What do I think about Disney investing in the Magic Band, and the future of wearable tech in general? You know the answer. This is an interesting question because this is the kind of future that is inevitable. Smart, wearable technologies is going to eat up the world. Everything in the world will be smart. All of it. ALL of it. Your shirt. Your pants. Your underwear. Your socks. It's all coming over the next ten to twenty to thirty years.
It allows things that are physical to go so much further in the digital world. The layering and ammo that this gives Disney in that upfront investment is extraordinary. The recall, the content pushing out, the unlocking new virtual features - all of a sudden now, they have the ability to change the flow of the park. One of the things that I am most fascinated by right now as a retailer is efficiency. Efficiency everywhere. In an airport, an amusement park, or a retail store. Where do you know there are always going to be congested areas? Then, where are the places people just aren't going? Now imagine slapping some technology on a rock all the way in left field that requires people to go there. Now you're moving people there, making less lines. People are buying more food; even a fourth of a hot dog adds up to a lot.
Those are the things you need to be thinking about. The Apple Watch is going to be a game changer whether it is successful or not. I do have one on pre-order, and I think that buzzing on your body that saves you time (and you know how I feel about time) from looking at your phone is super huge. If it clicks the way the smartphone did, you'll start having people at scale with it. The watch.
Look at it for your business if you produce stuff. As an investor, I'm looking at companies getting involved in it.

    I'd be willing to live stream things I do everyday like driving to and from work maybe share with the world opinions on daily events idont know that is a challenging question.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Artof JoseVega says:

    QOTD Answer – well I dont have either meeerkat or periscope yet. But I usually have something live or recorded going on my second monitor or tablet as I work for background. i would say 40% of my time.

    All about this episode!

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Victoria Nicole says:

    Its been at least a year and the I watch isn't as popular at scale. I feel its going to to take at least another 2-3 years before the "wow" factor of it comes in.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph Lucido says:

    30 – 60 if it was useful information

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Erik Frankhouse says:

    QOTD Yep, I want to periscope while doing game design. 1-3 if it's something I can watch and I it's not something that I have to watch every week.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Elizabeth McCreight says:

    i haven't really become part of the live game yet. The thing I think about it is that it will have to be content that i value more than whatever i'm doing at the moment to remember to watch it at a certain time or to drop what i'm doing to watch it.
    if it's something i can watch on my own time then i would definitely consume it. I would also probably create live content but not really sure of anything beyond that

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Laurent Defevere says:

    I'am not a fan of meerkat and/or periscope not as practioner neither as listening/wachting.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robin Norgren says:

    meerkat and periscope – have not looked into either been kicking around the idea of spreecast just becuase I know others on that platform which gives me a leg up on how it works so I could integrate in less time than researching these two outlets.  Confession: even when I am on Youtube I am usually not watching, just listening but I like the option of clicking over from time to time.  So I probably "listen" about an hour a day depending on the topic

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Amy Cattaneo says:

    I would televise myself preparing my meals. I would spend anywhere from 10 to an hour depending on the content.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eddie Teran says:

    QOTD: I am considering doing a live show for massage on Snapchat, just feels very candid and personal. I would give an hour or two at most to watching live tv on periscope or meerkat.

    One piece of content away… I like that. Thanks for telling it like it is, talent matters.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Clinton Lu says:

    I would televise occasionally and most likely consume on a sporadic basis depending on what was on.
