Question for you, is you
talk a lot about the use of Twitter Native Video
and I can personally say I’ve seen a lot of really
great results with engagement. It almost got my reamped about using the Twitter platform again. You foresee this type of
video response funtionality being built in natively
in some of the more common email clients anytime in the near future? Would this be practical
for someone like you who travels a lot and who has
a lot of mass email volume to go through? Would love to hear your
thoughts, thanks for your time. – Travis, way to keep it tight. He like went Bone Thugs on that. (laughs) Real fast. I watched Straight Out
Of Compton last night. – [Staphon] That was good. – Oh my god, I loved it. Loved it. (sighs) What I think is really interesting on that is I made, (laughs) I wish Erik
Kastner was here right now. Let’s show Kastner’s
Twitter profile @kastner. K-A-S-T-N-E-R Erik was the developer
that sat right next to me that helped me build up WineLibrary.com And I made a prediction to him in 2004 or five or six or seven that all email would be video in five to seven years. I’m glad we weren’t doing the
Ask #GaryVeeShow back then ’cause boy that highlight– The lowlights of this show, by the way, I can’t wait for the
lowlights in a couple years of all my wrong things in this ’cause those are fun too. (laughs) Not really. I think the answer’s no. I think that what people don’t realize is most people don’t want to be on camera. And this is a really interesting thing. Now, what’s happening right now with everybody growing
up in selfie culture and all these 15, 14, 13 year
olds just owning this move. I do think that behavior’s changing. And I do think that video’s upside over a 15 to 30 year period, 15 to 30 years from now, 15 through 30 years from now is very high because I think
we’re training youngsters, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, to be more out. (phone dings) To be more in front of the camera, it’s not this kind of thing anymore. I’m bullish on the concept. I do think email is ripe for a change in the next generation. I think, you know, Gmail’s gotten heavy, it started off lighter. I think there’s some real opportunity. I do think when you look at Slack and how people use that in
companies to communicate, I think a version of texting,
Twitter video and email, the Frankenstein of that,
eight, nine years from now has a real shot. And then there’s gonna be a technology we don’t understand, like holograms. Like Princess Leia pops up in Star Wars. I’d like that even better, I’d be like, yo, I could use my hands. It’d be great. So I think a lot of technology will come and I do think there’ll be change. I do think that video and email clients like Gmail and Apple mail is gonna be smaller than you think because people don’t
like to go that route. It actually takes longer and I think time is the biggest asset. I think people can type it
quicker than click, dah-dah-dah And I think we’re writing less. You know, a lot more emoji’s. These guys will probably
laugh right now. (laughs) My emails are tight. (laughs) They’re very much in the
K, LOL, Cool, Go, Yes, No I mean, I am keeping it tight. When I write two to three
sentences, people are like, Whoa. I think time is the biggest variable besides people’s non want
to be in picture form. Think of how many people don’t wanna take pictures of themselves. They don’t wanna see themselves. That’s a very big culture, underrated. Especially for the generation
that’s in the workforce now. The younger generation I think
will change that over time.

