The document discusses the transformative impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on various sectors, emphasizing the need for a paradigm shift in governance and societal structures. It highlights the emergence of new business models, such as leasing over ownership, and the challenges institutions face in adapting to technological advances. The author urges the IoT engineering community to support decision-makers in transitioning to more networked organizations amidst ongoing societal upheaval.

Het moment
van ‘onstaan’
herkennen en
autonoom
kunnen laten
bestaan

2. De Fukeshu:
Er is geen
‘essentie’,
alles is ‘flow’,
dynamiek en
verandering.
Elites zijn
veranderende
skillsets
aangepast

situatie

3. NARRATOR: BUT SOMETHING ELSE HAD CAUGHT HIS EYE.
TUCKED IN AMONGST THE A-TYPES WAS ANOTHER SIGNAL.
SCIENTISTS KNEW ABOUT IT. THEY'D EVEN GIVEN IT A
NAME: THE B-TYPE, BUT NO ONE KNEW WHAT IT MEANT.
DR NORMAN BANKS (US GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1967-1999):
IT WAS SORT OF A MYSTICAL SORT OF THING. WE DIDN'T
REALLY UNDERSTAND FULLY WHAT IT WAS, NOR DID WE
UNDERSTAND THAT WE COULD USE IT.
NARRATOR: THE B-TYPES WERE A CONUNDRUM. UNLIKE
THE A-TYPES, THEY HAD NO CLEAR BEGINNING AND THEY
TAILED AWAY SLOWLY. OFTEN THEY WOULD MERGE WITH
OTHER SIGNALS MAKING THEM HARD TO SEE AT ALL.
DAVID HARLOW: WHAT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO
SEPARATE THEM AND SAY DEFINITIVELY WELL IT WAS THIS
TYPE OF EVENT THAT WE'D BE HOPEFULLY FORECASTING.
THEY WERE TOO MESSY.
NARRATOR: BUT CHOUET COULD SEE SOMETHING IN THEM
THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD SEE.
BERNARD CHOUET: IT STARED YOU IN THE FACE. WOW,
THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT. EMBEDDED IN THE
RECORD AMONG ALL THESE A-TYPE EARTHQUAKES WERE
CLASSIC LOOKING QUASI-MONOCHROMATIC HARMONIC
SIGNATURES, BEAUTIFUL TEXTBOOK EXAMPLES.
NARRATOR: OF AS HE WOULD PUT IT MORE SIMPLY: A
LONG PERIOD EVENT.

6. IN SYSTEMIC SHIFTS THE NEXT NORMAL IS AT STAKE.
INTERNET OF THINGS INFLUENCES CHANGES IN
PRODUCTION (SMART MANUFACTURING, MASS
CUSTOMIZATION), CONSUMPTION (ECONOMY OF SHARING,
LEASING VS OWNERSHIP), ENERGY (MONITORING GRIDS,
HOUSEHOLDS AND DEVICES), MOBILITY (CONNECTED
CARS), DECISION MAKING PROCESSES (SHIFT TO
GRASSROOTS AND LOCAL AS DATA, INFORMATION AND
PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOLS COME IN THE HANDS OF
‘MASSES’), FINANCE (IOT CAN SUSTAIN MORE
CURRENCIES: BITCOIN, BARTERING, AND AGAIN ‘LEASING’)
AND CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVERGENCE OF THE
ABOVE SHIFTS INTO A NEW KIND OF STATE AND
DEMOCRATIC MODEL BASED ON THE NOTION OF
‘PLATFORM’. IT IS MORE AN OPERATION ON THE SCALE OF:
BEFORE AND AFTER THE WHEEL, BEFORE AND AFTER
PRINTING/THE BOOK. IN A KIND OF PHILOSOPHICAL WAY
YOU COULD SAY THAT IT IS THE COMING ALIVE OF THE
ENVIRONMENT AS AN ACTOR, IT TOUCHES EVERY HUMAN
OPERATION.

INTERNET OF THINGS IS IN ITS ESSENCE THE SEAMLESS
FLOW BETWEEN THE
BAN (BODY AREA NETWORK): THE AMBIENT HEARING AIDE,
THE SMART T-SHIRTS...
LAN (LOCAL AREA NEWORK): THE SMART METER AS A
HOME INTERFACE
WAN (WIDE AREA NETWORK): THE BIKE, CAR, TRAIN, BUS,
DRONE….
VWAN (VERY WIDE AREA NETWORK) : THE ‘WISE’ CITY AS
E-GOV SERVICES EVERYWHERE NO LONGER TIED TO
PHYSICAL LOCATIONS
WHOEVER ENSURES TRACEABILITY, SUSTAINABILITY AND
SECURITY LINKING UP THE GATEWAYS IS DE FACTO AND DE
JURE THE NEW POWER. AND WOULD I WANT SUCH A
FLOW? THE BEST POSSIBLE FEEDBACK ON MY PHYSICAL
AND MENTAL HEALTH, THE BEST POSSIBLE DEALS BASED
ON REAL TIME MONITORING FOR RESOURCE ALLOCATION,
THE BEST POSSIBLE DECISION MAKING BASED ON REAL
TIME DATA AND INFORMATION FROM OPEN SOURCES AND
THE BEST POSSIBLE ALIGNMENTS OF MY LOCAL
PROVIDERS WITH THE GLOBAL POTENTIAL OF WIDER
COMMUNITIES.

FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO
POLITICAL AND CIVIL SERVANT DECISION MAKERS. MY
STORY WAS AND IS THAT THIS TRANSPARENCY AND FULL
TRACEABILITY IS NOT AN ATTACK ON THEIR SYSTEM. IN
FACT THEY PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN PROVIDING
DEMOCRATIC TOOLS SUCH AS EDUCATION, LIBRARIES,
RELATIVELY OPEN ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE. YET THEY
HAVE NO MORE AGENCY IN THIS CURRENT AGE. A LARGE
MAJORITY IN THE PREVIOUS CHINESE GOVERNMENT WERE
ENGINEERS. THE NEW PREMIER IS A CHEMICAL ENGINEER.
THE COUNTRY IS ALREADY RUN LIKE GOOGLE (WHICH HAS
ABOUT THE SAME RATION ENGINEERS/NON-ENGINEERS).
IN THE WEST OUR POLITICIANS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY
UNABLE TO GRASP THAT THEIR SKILLS AND TOOLSETS
(AND EGO’S) HAVE BECOME IRRELEVANT. THE CIVIL
SERVANTS I TALK TO UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE NO MORE
MANAGERIAL ROLE IN THE (SEMI) AUTONOMOUS GRIDS
THEY HAVE BUILD THEMSELVES, BUT DO NOT WANT TO LET
GO FOR FEAR OF LOSING PRESTIGE, A PENSION, A
‘POSITION’. THROUGHOUT HISTORY SUCH PARADIGMATIC
SHIFTS HAVE LED TO REVOLUTION, BREAKDOWN AND LOSS
OF LIFE AND RESOURCES. IT IS THE TASK AND DUTY OF
THE CURRENT IOT ENGINEERING COMMUNITY TO HELP
THESE FORCES UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN FACILITATE
THEIR SKILLSETS TO MOVE OVER INTO MORE NETWORKED
ORGANIZATIONS.

I RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO TALK ABOUT INTERNET OF
THINGS FROM THE GFF 'AND THE ITALIAN INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY', TRANSFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES #4:
IMPLICATIONS FOR AN EXPANDING THREAT ENVIRONMENT
SEPTEMBER 17-18, 2012 ROME, ITALY. IN THE AFTERNOON
FIVE BREAKOUT GROUPS (SENIOR INTELLIGENCE, POLICE AND
MILITARY) CAME BACK WITH FIVE SCENARIOS OF MAJOR
THREATS: ONE WAS MILITARY, TWO WERE ABOUT DIY BIO AND
TWO WERE ABOUT THE 'TOTAL BREAKDOWN OF SOCIET Y',
BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY OF CURRENT INSTITUTIONS TO
DEAL WITH THE DIGITAL. IT WAS QUITE CRAZY TO SEE MY
OWN SCENARIO OF A WHILE AGO PLAYED BACK BY
INSTITUTIONAL ANALYSTS.
OWNING THE HYBRID OBJECTS OF IOT MAKES NO SENSE
(LIABILITY, ACCOUNTABILITY). LEASING IS THE LOGICAL
BUSINESS MODEL. AS ITEMS AND PLATFORMS CAN NO
LONGER BE SECURED, THE LOGICAL BUSINESS MODEL OF IOT
IS THE SMART CITY. YOU BUY LIFE. PICK YOUR CAR, YOU
LEASE MOBILITY. YOUR FRIDGE WILL BE ALWAYS FULL, YOU
LEASE STORAGE OF FOOD. YOU CAN SECURE A CITY. SO THERE
YOU HAVE THE LOGICAL TRAJECTORY OF IOT: TRADITIONAL
POLICING AND MILITARY SECURING TRADITIONAL
PROPRIETARY BUSINESS MODELS. THE FORMER HAVE
BECOME MILITIA’S AS THE STATES ARE GONE. IN 2020 THERE
WILL BE 1500 SMART CITIES AND MAD MAX IN BETWEEN. YOU
WOULD NOT WANT TO LIVE IN EITHER.

EEN NIEUWE GOUDEN EEUW LIGT VOOR NL IN HET
VERSCHIET
T’ IS ÉÉN KLEINE ‘SMART CITY’
WE KUNNEN HEEL GEMAKKELIJK NAAR EEN PLATFORM
MODEL
DAT BETEKENT WEL DAT WE ONS MOETEN LOSMAKEN VAN
DE STAAT ALS HET ENIG ZALIGMAKENDE
BESLUITVORMINGSNIVEAU, DE MONARCHIE NATUURLIJK
(KAN WEL EEN ANDERE ROL KRIJGEN : HANDELSMISSIES)
EN NIEUWE VRIENDEN ZOEKEN IN DE WERELD WAAR WE
ONZE OPGEDANE EXPERTISE WEER AAN KUNNEN
VERMARKTEN,
HET OUDE SCHIP IS ZO LEK, ECHT NIEMAND KAN ER MEER
IN GELOVEN, HET ZOU ERG ZIJN ALS ZOVEEL WAARDE
GEKOPPELD BLIJFT AAN DE STARRE OVERTUIGING VAN
ENKELEN
DAAROM ZIJN DEZE HACKATHANS OOK ZO BELANGRIJK, ZE
KUNNEN EEN NIEUWE RUIMTE ZIJN WAARIN ECHT
ONDERHANDELD WORDT DOOR NIEUWE EN OUDE ELITES
WAARMEE WE EEN PARADIGMAWISSELING GEZAMENLIJK
KUNNEN BEGELEIDEN
