The time of Internet of Things is now

50 Billion connected objects await us on the threshold of 2020, and many of these will necessarily be "autonomous"

Web 1 it was about data; Web 2 is about people; Web 3 will be about objects * In 2008 the number of connected objects has exceeded that of humans

Time of Makers

Makers, are Hybrids by denition

Italian Design, Reloaded

Maybe we can not have another Renaissance, but we can certainly fix Italian Design

@leeander |

Design it is not -anymore- about shape. Design is about behavior

@leeander |

Behaviors (not just style)

iPod+iTunes

Design (Rules) for Makers

Even asocial objects, dream of Clouds

@leeander |

Every object must know STORIES

the History of its past (how it is made, where it was produced, how it is used) and its future (as it is disassembled, valued in its parts, recycled, disposed of).

@leeander |

Every object must be SENTIENT

Every object should know something about the world around it through sensors, or at least know when and where it is used.

Microsoft Kinect The Blubelle Dress changes the look instantaneously according to our emotional state and our personality.

@leeander |

Every object must be SOCIAL

Every object must be able to communicate and share its status across social networks used by humans, "participating" in their social relationships.

@leeander |

Why Makers should think BIG?

Can Makers re-start Italy?

The BIG Opportunity

Put an OBJECT in the pocket, car, home or office desk of every person, user, customer, partner, affiliate, etc. through which to enter into a dialogue, with bidirectional logic and in a social network. This is the opportunity provided by the INTERNET OF THINGS.

@leeander |

+Makers + Startups
Leave the culture of the industrial era and that of the broadcast, move to the era of the Internet, applying it in every field through startups.
"If in the United States more than 50% of new jobs are created within companies that have less than five years of life, evidently the startups all together work."

"If Apple has enough cash to pay in cash the debt of eight European Contries, it will mean something, right?

To innity and beyond...

The INTERNET OF THINGS, is the next wave the next big opportunity It would require a national mobilization on these issues because it is a bit like when the Web2.0 started only MUCH bigger We could wait for the wave to mature and this would make us mere users of technology developed by others or jump in the waves fail in a number of cases and also have some success and in the process develop IoT technologies that can be leaders in the global landscape and to be clear, until we are ready to fail we wont be ready to win