As you know, I’m a humanist and I’m really big into human beings, hanging out with human beings and building real relationships. – Me too, Simon. – And I love technology
and I love social media, but I’m also aware that there’s a balance and if things go out of
balance, it can actually hurt the relationships that we form. And it’s amazing for me
sometimes to watch people you know, every notification they get, their Instagram, their
Facebook, their Twitter, everything that shows up
on the top of their phones, they can’t help but look
down and see what’s going on. My question to you is, do you think that companies who use social
media as a primary means of marketing, or any means of
marketing, for that matter, have a responsibility to actually
help us find that balance? Do they have a responsibility
to help us manage our real relationships or is it entirely the responsibility of the user? Thanks for your help. – Simon, first of all,
since we’re buddies, I’m dying to have dinner. Let’s get together, ’cause I’m
gonna ask you questions like, do you think that it’s the responsibility of New York City to
limit the size of sodas or is it the responsibility for us? Do you think it’s the responsibility of McDonald’s to no longer make anything that is over 180 calories or
is it the responsibility of us? Do we think that we should, you know, and it’s a very, very
slippery slope, right, I mean, I think that
politicians and other humans have for a long time tried to say, we know what’s better for the user than the user themselves. Not to mention, in a business environment, as you know, Simon, you know, Dunkin’ Donuts and
Starbucks and Peet’s Coffee can be like, cool, we’re gonna do this. We’re gonna limit, we’re gonna only Tweet and post on Instagram three times a day. And then like, Gary’s
Coffee’s gonna swoop in and do it all day long and
see results in the white space and then the other companies were like, screw that, we’re back. And so, I think it’s an
interesting question. I also think, and this
gives me an opportunity to go there, Simon, to say the following. I promise you that when you and I go and have these drinks
or dinner in a couple weeks that I will rarely look
at my phone, if at all. You know why? ‘Cause you’re interesting. ‘Cause I like you. ‘Cause I don’t see you that often. And because that’s what I want to be doing when I’m there. On the flip side, if me
and Staphon were just going to hang out right now for a quick coffee, I might look at my
phone a couple of times. I get to see him more often. We don’t have that much to
talk about right this second. You know, and so I’m like,
I’m gonna be choosing what I want to do besides
what I’m doing right there. I think that us people looking at phones. Looking at notifications is
actually a true indicator of what we value. You know, about to take
a drive with my mom, will not be looking at my phone so much ’cause I miss my mom
and I want to hang out. But if I saw my mom every single day, I promise you I probably would. Which is the truth. It’s just us choosing what we want. And so, technology has given us options. You know, I always talk about the couple you see in a restaurant, where like, me and Lizzie will walk in. Well, me and Lizzie don’t talk about this ’cause of my point of view, but I know so many of you have
walked into a restaurant and you’ve seen a couple and literally, both of them are on the
phone the whole time. And you and your partner are having dinner and saying like, look
how sad that is, right. All of you have done that. Or at least you’ve heard
of somebody doing that or you’ve been part of a party. To me, I don’t think that people
recognize that same couple, 20 years ago, they just sat
and ate dinner in silence looking at each other. Have you seen that weird thing? Have you seen that weird thing, India? Yeah, it’s weird. – It was weird. – It’s weird so I actually
am happy for that couple because what they would
have had to do 20 years ago, which is sit there in silence,
they’re at least actually keeping up with the ball game. Looking up on their Instagram. Deciding what they’d
rather do in that moment than hang out with the other person because they don’t have a great marriage or great relationship. That’s just real. This is real dynamics. I think it’s a very
dangerous slope to say, look, all these
relationships, how sad is this human interaction when
you have absolutely zero, triple zero, not double
zero, Robert Parrish, triple zero, follow me here DRock. Triple zero context to
what’s actually going on in the relationship. Do you know how many
people, I got it DRock. Do you know how many
people are in you know, out in public with each
other that hate each other at that moment. That are struggling. That are having problems. That are on the verge of breaking up. That have a business issue at hand. There’s so many dynamics
and I have no interest in sitting on a pedestal and saying, they should be interacting
with each other. And so, yeah, I think
there’s a responsibility and I think the responsibility goes in many different directions. And I think it’s a tremendously
interesting question. I still think that ultimately,
it’s very difficult to do anything other than
to rely on the end user to do what’s best for her or him. And so, that’s kind of
where I sit on the issue.

and then you get to fire away my friend. – My name is Dave Zhang
@drzhang on Twitter. – (mumbles) nice!
– Might as well do it. – Don’t worry Zhang, if you watch the show
it actually pops up here it’s gonna get linked up.
– [Zhang] Ding! – Yeah exactly. (group laughs) – My question for you Gary is 10 years from now, – 10 years from now. – what industry will be going
through the most disruption? So what is it going to be like in the media industry 10 years from now? – So, 10 years from now, so first of all, and I
like to say this a lot, I don’t think I’m Nostradamus. I don’t like to predict. I will tell you this, I’m gonna take your question
in a different place because I don’t really,
I mean, all of them, which is really where
I’m gonna go with this. I think that Uber, Airbnb, you know, these companies that are
really disrupting markets. Like the hotel industry is
really disrupted by Airbnb. If you’re in the limo business, your shit’s in trouble
because of Uber, right? So, these companies I think most of us, most
of the people watching think that these are anomalies, right? We call them unicorns
in the tech, VC world. And I think people think
they’re so special. I actually think they’re the preview. I think that every single company that is in existence today, that is not 100% software
technology based first, is massively vulnerable. And I think 10 years might
be a little bit too early but if you told me 20, 30 years from now, like E-com I think is much
smaller than people realize it only represents 12-13% of all commerce transactions in the U.S. That means it has, oh I
don’t know, 88% to go, right? So I think there’s a lot of industries, I think on-demand dynamics, right? Like laundromats are I think in deep shit because I think I’m gonna press a button and somebody’s gonna do my laundry. You look at what Shyp is doing
and picking up people’s stuff and shipping it for them,
which I think bodes poorly for the FedEx store. I think you can really
kind of go on anything that hasn’t been disrupted by technology really going that route. And so, I think the last 10 years so much has happened, right? This didn’t exist 10 years ago. This literally didn’t exist 10 years ago. I think the next 10 years will stun people and I think people are
grossly misunderstanding the exponential growth of
technology and software eating up our society
and breaking the norms that we’re just accustomed to. I’d also throw one other thing, I think higher education I
think is stunningly vulnerable. And I don’t think it will
be disrupted in 10 years but obviously we talked
about this in a prior show, I think once the parents stop caring that their kids go to Harvard and Yale, which I think is only one
or two generations, again, I think education is an
interesting place to look at. – Great, thank you, thanks.
– Nice shirt, man. – Cool man, let’s go!

