Mind the Gap: Designing the Space Between DevicesJosh Clark
There's untapped magic in the gaps between gadgets. Multi-screen design is a preoccupying problem as we try to fit our content into many different screens. But as devices multiply, the new opportunity is less about designing individual screens but designing interactions BETWEEN them—often without using a screen at all. Learn to create web and app experiences that share control among multiple devices, designing not only for screens but for sensors. The technology is already here in our pockets, handbags, and living rooms. Learn how to use it right now.
Apple is an American technology company founded in 1976 that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics. It is vertically integrated, controlling elements like hardware, software, and services. Major competitors include Google, Samsung, and Microsoft. Apple's target market includes middle/upper income individuals, technology enthusiasts, and media/design professionals. The company has faced criticism over labor practices in its supply chain and environmental impact.
The Maker Movement began in the early 2000s as a resurgence of do-it-yourself creativity fueled by new technologies like 3D printing and Arduino boards. Makers now number in the millions as people rediscover the satisfaction of making physical objects with their own hands. New low-cost tools and online communities have lowered barriers to entry, empowering a new generation of innovators and shifting production away from large corporations. The Maker Movement promises significant economic and social benefits by transforming industries, democratizing innovation, and inspiring self-sufficiency.

We are entering times of great disruption.
Presentation at Nýherji's AI conference 18.10.2016
Manlike machines have fascinated humans since ancient times. The modern robots start to take shape with the industrial revolution. In the 20th century robots were mostly industrial machines you would see in factories, like car factories.
Today, robots can have sensors, vision, they can hear and understand. They can connect to the cloud for more information. However, we are still in the early stages of robotics and robots will need to go a long way to become useful as a ubiquitous general purpose devices.
The document discusses the difficulty of predicting innovation and the future of technology. It notes that experts are often not as accurate as chance in their predictions, and that truly innovative companies are able to achieve what experts deem impossible or improbable. The document also highlights how industries and leading companies are often disrupted by new innovations and new players that emerge.

The document discusses lessons learned from 10 years of experience with the Internet of Things. It describes an enterprise approach to managing energy usage and equipment performance across thousands of buildings using the Siemens Site Controls platform.

Instead, prioritized exception reporting, rule-based analytics, data aggregation, and ranking sites by performance indicators helps users focus on the most important issues. The "Real World" is unpredictable, so the system is designed to expect failures and handle large amounts of complex data.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between body language and personal perceptions of power and confidence. Nonverbal behaviors like posture, gestures, and facial expressions can influence how powerful and in control we feel. Specifically, taking up more space by expanding our bodies through open postures makes us feel more powerful and confident, increasing testosterone and decreasing stress hormones, while closed postures make us feel less powerful. The findings suggest we can influence our own self-perceptions and behaviors by adjusting our body language to be more open and expansive over time.
