Topic 2: What will smartphones be like in ten

Topic 3: AWS Announces IoT TwinMaker to Accelerate the
Creation of Digital Twins
One of Ryan's favorite topics. Well, it's here! Will you get a digital twin for Christmas next year?
More than a static "snapshot," digital twins are data-driven representations of things like in the real world, updated with real- or almost real-time data so we can study potential behavior of the things they represent. AWS has built a system so you can play with this technology and find new uses for it.
