The Future Isn’t RealBreaking through the barriers that limit your imagination.

Page 3: The Future Isn't Real

Early Prototype of Google Glass?

Page 4: The Future Isn't Real

Anything is possible in your imagined future.

Page 5: The Future Isn't Real

Why?

Lots of conversations with people about technical limitations

Page 6: The Future Isn't Real

Why?

We don’t dream big anymore,partly because we don’t have the

time or resources to do so

Page 7: The Future Isn't Real

Why?

If we do dream big, there’s lots of criticism of our “unrealistic” ideas

Page 8: The Future Isn't Real

“I can't imagine that would be easy to do.We should probably find another way to do it.”

Page 9: The Future Isn't Real

“Your developers will hate you if you ask them to implement such a thing…”

Page 10: The Future Isn't Real

“How in the world would this be done?LOL this will never fly.”

Page 11: The Future Isn't Real

It won’t fly with that attitude.

Page 12: The Future Isn't Real

Why do we respond this way?

We’re great at finding solutionsto current problems and getting things done

Page 13: The Future Isn't Real

Why do we respond this way?

We have a hard time breaking awayfrom popular trends and technology limitations

Page 14: The Future Isn't Real

Why do we respond this way?

We find blank canvases, empty pages, and radical ideas deeply frightening

Page 15: The Future Isn't Real
Page 16: The Future Isn't Real
Page 17: The Future Isn't Real
Page 18: The Future Isn't Real
Page 19: The Future Isn't Real
Page 20: The Future Isn't Real

It hasn’t always been that way.

Page 21: The Future Isn't Real

A view of the Future, from the Past

Old Definition Of Invention:

Page 27: The Future Isn't Real

“An act or instance of creating or producing by exercise of the

imagination…”

“To originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity,

experimentation…”

“To make up or fabricate (something fictitious or false)”

Page 28: The Future Isn't Real

“An act or instance of creating or producing by exercise of the

imagination…”

“To originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity,

experimentation…”

“To make up or fabricate (something fictitious or false)”

Page 29: The Future Isn't Real

Modern Definition of Invention:

Page 30: The Future Isn't Real

Mashup. Evolve.

Page 31: The Future Isn't Real

Remix. Retweet.

Page 32: The Future Isn't Real

Fork.

Page 33: The Future Isn't Real

A History Of Invention…

Page 34: The Future Isn't Real

What have we been doing?

What’s Filling This

Space?

Page 35: The Future Isn't Real

We’ve Been Creating Content & Software:

Page 36: The Future Isn't Real

And YouTube…

1990 2014

Page 38: The Future Isn't Real

Did we invent all the big ideas already?

Page 39: The Future Isn't Real

“The way some pessimists put it is that all the low-hanging fruit has been picked. I would argue

that there was never any low-hanging fruit; it was always of intermediate height and the question

was, were people reaching for it or not?

I’m frustrated because I think technology is progressing slowly, but I’m optimistic because I

think it could be going a lot better.”

Peter Thiel, Founder of PayPal /

Future Technology Investor On September 18th, 2014

Technology Stalled In 1970

Page 40: The Future Isn't Real

The future needs new & better ideas that are not

tied to the past’s limitations.

Page 41: The Future Isn't Real

It’s hard to start a revolution — failure is hard, people

might not be interested, & evolution is easier to fund.

Page 42: The Future Isn't Real

“[Are computers] really significant or is it simply a novelty? The

Macintosh has been called “the world’s most expensive Etch A Sketch” by at least one critic.”

A Statement Put To Steve Jobs InA February 1985 Magazine Interview:

Page 43: The Future Isn't Real

There are real limitations in engineering, technology,

and culture.

Page 44: The Future Isn't Real

“The number of transistors incorporated in a chip willapproximately double every 24 months”

Moore’s Law, 1965:

Page 45: The Future Isn't Real

“I pick about 2020 as the earliest we could call Moore's Law dead.”

— DARPA Director & Pentium Processor Architect, Robert Colwell In 2013

Page 46: The Future Isn't Real

So…

Page 47: The Future Isn't Real

…how do weinvent the future?

Page 48: The Future Isn't Real

#0. Find A Safe PlaceTo Think, Brainstorm,

Dream, & Create.

Page 49: The Future Isn't Real
Page 50: The Future Isn't Real
Page 51: The Future Isn't Real
Page 52: The Future Isn't Real
Page 53: The Future Isn't Real

#1. Scrap Everything.Anything Is Possible.

Page 54: The Future Isn't Real
Page 55: The Future Isn't Real
Page 56: The Future Isn't Real

#2. Use Your Imagination. Think Of An Ideal World.

Page 57: The Future Isn't Real
Page 58: The Future Isn't Real

#3. Take That Ideal World, And Work Backwards.

Page 59: The Future Isn't Real
Page 60: The Future Isn't Real

#3. Take That Ideal World, And Reverse Engineer It.

Page 61: The Future Isn't Real

Ask questions like… How? What? When? Where? Why? Who?

Page 62: The Future Isn't Real

What resources and technology would you need

to get this done?

Page 63: The Future Isn't Real

What might be the barriers to adoption of this idea?

Page 64: The Future Isn't Real

Think beyond just graphical user interfaces and apps.

Page 65: The Future Isn't Real

Deconstruct that Ideal World. What makes it tick?

Page 66: The Future Isn't Real

Sketch some ideas.Make some prototypes.

Page 67: The Future Isn't Real

Page 73: The Future Isn't Real

#4. It’s Going To Take Commitment, Passion, Risk

Taking, & A Great Team.

Page 74: The Future Isn't Real
Page 75: The Future Isn't Real

An Experiment…

Page 76: The Future Isn't Real

Experiment Setup:

Find a team

Anything is possible, there is no spoon

Find a problem you have

Imagine a perfect, ideal solution

Take notes, make a sketch

Present your ideal Future
