Topic
IOT: Everything We Don't See
Abstract
We lead our lives surrounded by simple technology. Door knobs, light bulbs, appliances, thermostats, trash cans, traffic signals, sprinklers, toasters--technology that we use daily but which is invisible to us. The next generation of technology however is not about faster smart phones. It's about the simple technology that quietly does its job without us really even knowing it's there. Offices that adjust their lighting when the sun streams in. Homes the reduce heating when no one is home. Fire extinguishers that announce their location when they are used. IOT is not about adding big screens or new categories, its about quietly making the devices that already surround us a more useful…and sometimes little things can make for big ideas.