“to integrate with social media?” – I’m a big fan of 3D printing. I think if you play it out at scale, 3D printing is one of the most disruptive things going on that I think a lotta people talked about and it’s not the hot topic right now, which makes me feel like in 2019, 2022, it’s gonna pop and everybody’s
gonna be like, “What?” It’s kinda like the
Internet itself, right? After the dot com bubble burst in ’01 on Wall Street, people kind of didn’t realize the Internet was only growing and would really be a factor. Same thing with 3D printing. It got a lotta pizzazz. Now it’s a kind of soft period. Everyone’s talkin’ about the Ubers and the Airbnb’s. I think it’s gonna really rear its head in five to seven years. How it integrates into social is not interesting. I’m not trying to be disrespectful. I don’t think that’s interesting. I think what’s interesting is if you sell a physical good, between five and 100 dollars, I think you have real disruption coming up in five, 10, 15, 20 years. Like, nobody’s buying a
screwdriver in 15 years. You’re making one. And that’s intense. And then 3D printing gets into a real intense place, including people arguing about gun control in a world where people can be printing guns in their home. Like, who gives a shit about gun shows and permits. I’m printing it in my basement. So society will evolve. We will always adjust. You go show somebody who lived 150 years ago all the intensity we deal with, they would have thought that we woulda killed
ourselves off by now. Humans have a funny way to adjust. I’m in on team human. But don’t get it twisted. 3D printing is a massive disrupter. And over the next two decades, will rear it’s head for all of us.

Will desktop exist in 20 years? – Are we talking desktop
computers, you think, right? Are we including this artifact? – [India] Yeah.
– Yes, this? – [India] I think so. – I do, you know, it’s in 20 years. I mean, you know, I really wanna believe that we’ll be, like, working
on, everything is smart. Definitely not the way
we think about it now, like, this is an artifact. I mean, I didn’t think that
laptops, weirdly, artifact. I didn’t even take my
laptop home last night. I was on my in-laws’ home
and going back there tonight but I had a couple hours to work and I was able to do it on my phone. That was unheard of for me a year ago. So if I’m evolving into that way, I think the whole rest of the market will, a hundred percent not the way we’re at. Will there be something in
between this and an iPad? I do think there’s some screen needs, but I’m not even sure
if I’m thinking about it right in a 20-year window. That’s so far out. I mean, is
the screen just right here? I mean, I think that’s very feasible. I’m confident saying the screen’s
right here on this table. So, no, the answer is
no, but I could be wrong. I can’t wait to watch this in 20 years to A, remember how great I
looked at this time of my life and B, to see if I was right. I asked the question of the day.

