This is truly a treat for your weekend. Bruce Sterling, picking up on his thoughts in Shaping Things, riffs for the first 20 on the "internet of things" and how difficult he find the scenarios to manifest. Then Scott Klinker, 3-D Designer-in-Residence at Cranbrook, hits the PowerPoint with some student explorations of what some of that futurestuff might look like. The whole thing is branded as a Google Tech Talk (indeed, there are loftier aspirations for Google's involvement--who better to catalog the I-O-T), so this conversation is just getting started.
The audience is tiny here, but not for long.

Wow...Google has officially turned into Microsoft, watching this reminded me so much of my Redmond days when a brilliant speaker would come in and a few participants would sit through the talk with laptops on lap typing away and then in the end, you get a few non-inspirational company relevant questions. I don't think that a corp environment (not even Google) is where Bruce will achieve the the embodiment of his visions...all you need a small group of designers who are passionated about the relevancy of your ideas. Designers should inspire Bruce right back in a perpetual loop of creativity.
