Last Friday I had the very great pleasure of attending the Google IO extended presentation organised by Dhruv Valera. Dhruv put on a great event and there was a lot of interesting conversation forthcoming afterwards (along with a slight hangover). I found the content of what Google is doing absolutely fascinating, especially the concept of moving from a mobile first to an AI first approach. But the one thing that was missing was a coherent idea of what the future will look like. Google is making staggering progress, but it is incremental progress on where we are now, and I like to think the other way. Where do we want to end up, and how do we get there.