“NX running on Android
would be a bit bizarre? “Feels like Nintendo
might not want to invest “so heavily in home consoles any more.” – Thanks Mike. Chris, great question. Sorry to randomly jump into
your question and answer it, but that’s what we do on
The #AskGaryVee Show. You know, I don’t think, first of all, Nintendo should be concerned and should not bet on just being a home console because there’s
no such thing any more. That’s like being a TV provider and only caring about the TV set in a world where this
is the number one device in our society and so, I would argue, it’s about time, Nintendo. Where have you been for
the last 48 months, Mario? Because you’ve been wasting your time away as other people have been
jumping and this should be, no Angry Birds, that should have been princess from Zelda, but no, Nintendo was slow and old, and to Nintendo’s credit,
once a playing card company in the way back, uh huh,
little history lesson for the kids, Nintendo
needs to pivot again and start acting 2016, 17. So, if they’re betting
on being a home console or holding on like, oh, there’s still a place for home consoles, they’re completely out
of their goddamn mind ’cause everything’s going on over the top of a television set and so, to me, it’s not like weird. Shouldn’t they be worried about that? It’s weird, where the hell have you been? – [Voiceover] Paul asks, “Do you recommend

“My computer is sitting in my lap “and I’m reading Twitter on my phone. “Why, exactly?” – Scott, this is very
easy to answer, my friend. Why, because this has
become the first screen. This is the most important
screen in the world. No longer the television and this thing, this thing is dead. This is literally, like, this
is like an archaic artifact. Like, our kids and friends
are going to be like the way they look at, like, a GameBoy or like a Walkman or like a VHS tape or like a CD. Have you seen a 13 year old
look at a CD, by the way? I mean, it’s like, “What is this thing?” The reason this is sitting
here and you’re doing that, let me just replicate this, is because this is the jam, now. This is how we communicate. Not this. This was the jam versus the going to my conference room or my office in my room and
sit down on a big thing, now that’s archaic. The computer, that blew our minds. And, soon, this, I wish
I didn’t forget my watch, whether it’s the watch,
or the contact lenses, or ocular, it’s just evolution. And, so, you’re evolving, my friend. Congrats. – [Voiceover] Jessica asks,

I’m from Staten Island. First off I want to say,
you know, props to Gary he just brings like this
energy and this inspiration to his speaking and that’s
just like unprecedented and I just want to thank
him from the bottom I’m here dude, I’m right
here man, I’m right here. Thank you man, Thank you.
I know, I know you guys. It’s very meta up in here. First off, I spent little bit
time working on Wall Street. in the financial industry. And, I know that industry
is kind of like trapped like a lot of old ways of doing things. And, I think they’ll get really hit hard by a lot of the electronic
training, platforms. But on the same token I think there’s a lot of room for like one on one communications
with your FA and your broker. and just form someone
coming from that industry how would you apply your – 10 minutes. – and your teachings or
something like that in industry? So, you know it’s funny
to be watching you, ask that question with Mitch, I don’t know if you see in front of you. Who I thinks execute, you know literally my answer to your questions, go hang out with Mitch for 15 minutes and have a coffee after this. I think, it’s super easy. Technology is the gate way
drug to human interaction. Period, end of story
and believe that like, like we’ll be robots eventually,
I firmly believe that. I’m not joking. I fully believe that. Now, it’s in my, own mind I
really hope I don’t see it, because it’s weird like
I think, like brain twist like it’s crazy to think that, like I’m in the hard core robots, like straight up, you
know like, but until then, I think that there’s
plenty of room for that. I think the problem is there’s too many old school folks that are like, nothing beats the hand shake
and one to one meeting. And they don’t use the technology, it’s much like the way I branded you know Andy sitting here.
Andy does a lot of quant, you know growth hacking like
build the audience stuff, like I think that, I relied too much on just branding content. If I could do Wine
Library TV all over again the show be 50x, the success it was, cause I did nothing right from a tech stand point distribution. It was just word of mouth,
PR, it just crushed, quality content wise, but you know, with technology in
place, you should use it and so I think that, of course,
there’s human interaction, of course there’s content like this. They can play in every sector. Obviously there’s legal ramifications in that world, but all of them have I think the more interesting question is, I think there’s far more of the reverse to be honest with you. I
think there’s far most, more of the emerging trend of people, that there are still in power places that they’re realize those tech. They can scale them and bring
them to different level. Cool.
– [Joesph] Thank you, Gary.

