Podcast 17 – David Orban and the internet of things
This is a special podcast, an interview with David Orban, European advisor to Singularity University and the chief evangelist for WideTag.
Right about now, Rise of the Machines, a conference taking place in London on the Internet of Things, is about halfway over. Earlier today, one of the speakers, David Orban, sat down with another speaker, David Wood, for a five minute talk about the current state of IoT. As the conferences progresses, we’ll post more interviews by Orban with other key players who are at the event.
Wood has a long background creating smart mobile devices, including a decade with PDA manufacturer Psion PLC, and more than 10 years as an executive with smartphone operating system specialist Symbian. He is now principal of Delta Wisdom. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/rise_of_the_machines_david_wood_on_the_internet_of_things.php

David Orban (futurist, speaker and business executive) is today’s featured guest.
The Internet is big and still growing. How it grows and where it grows changes with time. During the next few years one of its massive growth spurts will be into devices that are not physically connected to the net. This transition has already begun. It is moving into the billions of cell phones. But next will come other simpler objects, like shoes and clothes and toys and toasters.
Spimes, some people call them. What are spimes? What are the benefits and dangers of this new Internet expansion? What will be the uses and misuses? How will spimes impact people’s lives? How will portions of the Internet migrate to this Spimey Network. David Orban covers all these topics as well as the backlash Walmart and Darman each received over their use of RFID chips in their products.
