Décryptage de l'Internet des objets au travers des 4 axes majeurs de la transformation digitale (Data, Cloud, Mobile, Empowerment). Présentation de l'AWT dans le cadre du Café Numérique spécial "Internet des objets" à Louvain-la-Neuve, le 20 octobre 2014

In this presentation hat I gave at our Faber Portfolio day this year I am trying to build a model of how AI, Robotics and Conversational Interfaces will create a Superstack subsuming the current Internet and the majority of the global workforce.

This document discusses the concept of an "Internet operating system" and how various online applications and services are contributing to its emergence. Some key points include: - Many popular websites and apps like Craigslist, Wikipedia, Google, and others are helping to build an Internet OS through their use of open source software and ability to aggregate user-generated data. - This Internet OS will consist of various "subsystems" centered around data types like location, identity, time, products, etc. that will provide increasingly transparent services across devices. - Three types of data sources that will feed this OS are namespaces (unique identifiers), primary data, and derived meanings extracted from user data. - As more user

With thousands of sessions, a packed exhibit hall floor, hundreds of party and networking opportunities, and dozens of ancillary activities, this year’s SXSW Interactive, which took place March 7-11 in Austin, Texas, was a place ripe for curiosity and exploration. To paraphrase one panelist: SXSW is a living, breathing manifestation of the Internet and culture. This report highlights 10 overriding themes from the 21st annual festival, based on on-the-ground reporting, input from JWT and Digitaria colleagues in attendance and secondary research.

The document discusses the emergence of an "internet operating system" made up of loosely connected services and data sources. It provides examples of early applications that use combinations of mobile devices, cloud services, sensors and data to provide new functionality. These include local search powered by GPS, speech recognition, and business data, as well as future possibilities like real-time translation. The architecture of this emerging "internet OS" is seen as distributed and decentralized, avoiding central control and allowing innovation at the edges through open APIs and standards.

The document discusses emerging technology trends and future careers. It covers the evolution of the web from Web 1.0 which allowed anything to link to anything, to Web 2.0 which enabled user interaction, to Web 3.0 which will reconnect existing data for new uses. It also discusses the rise of social media, mobile technology like smartphones and how cars may become the next mobile device. Finally, it outlines several high-growth careers in areas like mobile app development, 3D printing, augmented reality, cloud computing and more.

The document discusses the rapid adoption of smartphones and the shift to a mobile-first world. It finds that within the next 3 years, smartphone ownership will reach majority levels globally. Currently, 18% of users are considered "smartphone dominant," spending most of their digital time on mobile. This group is expected to expand to the majority of consumers as mobile experiences continue to improve. Factors like developing for larger screens, improving cross-device experiences, and adapting to trends in app replacement will accelerate this shift to a smartphone dominant world.

This document discusses the rise of mobile devices and their impact on digital trends. Some key points: - Mobile devices like smartphones and tablets now greatly outnumber PCs and are driving growth in connected devices. - Popular communication apps like WhatsApp, WeChat and Snapchat are seeing massive adoption rates, surpassing text messaging usage. - Mobile media consumption and online activities like photo sharing are also growing rapidly as people spend more time on their phones. - Many industries like retail, transportation, payments and advertising now rely heavily on mobile users, who account for over 20% of online traffic and an increasing share of sales and revenues. - Mobile has extended people's digital time and changed consumption patterns, with smartphones

Mobile technology is driving towards a hyper-connected world in 3 key ways: 1) Everything from appliances to vehicles is becoming "smart" and internet-connected. 2) Access to mobile internet is widening through more affordable devices and expanding infrastructure. 3) Technology is becoming more humanized through voice control, personalized experiences, and devices taking on human qualities. As this shift accelerates, mobile will change our lives in many ways such as acting as a wellness coach, lifesaver during emergencies, universal remote for smart homes and vehicles, and seamless interface across devices. It will also take on more of our identity through mobile payments, digital keys and consolidation of personal information.

The document discusses various topics related to online tools, technologies, and skills, including building online polls and maps, remixing content, location-aware web and mobile technologies, user skills reports, search engine optimization, analytics data, and engaging with collective intelligence on the web. It also references the origins and mission of the Open University to bring degree-level education to those without access to traditional universities through communications technologies.

