Jared Ficklin is a designer and technologist with two decades of experience creating products and visions for major companies. An innovator by nature, he is always exploring new means for technological interaction and has a passion for unique interaction models—especially those involving interesting inputs and outputs like touch, multi-touch, voice, gesture, sensing, and projection. His philosophy is "Think by Making, Deliver by Demo", and he employs user experience simulation as a method for quickly bringing products to life.
Jared spent 14 years of his career at frog design contributing to the visions, strategy, intellectual property, and products of clients including HP, Microsoft, AT&T, LG, SanDisk, and Motorola. His work integrating technology into the design process at frog led him to be named one of 4 frog fellows.
Jared is an evangelist and co-creator of the cable car-based mass transport vision known as The Wire, and was the first to bring live fire to the TED stage. He speaks internationally as a creative technologist and futurist.
The real-time internet is where computing is headed and it's gonna be experienced radically different. It's gonna be as big of a sea change as 2007 when the iPhone was released and we all converted to handheld mobile computing as opposed to two-foot desktop computing.

We are actually in the midst of a technological sea change of the likes of which we haven’t seen for a few decades now. People like to believe technology moves along evenly on a constant, but actually, it bolts ahead at time, and right now one of them is the world of AI that's based on very large training set models.
A second is we're about to have a few new devices, robots and wearable mobile computers, which allows us to use computing to amplify in moments where we need to be heads up and present. When these things come together, it creates a whole new computing landscape. You could call it, and we would, the real-time internet.
