So no, bots won’t go mainstream in 2017; we’ll see a lot more of them for sure, but the real shift to watch for will be in how products and services become more conversational in nature and design, and increasingly work through whatever interface (visual, voice, or messaging) we happen to be using at the time.

“How you wake up each day and your morning routine (or lack thereof) dramatically affects your levels of success in every single area of your life. Focused, productive, successful mornings generate focused, productive, successful days — which inevitably create a successful life — in the same way that unfocused, unproductive, and mediocre mornings generate unfocused, unproductive, and mediocre days, and ultimately a mediocre quality of life. By simply changing the way you wake up in the morning, you can transform any area of your life, faster than you ever thought possible.” — Hal Elrod
