the future of social objects - internetome conference
DESCRIPTION
What are the design principles that will drive the creation of the next generation of objects? When you can safely assume that not only ubiquitous, high bandwidth networked communications are available, but also that the behaviour of people has been already primed to understand, and almost empathically relate to realtime data collection, and feedback, entirely new classes of useful objects can emerge. Couple this with rapid prototyping, and the tight feedback loop of constantly measuring interaction, with its resulting utility, and what you’ll find is a radically different way of organizing the creation, distribution, use, and re-use of the manufactured world we live in.TRANSCRIPT

THEN we can handle a septillion individuals (10^24)
