(or random thoughts about the Internet of Things)
Is our idea of home at odds with the idea of ubicomp?
Are we ready to be a “user” all the time?
You don’t need to “interact” with a chair or should the technology be smart enough to know when to intervene or not?
Should we be learning to let go of a notion of control that makes an interaction become “work” (ie switching something on/off)
We see technology become smaller and smaller, are we ready for it to be bulky and physical again, or does that go against a notion of progress associated with miniaturisation?
Are we ready to accept some agency on the part of our technology?
When does intelligence become spooky?
Are we ready to give up privacy for better experiences?