“evolve in the future?” – You know, Andrew, I took this question without really even knowing where the heck I’m going with it, because the
truth is I’m not quite sure. I think one thing’s for
sure, is if Instagram ever layers Facebook’s
targeting capabilities on its platform to users, it would become one of the
great ad-products of our time for, you know, 2016, 2017 to 2020. There’d be a two to four year run there. It would be incredible. So, that’s interesting to me. Will they use its sister company’s data to plug in there to reach
to people I wanna reach? If I could reach all wine-fans right now based on Facebook data
in an Instagram photo, (releasing air) So, that’s interesting, I also think that, I also think that it’ll
be interesting to see if Instagram goes into wearables, or into more camera-culture. There’s something about smart-cameras in a whole different way than
we’re even thinking about it. Here’s a good one, what
about smart-contact lenses? Like, if I wore contact
lenses, and if I went, it would take an Instagram photo. That’s interesting to me,
so, like how does Instagram layer into the emerging tech that a lot of people don’t talk about? That’s cool, and so, I’m not quite sure. Here’s what I do know,
it has the attention of the consumer at scale right now. They’re doing very subtle changes. They had a product-change
the other day, right, the UI changed a little bit. It was so subtle, right. I noticed it, but I didn’t
hear a headline about it. I noticed it, and it
didn’t stop me in any way. I thought that was super interesting. I see you guys are, right, it was subtle, did you like it, do you not like it? Did you even think about it? – [India] It’s just more
aesthetically pleasing. – Is it more aesthetically
pleasing for you? Yeah, I mean yeah, just super subtle. – [India] Also, it’s all in symbols now; it doesn’t say, like, on it. – Right, it just knows. We’ve just evolved,
right, in our language. Anyway, so, and there’s hashtags, emojis. From what I know about Kevin Systrom, whom I respect a ton,
and I know lightweight. I know a little bit, but I
really know more from afar. He’s a very thoughtful CEO. I think he cares about the product and the audience tremendously. Obviously, my first answer right away into commerce, business,
you know, that’s how I roll. But I think he’s really consumer-first, he understands it needs to stay sticky. Don’t spam it out, don’t ruin it. I’m interested in the
kind of contact lens thing that I brought up, and
some maybe far-fetched, far-out, I like saying far-out. You know, just some forward
thinking around the hard, something about the hardware
in Instagram makes me excited. I think it’s gonna evolve past the phone; and I think that has the potential to be extremely intriguing. I’ll make a prediction,
I don’t predictions; I only react to what’s happening. But I’ll make one for fun. I think Instagram will be
a leader in the next-level hardware version of photos. Because I think it’ll happen in the next three or four years, and I think Instagram can hold on to its leadership.

“the Wired story on Walt Disney World’s Billion Dollar Magic Band? “How do you see this space evolving? “What do you think about
the necessity for these “online/offline bridge technologies?” – Brian, I mean you
know the answer, right? Like this is an interesting question because this is inevitable. Smart technology is
going to eat up the world everything in the world will be smart. All of it. All of it. Your shirt, your pants, your underwear, your sneakers, your socks, the wearables. It’s all coming over the
next 10, 20, 30 years. It allows things that are physical to go so much further
in the digital world. The layering that, and the ammo that this gives Disney and that upfront investment
is extraordinary. The recall, the content pushing out, the unlocking virtual things, all of a sudden now they can change the flow of the park. One of the things I’m
fascinated by as a retailer and I thing that I don’t
think a lot of people think about is efficiencies in an airport or an amusement park, or a retail store where you
know there’s congested area around Splash Mountain, but
you know there’s other parts of the park where people aren’t going. Well now imagine slapping some technology on a rock all the way in left
field around the Haunted House where that’s the last
piece of the band touching for you to unlock the thing no you’re moving people there, less lines, less lines in front of food. All of a sudden people are buying an extra fourth of a hot dog on average. Got it? These are really fascinating
business dynamics that I think will play out
for Disney specifically, as for the rest of the space. Hey man, I mean, the Apple Watch is going to be a game changer for one, whether it’s successful or not. From what I’ve read, and
I have one on pre-order, this buzzing on your body, which is saving you time
from looking at your phone, you know what I think about time, is super fascinating, it’s going to start, if it clicks the way the smart phone did, you’ll start having
people that scale with it. It’s going to be the next smart thing that kind of happened, the watch. It’s just all coming. You’re properly looking
at it for your business. Everybody should be looking
at it for their business if they produce stuff and it’s a space that I’m
spending a lot of time looking at Vayner/RSE
for our investments because it’s clearly in the way that social networks and the
maturity of the internet felt right to me in 2005, 6, and 7, wearable, smart, technology
being infiltrated into everything we do. This cup from India telling India that the coffee is getting… Coffee. The coffee is getting cold and drink up kiddo. It’s fascinating, it’s all fascinating.
