Jon Swartz is a veteran
technology reporter based in
Silicon Valley currently covering emerging and disruptive tech at
USA Today. This is the
second time he's been invited to Revolution. His take on news trends is less about hype and more about how technology impacts everyday business and society. Sometimes technology is the solution as much as it is part of the problem. For consumers, the ability to use mobile, social and the web is not only enlivening real-time experiences, it’s also delivering immediacy to e-commerce and social commerce.
On this
episode, Jon explores the importance of “the urgency of now” and how its changing the landscape for commerce. From shopping to how we pay for what we want, and the technology that changes customer expectations along the way,
businesses must now evaluate how to adapt to not only react but lead customer experiences before they fall to
digital darwinism.
