The Professor’s Minute Minute — June 27, 2025


Today is the last day when I am diving into Mary Meeker’s slides. There is a lot more to dive into. I just pulled the ones I liked. I hope you enjoyed them. Check the link below to the full 340 slide deck. 

Six obscure but important things you now know


Tommy, Can You Hear Me?

 Gen Alpha prefers voice.

55% of Gen Alpha now prefer talking to apps rather than typing. Welcome to the Voice Economy—where talking replaces tapping. Mary Meeker Slide: 63

Natty Dressing by New Age Mods (or is that Moods?)

Wearables are getting moody.

Nike and others are prototyping AI-embedded wearables that shift look and temperature based on mood and environment. Literally changing clothes. Mary Meeker Slide: 80

And finally…

Accessibility: At least Europe Gets a Move On

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) enters force.

35 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act, the EU finally implements comprehensive accessibility rules across digital services.

About time. But don’t expect fast enforcement. https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/disability/union-equality-strategy-rights-persons-disabilities-2021-2030/european-accessibility-act_en
