Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages The book I'm writing at the moment is about relationships. I'm neither a relationship expert nor a psychotherapist, but they do say you should write so that you can teach what you need to know. This means I've been reading some of the big names: Esther Perel, John Gottman, and most recently, Terry Real, who has a brand new book out called Us: Getting Past You and Me to Build a More Loving Relationship. A phrase often used as part of this book's marketing that chimed deeply with me is this: ‘At a time when toxic individualism is rending our society at every level, Us provides the tools to find our way back to each other through authentic connection and fierce intimacy.' It's a big question – how much are we our own person, and how deeply must we connect?  Kevin Ashton's latest book is called How to Fly a Horse, and, if nothing else, that's a title that will get you curious. Kevin is also the guy who named the Internet of Things, and he's been a key player in its evolution. Before any idea becomes a big deal, though, it starts as a crackpot's mad imaginings. Even though the IoT was an idea that nobody really got, it was one that Kevin couldn't get rid of, and he had a self-created sense of urgency that said, ‘If I don't act on this now, I never will.'

Håkan Lidbo is a musician, artist, innovator, designer, and founder of the Rumtiden Idea Lab, an unconventional creative workspace in Stockholm.The work of Håkan and his collaborators stretches across music, art, installations, games, robots, software, public installations, and more. It's quite difficult to define exactly what they do, which is a testament to their vision: "bringing totally new ideas into the world that weren't here before."Håkan himself is wildly prolific (he has released more than 350 records and held a world record for the fastest-releasing musical artist in the early 2000s) and an embodiment of innovation. I sat down with him to talk about how he's able to place himself outside conventional structures and traditions while thriving as a productive and creative leader.http://designdisciplin.com/hakan-lidbo# Related Books, Links, and Resources- Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: https://geni.us/antifragile-dd- Change by Design by Tim Brown: https://geni.us/change-by-design- Creative Confidence by Tom Kelley and David Kelley: https://geni.us/creative-confidence- Creative Selection by Ken Kocienda: https://geni.us/creative-selection-dd- Elektron Music Machines: http://elektron.se/- Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari: https://geni.us/homo-deus-dd- How To by Michael Bierut: https://geni.us/how-to-dd- How to Fly a Horse by Kevin Ashton: https://geni.us/how-to-fly-a-horse- Reason Studios (formerly Propellerhead Software): https://www.reasonstudios.com/- Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari: https://geni.us/sapiens-dd- Simone Giertz: https://www.simonegiertz.com/- Teenage Engineering: https://teenage.engineering/- The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson: https://geni.us/almanack- The Art of Innovation by Tom Kelley: https://geni.us/art-of-innovation- The Bed of Procrustes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb: https://geni.us/bed-of-procrustes- The Ten Faces of Innovation by Tom Kelley: https://geni.us/ten-faces- Zoom H1N (Håkan's voice recorder): https://geni.us/zoom-h1n# Connect with Design Discipline- Website: http://designdisciplin.com​- Podcast: http://podcast.designdisciplin.com​- Instagram: https://instagram.com/designdisciplin/​- Twitter: https://twitter.com/designdisciplin/​- YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCtXM3JdnERaNOiFKaHZJL_w- Bookstore: http://designdisciplin.com​/bookstore# Connect with Håkan Lidbo- Personal Website: https://www.hakanlidbo.com/- Website for Rumtiden: https://www.rumtiden.com/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/hakanlidbo- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hakan_lidbo/# Episode Bookmarks00:00:00 What does Håkan Lidbo do?00:04:29 The Structure of Rumtiden00:12:26 Håkan's Story00:28:08 From Art to Platform00:35:05 Learning Imagination00:41:40 "Design"00:55:14 Books00:56:24 Places and Tools00:57:47 Lego01:02:21 Swedish Synthesizers01:06:14 Collaboration and Singing Tunnels01:12:54 Failure and Art01:16:34 Inspirations01:22:02 Closing

During this episode, You Me and Your Top Three host and CGS Advisors CEO, Gregg Garrett, takes a short pause from interviewing guests to reflect on 2019 and the evolution of IoT. Gregg speaks about three main topics: 1) observations from working in IoT and the ever-connecting world, 2) how this year has been a tipping point for the connecting world and the mindset many leaders have as they drive their companies through this disruptive potential, and 3) doubling down on integration and how 2020 will really require some different types of development skills. Show Highlights Segment 1: IoT Overview 1:04        The evolving IoT industry. (Kevin Ashton.) 3:32        The past: IoT was mostly driven by technology integrators. 5:04        “I started to see the difficulty of the connected product....it wasn’t only a promise, it was now a cost.” 5:43        The present: Can anything not be ‘connected’? Segment 2: The Evolving World 10:00      “We’ve reached this tipping point.” 11:21      It is no longer about the connected product; it is now about the connected enabled experience. 12:48      “I believe the number one most importance capability to compete in this ever-connecting world for companies....is the ability to develop connections.” 14:00      A challenge: Build meaningful, business-oriented relationships over points on the journey.  Additional Information Contact Gregg Garrett: Gregg’s LinkedIn Gregg’s Twitter Gregg’s Bio Contact CGS Advisors: Website LinkedIn

