But according to authors Giuseppe Conti, Raffaele De Amicis, Federico Prandi (all from Graphitech) and Paul Watson (from 1Spatial), those are just a stepping stone to future technologies and processes that will enable a spatio-temporal Internet of Places using the growing mass of unstructured data resources on the Web. How will we design products for the Internet of Things? As revolutionary as the mobile ecosystem is, it’s the interactions of more-intelligent connected devices with people outside the context of phones or computers that will drive more innovation, says Mark Rolston, the chief creative officer at Frog Design.

Rolston, speaking at the Mobile Future Forward conference on Monday in Seattle described a future where devices become more contextually aware, thanks to embedded and connected sensors. Instead of thinking about the buttons on a phone or a laptop, manufacturers and designers need to think about what will happen when computers are embedded in everything and connected all the time. Instead of computing’s being confined in a box on a desk or in the hand, computers will be everywhere, pulling data from a variety of places. In fact, user interaction might be a very minimal part of the overall design. IBM open-sources ‘Internet of Things’ protocol.

Internet of Things and Prospects - IOT: Internet of Things / Internet of Things

Aujourd’hui, afin de traiter le problème posé par la "rareté" d'un objet qui nous est "utile" (3), nous l'achetons (en prenons possession) pour l’avoir en permanence à notre disposition et disposer de la garantie de pouvoir l’utiliser à n'importe quel moment, ce même si l’usage en est occasionnel. Nous payons ainsi un prix pour avoir les objets "sous la main" car il nous est difficile d'en prévoir à l'avance l'usage : nos besoins n'étant pas toujours anticipés et les conditions de partage des objets qui y répondent étant compliquées à mettre en œuvre (problème d'organisation), nous nous garantissons individuellement – avec la propriété - un accès permanent aux ressources qui nous sont utiles.

Or, dans les approches les plus crédibles de l’Internet des objets, il est proposé d'attribuer de l’intelligence logicielle associée aux objets. The Daily Internet of Things.

Innovation and the ‘Internet of Things’

The Internet of Things refers to a fast-growing and seemingly infinite eco-system of embedded devices in computers, cars, smartphones, appliances, - even clothing, books and toys – all connected to the Web and all producing data about who we are, where we are, and what we are doing. For example: A modern car may have as many as 200 sensors, measuring everything from engine performance to tire pressure.

The Internet of Things delivers a ‘connected life’ with immediate access to data, media, communities and communications across a broad range of devices.

The Internet of Things to Come: elements of a ubiquitous computing innovation ecosystem (GigaOM presentation) - Orange Cone. I was again honored to be asked to speak at GigaOM Mobilize this year. Last year I spoke about service avatars, but when GigaOM's Surj Patel asked me to talk about the future of the Internet of Things, I was somewhat stymied. Looking over what happened since last year, I haven't seen many major technological or commercial events that point in any particular direction (except the acquisition of Pachube, which is more validation of the value of open M2M communication than a trend in itself).

Currently it is undergoing the beginning of true convergence with the real world around us, turning on lights and such on our phones, to embedding stuff in our stuff to help us do things like help us drive our cars better, and making sure we get in trouble for being parked longer than we paid for at the meter.

Connecting material, spatial and cultural practices. Some people find the naming of things to be incidental, uninteresting or even irrelevant, but from a sociological perspective the struggle to find the "right" name is critical to understanding people's interests, concerns and claims over domains of knowledge and practice. (For example, to declare the name of something an issue that needs correction, or as a problem to be solved, can be seen as the first step in what have called a sociology of translation--the successful result of which comprises an " as contested domains of knowledge and practice, so I was really interested in a conversation I followed on Twitter this morning.
