as Nokia did not see Apple coming..
what is Google’s blindspot?

58. G L A S S E F F E C T
there is one weak spot
58

59. G L A S S E F F E C T 59
Google does not like hardware..
trying to „capture” the market through the OS layer..

60. G L A S S E F F E C T 60
but in 2016 it is not about the
traditional OS on the hardware..
!
hardware by then has evolved
beyond the OS level into smart agents
interacting with the cloud

61. G L A S S E F F E C T 61
the 2016 king of hardware will be the company that
has the distribution capabilities to bring sensors to billions.
.. and it’s hardware will be wearable and have a
simple AI onboard

62. G L A S S E F F E C T 62

.. if Samsung owns AI technology before 2016
they can break Google’s lucky streak