Internet of Things, che tradotta letteralmente significa “internet delle cose”, è stata utilizzata per la prima volta da Kevin Ashton, ricercatore del MIT (Massachussets Institute of Technology). Con il termine IoT si indica nello specifico un complesso di tecnologie che consentono di collegare a internet qualunque dispositivo di uso quotidiano, con l’obiettivo di controllare e comunicare delle informazioni (anche tra dispositivi diversi) per poi farli agire in maniera “intelligente”. Per un funzionamento efficiente di questi dispositivi sarà dunque opportuno avere a disposizione una connessione che risponda adeguatamente agli alti requisiti richiesti dagli smart device, e a questo proposito è consigliabile optare per una delle tariffe internet per la casa che prevedono un uso illimitato della rete.Cresce a dismisura il mercato delle Smart HomeTra i segmenti che hanno registrato una crescita maggiore troviamo quello delle Smart Home, che ha segnato un +52% nell’arco di un solo anno. Il mercato della domotica, infatti, ha raggiunto precisamente il valore di 380 milioni di euro in Italia, soprattutto grazie al grande successo degli smart speaker (ossia gli assistenti vocali come Google Home e Amazon Echo): attualmente questi rappresentano infatti il 16% del valore di mercato (60 milioni di euro all’incirca), superando ogni aspettativa.

物聯網這個名詞在近幾年就一直出現在各大媒體上，有些是從技術面介紹物聯網背後的科技原理，有些是從投資面解析物聯網如何帶動整個產業鏈。而在這集節目中，科技酷宅要從生活需求這個角度切入，與你分享科技達人實際上已經在使用的物聯網應用有哪些。 1982年，美國卡內基梅隆大學打造了一架可以偵測飲料存貨的自動販賣機，堪稱是物聯網概念最早的一次嘗試，之後在1995年無論是Bill Gates的《未來之路》或是1999年Kevin Ashton在麻省理工學院進行的RFID實驗，都似乎已經勾勒出物聯網具體的應用方式，只不過在當時還缺少無線網路與智慧型載具這兩大關鍵。 因此，近年來隨著無線網路從4G朝向5G邁進，以及使用廣泛的智慧型手機、相關的各種智慧家電、智慧型載具，物聯網已經從原本的概念，具體化成為正在迅速發展中的科技產業，並且實際進入到生活場景中為消費者提供各式各樣前所未有的服務。 物聯網有哪些有趣的應用？你覺得真的有需要這些物聯網科技嗎？歡迎加入科技酷宅 Kisplay x 林小旭 的深入討論嘍。

