THE INTERNET OF THINGS
PART 2/3 - Freedom of & from Technology


IOT & COMMUNICATION
- Humans are really separated into two catagories. Those who embrace the change (obviously those who MADE the IOT) versus those who are afraid to use it
- Humans have an innate preference for familiarity in things like 'warm technology' or tactile tech, versus 'cold technology' or computers/digital hardware (look up The Teddy)
- People care about having an Experience as much as they care about Funtionality. Its not enough that it looks good and works. It has to have Meaning.


IOT & MOBILITY
- The IOT is NOT about ‘create the most awesomely high tech thing’
- IOT should be about learning experiences and how to connect individuals so that we can be useful to EACH OTHER as well
- “Smart mobs emerge when communication and computing technologies amplify human talents for cooperation…”
- The benefits do not come from technology. The structure isn't tech-benefit-human, it should be human-benefit-human. The technology will not create the benefit, the benefits should be created by the humans who use it
