“The best way to
           predict the future
           is to invent it.”
Alan Kay
“An invention is a unique
or novel device, method,
composition, process
or discovery.”
The future might be
experienced through a
unique or novel device,
method, composition,
process or discovery.
To see the future we have
to find out where the
unique or novel devices,
methods, compositions,
processes or discoveries
are going to come from.

Castles & Clouds: some ideas on the near future

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Lewis Hine http://www.archives.gov/press/press-kits/picturing-the-century-photos/old-timer-structural-worker.jpg
  2. The reasons why IOT came about with Arduino are quite obvious: it’s a cheap (20 euro) open source platform that allows you to program a chip and connect it to the real world, with no prior knowledge of electronics or coding. As an idea, this is incredibly powerful and has allowed a smooth transition between a one-off and a final product.

  8. A little bit about myself I’m a designer and entrepreneur and I’ve been working around the internet of things since 2005. I started out as a product design student, then got an MA in interaction design, which is where I got interested in the impact of connectedness on everyday products. I worked for agencies and did some work online in digital strategy and design for a while, then started my own “smart product” studio called Tinker London. We worked with clients like EDF, BT, the BBC. After 4 years of being a manager, I went back to working as a consultant and designer in January 2011. I also collaborate with RIG London, a design partnership in the Silicon Roundabout.

  16. If you think of what the typical r&d path might have been in a large organisation, I woul venture it might look like this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Corporation
  17. However, the situation is now completely different. http://www.funnyname.com/anonymous.html
  18. So now what? This is where the challenges I talked about earlier need to be addressed.
