Uber would have sold software to
taxi companies
Scale of mobile, software mean the
opportunity is vastly bigger
More and more companies
following Amazon, Uber, AirBnB to
disrupt existing industries with tech
