Masterclass: James Whittaker Microsoft: Future of Technology Apps

The Future of Technology Apps

Cumbria Forum invites you to join Microsoft Distinguished Engineer James Whittaker for an entertaining and thought provoking jaunt into the future - a future that is coming a lot faster than most people imagine.

The Internet of Things will ultimately mean more Internet traffic generated and consumed by machines than by humans. Machines are learning our habits faster than we can form them. What does this mean for the future? How will we interact with our devices when they are as smart or smarter than we are? How will anyone manage to make money in this coming world?

Learn:

• How the PC, web and mobile eras took us to where we are today and why we are currently in an era of extreme disruption by machines
• Understand the technologies that the future will be built on: big data, invisible UI, augmented reality and intelligent machines
• Envision how the future will unfold as machines displace the web and mobile fundamentally change the way work gets done
