the renaissance of connected things - eclipseday florence 2014
DESCRIPTION
Florence has been the cradle of the Renaissance around the 14th century. It’s amusing to think that another Renaissance happened in Italy several hundred years later, in 2005, this time in the world of connected marchines. The Arduino board was created and ignited an incredibly rich community of makers, developers, and industrials who all cooperate for building the core of the things that surround us. There are actually many options for building connected solutions today, and Benjamin discusses the importance of having a vivid open source ecosystem around IoT to ensure that key aspects like developer adoption and interoperability are not left aside.TRANSCRIPT

Communication
Around 1450, Gutenberg improved the movable type system
It introduced the era of mass communication we still live in

Communication in 2014
Open source communities and social networks foster open innovation and developers engagement
Open communication protocols like MQTT or CoAP are movable type for Things

Wealthy people like the Medicis or the Borgias sponsored many artists during the Renaissance
We probably wouldn’t know of Leonardo, Michelangelo or Raphael if it weren’t for them