The document discusses designing mobile web experiences. It begins by noting that while some devices like the iPhone are popular, the overall penetration of smartphones remains relatively low globally. It then examines the diversity of mobile devices and browsers in use. The document argues for an adaptive approach that works across different browsers and devices, using techniques like responsive design with media queries. It provides guidelines for mobile-friendly development, such as using semantic HTML, limiting animations for performance, and structuring CSS to deliver the right styles for each device type. The goal is to make the mobile web accessible to all users, not just those with specific devices.

This document provides an overview of machine learning and its future applications. It defines machine learning as using statistical techniques to give systems the ability to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Examples of current machine learning applications include powering Google, YouTube, Netflix, personal assistants like Siri, self-driving cars from Tesla, and brain-machine interfaces. The document discusses the differences between traditional programming and machine learning approaches. It also outlines statistics on machine learning usage, pros and cons, job and market opportunities, and how to get started in the field through online courses.

The document discusses several potential future uses and developments of computers. It suggests that computers may eventually make their own decisions and become conversation partners that can respond to speech and gestures. Advances in nanotechnology are also predicted to continue, allowing objects to be built from their basic parts. Cars are proposed as one technology that may be controlled by computers rather than human drivers in the future.

The document discusses predictions for the future of the web, including that by 2014 we will create more unique information than in the past 5,000 years combined. It also discusses the evolution of web technologies from Web 1.0 to 3.0, the rise of user generated content and social media, new forms of ephemeral messaging, and the growing role of mobile internet access. The document also makes predictions about payment technologies, 3D printing, and how people consume information online.

The document discusses the growth of text messaging and argues that predictions that it would not catch on have been proven wrong by the 6.1 trillion text messages sent annually. It provides examples of how text messaging is used for a variety of purposes including disaster communication, entertainment, customer service, and scheduling. The document also discusses how text messaging began as an unintended feature of mobile phones and has become a mainstream form of communication.

The passage discusses gender roles and expectations in the 1950s setting of John Irving's novel The Hotel New Hampshire. In the beginning, the narrator notes that his mother worked as a chambermaid at a hotel, showing the common female role of cleaning and serving. Women were also limited in their education options. Later, a male character orders another male to clean feces from his shoe, stating that without girls present, the other boy must do the cleaning. This highlights the gendered association of cleaning and servant-type tasks with women or girls at that time period in the novel.

Computers are machines that can store and execute programs to manipulate data. They are versatile and can perform the same tasks given enough time and storage, from mobile phones to supercomputers. Computers are now essential in daily life for information gathering, personal records, office work, and connecting with others. Robotic dogs with computer programs can help seniors who are lonely or sick by providing company and understanding feelings through cameras. The future of computers involves continued development of robot technology to perform dangerous tasks like spaceflight and search and rescue, enhancing lives at a lower cost than current robots.

The document discusses the current state of conversational interfaces such as chatbots and voice assistants, noting that while early versions were limited, recent advances in artificial intelligence, data availability, and user expectations have created new opportunities for conversational interfaces to become more useful. However, conversational interfaces still have limitations and work best when focused on simple, well-defined tasks rather than attempting to replace more complex interactions or functions better suited to humans. Designing effective conversational interfaces requires keeping interactions simple, clearly setting user expectations, and in some cases, involving human assistance.

Today’s 'smart devices' are a product of the technology and mental models of our past. From a connected lightbulb to a robot vacuum, using most of these devices requires a native app. This in turn greatly limits their contexts of use. Can we really expect users to download an app to interact with a random ’thing’ they encounter at the mall, a space they explore for an hour at the museum, or a city they will only visit for a day? What devices could we build, what 'smart' environments could we enable if users could simply discover, “walk up and use”(and then if needed, abandon) these objects and environments as they do a web site? This workshop will discuss two new technologies--Physical Web and Web Bluetooth--that can enable on-demand interaction with physical things and spaces using no more than a browser.

Some people say the web is dying, but I believe it’s just getting started. And what will kick it into overdrive is the Physical Web: the ability to discover, engage, and interact with smart devices (or that “dumb” tree over there) using nothing more than a browser. In this presentation, we explore the impact these new capabilities may have on the way we design and think about this (increasingly near) future web.

A brief exploration of proposed Level 4 Media Queries and some thoughts about the future of the web. Presented at Responsive Day Out in Brighton on June 27 2014.

