Conversational User Interfaces

Hi! My name is Bart.

I work for digital agency

Find me on : @netlash.

Let’s start with a story.

Digital.

Digital. It’s not about e-commerce or websites or technology.

Digital. It’s not about e-commerce or websites or technology. It’s about changed behaviour.

First we change technology.

Then technology changes us.

Let’s start with a story.

I worked at a bank end of the 90’s.

I worked at a bank end of the 90’s.

Do you remember the 90’s?We still used these:

I worked at a bank end of the 90’s.

I had to visit lots of clients in unknown places.

Do you remember the 90’s?We still used these:

Remember these?

I prepared the night before by printing out lots of route descriptions.

Now I have this.

I don’t even think about preparing anymore. The information comes to me, frictionless, the moment I need it.

Now I have this.

My behaviour changed. Induced by technology, I changed the way I prepare for driving.

ICT =

Information and

Communications

Technology

Emphasis on Information & Communication, not on Tech.

The revolution is in I & C, not in T.

Information is always, anywhere and frictionless available.

Remember how we used to plan ‚going out’ in the 80’s? Weeks ahead.

Now we have this.

We don’t plan anymore.

Connectivity is always, anywhere and frictionless available.

First we change technology. Then technology changes us.

Information is always, anywhere and frictionless available.

Behaviour change.

Another story.

I had to buy a washing machine.

When I left school, I rented an apartment to live with my girlfriend.
