"Wearables will turn our bodies into power sources"
At Birmingham City University on 18th March, Frank Golding, former Director, Google, will join BBC Future Media director Ralph Rivera and radio futurologist James Cridland at Rethink Media to discuss the technologies set to shape the digital media landscape.
Golding, who previously spent eight years working at ESPN, predicts that “video will be displayed on literally everything soon. TV sets of the future will be screenless frames through which holograms appear. We already have audio induction but I’m envisioning power induction next. By wearing a certain type of device, our entire bodies will be power sources which allow us to power very small devices remotely.”
Hosted by The Gadget Show’s Jason Bradbury, other speakers at this year’s event include vloggers Lily Pebbles and Anna Gardner, who both draw in over 1m video views to their YouTube channels each month.
Rahul Chakkara, director of digital at Talk Talk, will also address the issue of future digital trends.
Rethink Media 2015 forms part of Birmingham Digital Week, a week-long series of events highlighting Birmingham’s burgeoning digital sector.
