Jeremy White on Digital Transformation

In this video, executive editor of Wired Magazine, Jeremy White, shares a keynote on AI, messaging apps, and product transformation. He takes a look at the most popular messaging app in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand, Line. It is similar to Whats App and Facebook Messenger, but some of its features set it apart for the people using it, such as virtual stickers, cartoon-like characters, animated emojis and games, and mascots. Through the app you can make video calls, stream music, and even order taxis. Other companies are taking cues from apps like these. The thing that differentiates Line is that it subsumes other services into its app rather than making you go to other apps within it.
