It’s Not All About “US”
Our last two weeks have been a blur of small meetings, large gatherings, music, parties, various languages and accents, deep conversations and light discussions, new faces and old ones.
But now that we're back in the U.S. after hopping from Tel Aviv to Cannes, we’ve been thinking about the tunnel vision we all fall into at one time or another.

But is Microsoft’s tenacity — or its patience with M&A government scrutiny? — flagging?
Talking ‘On the Road — Again’
Imagine if you could ask your car about your meetings for the week. And it’d be a bonus if your car could make dinner reservations for friends that are visiting from another state.
Sure, a Google Assistant or Siri on a smartphone can handle some of those requests. But using mobile assistants is unwieldy when it comes to hands-free driving.??
Luckily, the promise of the in-car voice assistant is becoming a reality. It won’t be here in time for our road trip to the Berkshires, but consumers — especially millennials — are ready for it.?
The embrace of in-car voice technology is part of a larger evolution of the automotive industry. There’s the current acceleration of the electric car future and the eventual acceptance of autonomous vehicles.?
In the background is “the post-mobile future” that companies like Samsung are preparing for in the next decade.
