Hello
What is the ‘internet of things’?
Question
Definition
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing Internet infrastructure.
“
”— Wikipedia, Internet of Thingshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_of_Things
Definition
It seems to mean everything and nothing. Like, is it RFIDs in airports to track luggage, combine harvesters driven by town-wide WiMAX, or web-connected receipt printers for the home? Too much.

Why a‘machine’?
Question
Expanding the definition of ‘machine’
• expanding the definition of ‘machine’: a physical thing that does a job, that fulfills a need (apps generally do the job of something we had before)
• something tangible, which affords us more opportunities for engagement
• engagement with a broader spectrum of our senses
• which in turn engage a broader spectrum of our cognition
• which build deeper, richer memories
• breaking down popular apps, finding the jobs they do
• imagining those jobs being done by a ‘machine’
• capturing the experiences these ‘machines’ produce and dwell on how we can bring more of those experience to the Things future
As we start to make Apps as Machines, what are the building blocks of rich physical experiences we can draw from?
Hypothesis
A physical experience offers usso many opportunities for cognitive,and thus, emotional engagement.

Discovering what apps and their services do for us
Uncovering what Dropbox does for us …
• in order to translate the apps into useful machines we need to understand what apps & services are doing:
- car2go gets you from A to B
- a drill hammer helps you to hang a painting on the wall
- Pinterest supports you in collecting and remembering things
Uncovering what Dropbox does for us …
APPS AS MACHINES — Uncovering the jobs behind
Dropbox lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Access any file you save to your Dropbox from all your computers, iPhone, iPad, and the web. With Dropbox you’ll always have your important memories and work with you.
Dropbox’s jobs-to-be-done*
Dropbox
— Jobs-to-be-done describe the tasks that a product or service is carrying out. People don’t just buy products or just want to use a certain service. They ‘hire’ them to do a job.
For example: Car2Go gets you from A to B. The drill hammer helps you to hang a painting on the wall. Pinterest supports you in collecting and remembering things. — @ClayChristensen, http://www.christenseninstitute.org

Interview for Empathy
Ask why.
Never say “usually” when asking a question.
Encourage stories.
Look for inconsistencies.
Pay attention to nonverbal cues.
Don’t be afraid of silence.
Don’t suggest answers to your questions.
Ask questions neutrally.
Don’t ask binary questions.
Only ten words to a question.
Only ask one question at a time, one person at a time.
Make sure you’re prepared to capture.

Often, because people are so focused on the who and how, they totally miss the why. When you start to understand the why, your mind is then open to think of creative and original ways to solve the problem.

Those digital updates have little sympathy for any divisions of time or space we might to impose upon our days. We may find that we are ranking the ‘needs’ of our machines above our own.
