  • The internet of things is here, and technologist Taylor Romero is first in line to bring these new advances into his wife’s barbershop & clothing store. Brick-and-mortar stores are in competition with online retail, but might the internet save his family shop? Join Taylor has he pulls back the curtain on the future of IOT-integrated retail.
    Taylor Romero landed his first web gig at the age of 14 and worked several high-profile positions in the tech industry before going in a totally new direction, diving into retail and men’s fashion. He and his wife, Becca, opened Spruce, a menswear boutique and barbershop, in 2015 and haven’t looked back since. Taylor is passionate about the ways technology can impact our world, and hopes to play a part in helping put Denver on the map as a tech mecca.

    The internet is exactly what us millennials want - instant gratification. We have little patience since we have grown up with all this technology. I like when he talks about how inpatient we are online while shopping, but we are willing to wait in long lines for something in a store.

    4 years later... Internet is connected to my doorbell, the door locks both home and car, my lights, I've even seen fridges that'll tell you when you're low on milk when you drive near a store. So he was right

    I'm a retail analyst and I have to say this talk was brilliant. Personalization through technology is the future. Best of luck with your business, and hopefully you'll consider expanding into Canada at some point as you grow.

    I like this speech. It is truthful. And the speaker Taylor Romero did a good job.What he is saying is true about technology in today's society. And loved the heartwarming example. The business is a good idea. A combination of the two concepts. It is good to see give people a spruce in their life. Get it. Spruce. Everyone needs one of those once in awhile. Especially if they have a bad day.

    I'd love someone to do a pentest on his store and his IOTs. I bet there are loads of holes in it. Wait until they have a data breach.
    Still easier to just go down to my local barbers and just walk in. See how many people were in before me and then know when I'll be next. Simple.

    So, the whole point which really shows that technology is worth giving away our privacy and loosing millions of Jobs is that in the event of a Deaf client coming in,our assistantwould lhave time to learn a couple of greetings in the sign language which would make the client happy enough to get a selfie which would contribute to the success of the Shop just cause prospective clients who happen to search for him on facebook will find a picture of a happy person after a haircut,but not because of the haircut, but for the fact that every body knew he was Deaf before hand. Amazing.

    Having employees enter data about a client’s general disposition or personality traits such as “frequently chatty” or “not chatty” ?? Wow really?! What else do beauty stylists share about their clients? No one in the salon should be describing
    a client’s personality and especially over the Internet.

    In my opinion, this talk did not meet the usual standard of educating us on new ideas. It appeared to me more of entertainment about an interesting topic, and using a lot of humor to help us understand it. At the midway point I had to stop the stream because I was not feeling educated enough. In my opinion, TED should not allow this format to become a trend. I listen to TED videos on automatic loop in UA-cam and I prefer my TED videos to be fascinating rather than simply entertaining. Thanks.

    It's a great talk, but it's trying to legitimize certain things that aren't needed.
    Why would anyone ever need an internet washing machine when it cannot load itself. Or an internet couch?
    I see things like this as the equivalent of me driving down the road to the shop, instead of walking to it. You go too far in this direction you end up as the people in Wall-E.

    • @neoman289151

I wanted to do something new like big businesses do. I came across er4u and my problem just got over. With the help of er4u I can create offer coupons, schemes and run loyalty programs which is latest in the business. My sales increased by 35% in no time. Thank you friends!