Hoy tenemos el placer de contar con César García (@elsatch ) como invitado. Un referente de la Cultura Maker y el IoT en España. Es el creador del podcast La Hora Maker y es un verdadero placer haberle entrevistado.Gracias a su dedicación divulgativa, hemos podido comprender ciertos aspectos de la Cultura Maker como los FabLabs y Maker Faire. Cofundador del MakeSpace Madrid y Profesor del Programa de Innovación en la Economía Digital (PSIED), tiene un amplio historial a sus espaldas relacionado con el Mundo Maker y el IoT.Pero, ¿qué es la Cultura Maker?La Cultura Maker o el Movimiento Maker, se basa en lo más primitivo de la esencia humana. Hacer las cosas por nosotros mismos. Es algo, que con el tiempo se ha ido diluyendo a lo largo de la historia.Cada vez disponemos de menos tiempo para crear cosas y hacerlas por nosotros mismos. Pero siempre tenemos ese gusanillo dentro y esa sensación de satisfacción, cuando uno hace las cosas por si mismo.Antiguamente nuestros abuelos hacían prácticamente de todo, jabón, mermeladas, comidas ricas ricas e incluso cultivaban su propia comida. Todo esto poco a poco se ha ido perdiendo en favor de las cosas ya echas.Cada vez hay más comida preparada y productos químicos. Todos los hogares está repletos de ellos. La Cultura Maker, no solo se centra en la tecnología, es un movimiento que pretende rescatar la esencia humana, la esencia del hazlo tu mismo.Precisamente el significado DIY (Do It Yourself, Hágalo usted mismo) es ese, intentar en la medida de lo posible, ser autosuficientes.Cultura Maker y tecnologíaQuizás el mayor exponente de la Cultura Maker dentro de la tecnología sea Arduino, algo de lo que hablamos mucho en este blog. También con circuitos, programación y electrónica podemos crear tecnología nosotros mismos.Gracias al open hardware y el open software, somos capaces de crear tecnología y no ser unos meros consumidores.La Cultura Maker y la tecnología, son dos términos que se gustan y dan rienda suelta a nuestras ideas y proyectos. Un ejemplo lo podemos ver con los dispositivos del IoT o Internet of Things. También hablamos mucho de esto en este blog.César nos da su visión. Nos introduce en el concepto de programación ubicua. Un término que se utiliza desde hace mucho tiempo dentro de la Cultura Maker y que actualmente está en desuso. En Xeros Parc estuvieron investigando qué ocurre cuando la computación no es una pantalla o un teclado y es el entorno que nos rodea.Para César, el IoT es un rebranding, algo que se lleva estudiando muchos años en el MIT, desde que Kevin Ashton introdujo este término en la primera década de este siglo. Coincide conmigo que el hito que se produjo en el año 2008, cuando los dispositivos conectados superaron a la población mundial, fue importante.Todavía queda mucho por hacer y, como hablamos en el podcast, solo cuando el IoT afecte a las personas de la calle como tu y yo, será una realidad. Es igual que lo que se produjo con los ordenadores personales, los teléfonos inteligentes y muchas tecnologías que a día de hoy nos parecen comunes, pero que hace unos años eran de ciencia a ficción.El Movimiento Maker y el IoTSin duda alguna, si hay algún movimiento que puede impulsar el IoT, ese será la Cultura Maker. Gracias al abaratamiento de la tecnología y, lo más importante, la eliminación de barreras, la tecnología ya no avanza de la mano de las grandes empresas.Ahora avanza de la mano de la gente cotidiana, de la gente de la calle. Nos reunimos en espacios como FabLabs o Makespace. Compartimos y nos complementamos entre nosotros e incluso tenemos plataformas de colaboración comunitaria a través del crowdfunding.Además de Arduino, existen otros ejemplos donde podemos ver que el IoT será una realidad y algo cotidiano en nuestro día a día. Poder incorporar un procesador a prácticamente cualquier cosa y no solo eso. Hace unos años, añadir conectividad a un objeto era caro. Hoy en día, gracias al ESP8266, podemos hacerlo por menos de 3€.Lo mismo que está ocurriendo con la Computación Física en la Cultura Maker, está ocurriendo con el IoT dentro del movimiento. La eliminación de barreras de acceso ha convertido a esta placa microcontroladora en el máximo exponente en este área.César nos habla de un portal donde podemos ver dispositivos y objetos conectados en tiempo real, Thingful. Se trata de un motor de búsqueda para el IoT.Es el IoT una tecnología del futuroCuando realmente seamos capaces de ver el IoT en nuestro día a día, será cuando las iniciativas de Smart Cities (Ciudades Inteligentes) sean una realidad. Mezclar datos obtenidos de nuestras ciudades, ya sean abiertos o cerrados, y que se integren con automatizaciones, es el gran reto del futuro.Disponer de cruces de semáforos inteligentes, sistema de riego automáticos o gestión de alumbrado público automatizado. Estos son solo algunos retos del futuro para el IoT y para la Cultura Maker. Uno de los congresos más importantes a nivel mundial se celebra en Barcelona, el Smart City Congres. Es un referente y pretende mostrar los avances tecnológicos en esta materia.Pero todo esto sigue una trayectoria progresiva. En contra de las previsiones, los usuarios están paulatinamente renovando sus electrodomésticos por otros que ya disponen de conectividad. Comenzamos con las televisiones inteligentes y, poco a poco, los demás electrodomésticos empiezan a integrar estas funcionalidades.Existen cuatro retos a los que nos tenemos que enfrentar la Cultura Maker, para instaurar la era del IoT dentro de nuestras vidas.#1. PrivacidadSi hay algo que define plenamente el IoT, son los datos. ¿Qué pasa con esos datos? Tenemos derecho a saber si son tratados o no por empresas de terceros y que uso hacen de ellos.#2. SeguridadAnte todo, seguridad. Ya no solo estamos hablando de acceder de forma fraudulenta a los datos. Ahora ponemos en peligro la integridad de nuestros hogares. Cerraduras automáticas, persianas motorizadas y controladas desde el móvil, cámaras de seguridad, etc...#3. PrecioYa hemos visto que el precio de los componentes y de los procesadores se abarata. En contra de lo que podamos pensar, un objeto con el adjetivo conectado o inteligente, puede duplicar y hasta triplicar su precio.#4. La parte socialMuchas veces pensamos que la tecnología es la solución cuando realmente es parte del problema. Todo depende de según se emplee. Google Glass es un claro exponente. Aunque tuviera varios problemas tecnológicos, el gran problema era social. Ver a alguien que te mira a la cara con unas gafas de este tipo, es un poco raro.

Concerns about ebooks “killing” publishing are just the latest in a centuries-long tradition of worrying unnecessarily about the end of reading. The rise of ebooks and, not by coincidence, big data, will be good for reading, writing, publishing, and bookselling, or at least for the people who learn to embrace them. Everyone else is right to be worried. Kevin Ashton draws on his experience as a bookseller, author, marketer, and leader of the “Internet of Things,” to provide guidance and reassurance to help you survive the coming Ebookalypse. Presented by Kevin Ashton (How to Fly a Horse) at Tech Forum 2015 / BookNet Canada / March 12, 2015 booknetcanada.ca/technology-forum

Innovation is hard work, says the British-born author and entrepreneur Kevin Ashton. He was a pioneer of what is now called the Internet of Things, adding communications ability to millions of objects through his insightful work with sensors.

An article by Kevin Ashton proposes that saying "no" to things is vital to the creative process.  Anthony and Jeff wonder why they have such a hard time saying "no" and what that might mean about them.    Like the show?
