The Way The World Communicates Just Changed – Have You?

  • Chris Smith, Chief Evangelist, & Contributing Editor, InmanNext, Inman News, @Chris_Smth and @InmanNext

Every single aspect of our lives is being impacted by technology.

Unfortunately this has left a lot of Realtors scrambling, playing Checkers when the game is now Chess.

Our pictures are now being taken with apps like Instagram on our phones and shared immediately, not with our cameras which lack wifi. Our interests and hobbies are being shared on sites like Pinterest, not our vision boards of days past. Path is forcing us to rethink the social web and which connections really matter by limiting the number of connections. We no longer make phone calls we use Voxer. Languages from other countries are instantly translated with World Lens. Google Currents allows everyone to become a media company for no cost.

Excited? We are!

During the opening session at Agent Reboot, Inman News Chief Evangelist Chris Smith will share which technologies are here, which technologies are coming and which technologies will make your business better in 2012.
