IWCE keynote speaker encourages attendees to say ‘Yes’ to innovation
Burrus also offered his predictions for the next five years.
“In the next five years, we are going to not change but transform how we market, how we sell, how we communicate, how we collaborate, how we innovate, how we train, how we educate,” he said. “If you’re just changing those things, then you’re falling behind.”
Some prognostications from Burrus included:
– Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) will become Wear Your Own Device (WYOD). Devices like Google Glass create future possibilities for police and fire, he said.
– Intelligent E-Agents, like Siri, will become more advanced and lead to a new radio system and a smart phone that is screenless, giving your battery a break.
– Smart Glass – a smart phone without all the hardware – will be developed. This could come in the form of a nano spray that’s used to create a display surface.
– 3D Web browsers.
– The gamification of education and training. “Right now, all of our training systems are boring. What if they weren’t? What if they were interactive? What they were competitive? What if they were game-like? What if they were engaging? What if they actually had humor built into them? They will.”
