  4. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tobybarnes/6063215546/ “When big company Internet Of Things thinkers get involved

    they tend to spawn creepy videos about sleek people in sleek homes living optimised lives full of smart objects...There's no magic or joy or silliness in it. Just an optimised, efficient existence.” Russell Davies
  5. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tobybarnes/6063215546/ “I always think the big difference between the Makers

    and the corporate Internet Of Things lot is that the IoT people are trying to make the world more efficient and controlled and the Makers are trying to make it more personal and magic. They're imagining objects that come to life like they do in Harry Potter.” Russell Davies

  7. “What’s the point of being grown-up, if you can’t be

    childish sometimes?” Thank you. Thanks to Sarah Challis for her animation skills. http://www.r4isstatic.com @r4isstatic
