26. Why would consumers
use it?

27. I have a phone! It can
do everything!

28. Usability

30. Now, that’s a knife…

31. In some cases you just want
something that works and is well-
adapted to the use case.

32. Location

39. A couple of reasons
“Broadband Internet is become more
widely available, the cost of
connecting is decreasing, more
devices are being created with wifi
capabilities and sensors built into
them, technology costs are going
down, and smart phone penetration
is sky-rocketing. All of these things
are creating a “perfect storm” for the
IoT.”

• Cubietruck
• BeagleBone Black
• Little Bits

75. Design hardware
- use 3D printers
- use paper
- use expanded polystyrene
- use wood
- make a rough version
Ask the hardware guys ;)

78. Privacy

79. LifeStreaming - “...a time-ordered stream of
documents that functions as a diary of your
electronic life; every document you create and
every document other people send you is stored in
your lifestream.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifestreaming
coined by Eric Freeman and David Gelernter at Yale University in the mid-1990s

80. The data you get
The data they get

81. The punch card…
… based upon national census data was used by
the Nazi’s to find, arrest and dispose of people
they didn’t deem worthy to live.

82. Can you guess which books the wannabe
jihadists Yusuf Sarwar and Mohammed Ahmed
ordered online from Amazon before they set out
from Birmingham to fight in Syria last May? A copy
of Milestones by the Egyptian Islamist Sayyid
Qutb? No. How about Messages to the World: the
Statements of Osama Bin Laden? Guess again.
Wait, The Anarchist Cookbook, right? Wrong.
Sarwar and Ahmed, both of whom pleaded guilty
to terrorism offences last month, purchased Islam
for Dummies and The Koran for Dummies.

83. They already know a lot
If we don’t introduce any intrinsic data protection
governments good or bad will know a lot about us.

84. Bron: De TIJD

85. JP Morgan: 76 million accounts were hacked, their
information stolen. This is worth a lot of money on the
black market:
• Verified names & address
• Verified e-mail addresses and phone numbers
• day of birth, gender
• Did they also get the balance and history
information of the customers?

86. Security

87. service

Always encrypt properly
use HTTPS
(tip: GSM encryption is a joke)

Person Data
+
Ask yourself:
do I really need to capture
all the data?
Always encrypt
Local Data using the user’s
password or a temporary
server side key.
Wipe what you don’t need.
Always use HTTPS

88. • Encrypt as much as possible
• Ask yourself if you really need the data you keep
• Remove all sensitive data as soon as you don’t
need it anymore

107. Back in the days when the web started growing incredibly fast
this is what Jeff Bezos is said to have been thinking
What kind of
business plan might
make sense in the
context of that
growth?
TheEverythingStore:JeffBezosandtheAgeofAmazon-BradStone
Things just don’t
grow that fast. It’s
highly unusual, and
that started me
thinking…

108. “It is really hard to create organic growth through
connected devices,” the Harvard Business Review has
pointed out. “It requires linking physical product and
software experiences – designing for convergence – in a
way that few large companies have done successfully to
date [...] And getting the convergence wrong can have
serious implications for a company’s bottom line and
market reputation.”
Big scared companies
create opportunities for
small smart courageous companies.

109. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services’ Administration on
Aging, the population of Americans aged 65 and
older will increase 82% to 72.1 million by 2030—by
2040, those who are 85 or older will almost triple to
14 million.
In 2013 ontvingen in totaal bijna 1,9 miljoen Belgen
een pensioen als werknemer of zelfstandige. Dat zijn
er 6,18 procent meer dan 5 jaar geleden. Tegelijk
blijft ook het aantal vrouwen met recht op een eigen
pensioen stijgen

110. Here’s a business idea
"Now imagine an Internet-of-Things-enabled
mousetrap. That is no longer a product, that is a
service. Instead of someone going to look to see if
a mouse has been caught, they will know once it
fires. Then you take that data and you start to track
where the mice are and you can solve the mouse
problem. That is how you go from a product, via
Big Data, to an entirely new service."
Simon Cook, CEO of London-based venture-capital firm DFJ Esprit
