"We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in

the short run and underestimate the effect in the long

run.”

Electrification of homes started around the start of the 20th century, and by

1930, roughly 70% of western homes had electricity

First for electric lighting, but then for home appliances

Powered by the invention of affordable, reliable electric motors

Massively improved quality of life

number of electric motors they

Starting in the mid-1950s, transistors and then integrated circuits made their way

into household products

Revolutionised the way we communicate, consume information and

entertainment, and later exponentially more powerful and more available

computer

Made possible by the silicon transistor and lithographic production of planar ICs

network

When this seems hilariously quaint

and our kids’ generation tease us

about it, we’ve succeeded

We have the Technology!

IoT will be a disruptive jump in

software complexity for embedded

Companies which are less than 3 years old.”Gartner Research, 2013

“A new scientific truth does not

triumph by convincing its

opponents and making them see

the light,

but rather because its opponents

eventually die, and a new

generation grows up that is

familiar with it.”