The web was first conceived 25 years ago, by an Englishman. Fifteen years later, as the first crop of dot.coms were going bust, close to 60% of its users (and all Alexa "top 20" sites) came from developed nations. Fast forward to today, and the picture is strikingly different. Almost half the Alexa "top 20" now comes from emerging economies. Economies where close to 3 billion people have yet to use the web, but thanks to mobile--won't have to wait much longer to discover it. This presentation will introduce you to fascinating and innovative services that are re-shaping the web to serve the consumers of tomorrow. Driven by mobile, the power of personal relationships, and the breakneck pace of globalisation, these services provide a glimpse into the business models, opportunities and challenges we will face, when growing a truly global web.

This document discusses emerging technologies and how they are blurring the lines between the digital and physical worlds. It explores concepts like smart connected objects, Internet of Things, and how the web can better integrate with native apps and experiences. The document advocates for a more seamless experience where the web enhances and complements other technologies instead of trying to replace them.

Presentation by Stephanie Rieger of Yiibu at the MobX Conference in Berlin, Germany November 17, 2012.

Midway through a project, a client of ours recently said "One thing I'm learning is that it's ok to give up on the desktop experience once it stops making sense". This wasn't an isolated incident. In fact, i'm beginning to think desktop web sites stopped making sense quite a while ago. We've just had nothing viable to replace them with. Mobile apps have given us a glimpse, but I think they're merely a glimpse into something bigger. Mobile isn't merely a new stage in the evolution of the web, it's not even merely a new context, it's the very early stages of an entirely new system. A system that has already started to shape our environment, affect the way we live, how we choose to connect with others, and how we're able to spend our time. A system that is also slowly unravelling our assumptions and causing us to question the very reason we build web sites, why people visit them, and where the true value of the web actually lies. Presented by Stephanie Rieger at Breaking Development in Orlando, Florida on April 17, 2012.

The document discusses the challenges of designing products in today's environment of rapid technological disruption and change. It notes that the adoption of new technologies is happening at an unprecedented pace, and that users now expect to cocreate and modify products. This shifting landscape requires designers to create more adaptable and loosely defined products that can evolve with input from many actors in the ecosystem. Orchestrating tightly controlled experiences becomes difficult as products spread online and are influenced by diverse perspectives.

The document discusses how the context in which mobile devices are used has become increasingly complex and unpredictable. Guidelines from a few years ago around mobile design being focused on quick tasks and limited attention are no longer reliable given that mobile interactions now occur in many contexts. The rise of affordable smartphones and proliferation of connected devices means that for many people around the world, a mobile device may be their only access to the internet. This is dramatically impacting user behavior and expectations.

This document discusses the diversity of mobile devices and user experiences globally. It notes that while smartphones have gained popularity in some markets, global smartphone penetration remains only around 23% and the mobile experience varies greatly depending on location, device capabilities, and network infrastructure. This diversity is likely to continue as new platforms and low-cost devices disrupt the market.

Presented by Stephanie Rieger at Breaking Development in Dallas, April 11 2011 and Mobilism in Amsterdam, May 12, 2011. Context is often cited as the single most important factor in design for the mobile medium. Mobile devices are of course 'mobile', but they are also small, always on, always with us, and can instantly connect us to the people we love. Mobile services must therefore be simple, social, and well-focussed--enabling us to quickly get things done on even the smallest screens. This is all well and good, but mobile devices have changed. They may be mobile, but many have already stopped being 'phones'—nor do they resemble what we traditionally think of as computers. This presentation will explore how our use, and perception of mobile devices is changing, and how these changes may impact how we should design for them going forward.

The document provides 8 tips for improving the user experience of app stores. The tips are: 1) Plan for real people rather than seeing users as simple inventory; 2) Prioritize high-quality metadata provided by app developers; 3) Leverage editorial content to curate apps; 4) Help developers to increase quality of their apps; 5) Personalize recommendations using staff picks; 6) Make the store accessible across multiple devices and platforms; 7) Explore offline touchpoints for app discovery and sales; 8) Consider segmenting the store into different categories to better target users. The overall message is that app stores should treat users as complex individuals rather than just inventory or customers, and can improve by providing more personalized experiences.

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution! Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.
