6. Some know of Koomey’s Law in this room
10. Many know Metcalfe’s Law “Network Effects, ” really
13. Known as the three laws that drive the Internet of Things.
14. Moore gives us viability Koomey gives us feasibility Metcalfe gives us an incentive
22. But here’s another three “laws”
23. Steward Brand’s “Shearing Layers” You might know them as OSI model
26. “technological progress that increases the efficiency with which a resource is used tends to increase (rather than decrease) the rate of consumption of that resource.” Jevons’ Paradox
27. “The cheaper it is to consume » just one more « the more we will use it.” Jevons’ Paradox
28. Shirky’s Law of “Mundane Technology”

30. “Communications tools don't get socially interesting until they get technologically boring.” — Clay Shirky Anything, really…
31. “The WWW project was started to allow high energy physicists to share data, news, and documentation.”
32. In short, to create a better document access system.
34. The ‘Heretics Three Laws’ of the Internet of Things
35. Differential rate of Change Increased resource consumption Backgrounding of Technology
36. “We'd like to think of your entire home as an accessory, or better yet as a network of accessories, and think of Android as the operating system for your home.”
37. ”Users could manage their deployment.”
38. “Boil your kettle with your smart phone, anywhere in your home.”

45. “Sure. Let me tell you all about electricity.”
46. “I have no idea how much I use…”
47. About at the same time…
48. Web2.0 Prosumer User Generated Content
49. “Prosumer?”
50. Not exactly what the consultants meant…

55. “But how do I find out how much I use?”
60. We thought this is the Golden Age…
61. “1 in 5 people don’t know what kWh (kilowatt hour) stands for—some thought it was a make of Japanese car, a type of heavy goods vehicle or even a boy band.” — E.On UK survey
62. “Most consumers interact with their [energy] provider an average of just nine minutes per year. These interactions are generally neutral or negative—typically pertaining to billing, credit or supply issues.” — Daniel Yates, OPower
64. It mustn’t be this way…
70. “I sort of regard the network as being like the next generation of electricity: it will end up hitting all products sooner or later. But we won’t really think about them as being “networked products,” in the way we don’t think about things as ‘electrical products.‘” — Matt Webb, BERG
71. “Sculpting with Data” — Boris Anthony
73. We need to rethink our products from the ground up.
74. In short, to create a better document access system.
75. Other assorted issues
82. Questions?
