“Take a sales person walking into a client’s office; they might be able to access instant information in front of their eyes. ‘What was the last order this company placed? Are they happy with us?’ Even ‘when was the client’s last birthday?’ ” he says.

“I’m not saying we should dumb down the individual but instead give them the kit to access information when they want to,” he says.
“This is about improving our ability to engage with our surroundings.”
