1. Internet of NO things is already
happening
2. It changes our relationship to the
physical world
3. Eventually internet will disappear and
become part of our environment

5 nuggets
from internet
of NO things.
1. Super
resource
efficient society
2. Post-choice
society.
3. Post-
ownership
society.
4. Post-market
society.
5. Post-energy
society.
Where to
now?
We have
two roads to
choose from.
1. Conservative agenda. Conserve what our
current structures with laws, regulations and
incentivising
2. Progressive agenda. Ask what should we do
with this new technology, how can we harness it
and keep the values we have.
The progressive Agenda
=
The Nordic Agenda
