Basic introduction to the Internet of Things for designers.

1. Anything that can be connected, will be connected.
PIZZA FRIDAY: Introducing IoT

2. The more advanced the technology is, the more
relevant the human factors become.

Currently, the English Wikipedia alone
has over 5,399,110 articles of any length,
and the combined Wikipedias for all
other languages greatly exceed the
English Wikipedia in size, giving more
than 27 billion words in 40 million
articles in 293 languages.

Facebook 2016 | Estimated average
degrees of separation between all
people on Facebook. The average
person is connected to every
other person by an average of 3.57 steps.
Microsoft 2008 |
In a world of 6.6 billion people, it
does seem hard to believe. The
theory of six degrees of separation
contends that, because we are all
linked by chains of acquaintance,
you are just six introductions away
from any other person on the
planet.
But yesterday researchers
announced the theory was right -
nearly. By studying billions of
electronic messages, they worked
out that any two strangers are, on
average, distanced by precisely 6.6
degrees of separation.

14. The INTERNET OF THINGS bridges both the
physical and digital worlds, permitting the power
of the internet to reach everywhere humanity.

15. DID YOU KNOW IN WHICH YEAR THE NUMBER OF
CONNECTED OBJECTS WILL EXCEED THAT OF HUMANS?

16. IT IS ALREADY HAPPENED

17. Internet of Things demography
In demographics, the world population is the total
number of humans currently living. The world
population was estimated to have
reached 7,500,000,000 at 16:21(UTC) on April 24,
2017. The United Nations estimates it will further
increase to 11.2 billion in the year 2100.
7,3 B people on Earth, today
8,3 B Connected Objects, today

18. Even if the Internet appears ubiquitous, still the number of connected objects or devices is vastly
inferior to those which are not connected. The coming revolution will raise from the necessity of
substituting everyday objects with connected ones, making these more intelligent and aware.
Placing a smart object in a pocket, car, on a desktop or in a
customer’s home allows the building of a personal, always on,
bi-directional communication channel.
This is the opportunity provided by the INTERNET OF THINGS.

24. DATA | INTELLIGENCE

25. The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of
"connected devices”, vehicles, buildings, and other items
embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators,
and network connectivity, which enable these objects to
collect and exchange data.
In 2013 the Global Standards Initiative on Internet of Things (IoT-GSI) defined the IoT as "a global infrastructure for the information society,
enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and
communication technologies" and for these purposes a "thing" is "an object of the physical world (physical things) or the information world
(virtual things), which is capable of being identified and integrated into communication networks"

Technological innovation is an
evolutionary process, which
responds to social innovation.

We are the consequence
of the TOOLS we use.

29. Technologies are shaping us through the
cognitive (connected) consumer devices we are using

30. What might design do in the IoT age?

31. IoT is primarily a cultural shift

to live long and prosper.

39. Design Laws for “Makers”
1. 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).
2. 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.
3. 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.
