Talk about public service internet ideas at Revolution Conf http://2015.shropgeek-revolution.co.uk/index.html
1. Like Zach mentioned I'm Matt - Jukesie to just about everyone - and I work at the Office for National Statistics. For a change though this talk isn't about that - this is something a bit different and well to be honest you are my guinea pigs...a quick bit of housekeeping. First up I sound like a pirate not a farmer so tweet accordingly, secondly I do on occasion swear - apologies in advance..
2. Now it is clear that the 'Internet of Things' is the latest 'next big thing' - Gartner, those bastions of forward thinking, are suggesting that 25 billion 'things' will be connected to the internet by 2020. http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2905717 -- another study says 90% of cars will be internet connected by the same year. I look forward to cars breaking down due to dropped connections - makes me happy I can't drive.
3. Here is the thing though - I don't care. Wearing a watch so I can tell who has DM'd me without going to the massive effort of looking at my phone? A fridge that can tell me when I have run out of milk? A car that can drive itself (OK maybe that one would be good sometimes given my driving!) The way that movie Wall-E portrayed people was not supposed to be aspirational!
4. Here is what I care about - this is still what interests me...this..
5. Plus this...
6. = this. The Internet of Screens....if I thought we were done with this ...
