Demanding Devices

Design and the Internet of Things
22 Nov 2011
Nesta, London

With everything from our phones, to fridges, boilers, energy meters and the television demanding attention from us in the 'internet of things', we will need to change our approach to information interaction.

The tenth in our series of Hot Topics events looked at the challenges of designing for an Internet of Things.

Speaking at the event were pioneers Usman Haque, founder of Pachube, and Matt Jones, formerly at the BBC, Dopplr and Nokia, and now a principal at design agency BERG.
