Our only connection was a Dropcam placed in each of our apartments with a live feed accessible to the other. Anytime we watched the feed, video of our own face was also captured, implicating us in our watching.

  1. What would it take to get to a dystopian society like that in “society of spectacle”
  2. Do you think that the objects we own will ever be personified such as a refrigerator that seemed smug?
  3. “How smart does the bed in your house have to be before you’re afraid to go to sleep at night? – really interesting because of how it shows the constant anxiety attached to over measurement of daily activities (aka fitbit)
  4. Is time really the only commodity left?
  5. 25% discount of paintings on wall – similar to Amazon kindle adds on screen of kindle until payment
  6. What exactly does it mean for a “critical engineer” to raise awareness with each technological advance in our techno political literacy?
  7. Why exactly should the “critical engineer consider the exploit to be the most desirable form of exposure.
  8. Could there be other solutions to profound problems besides implementing more technology?
  9. Will the wealth of new data provided by “smart cities” aid anyone in making anyone happier?
  10. Will technology “literally disappear into the woodwork” as IOT is expanded to the outer reaches of our life?

This LED light connects to a phone or music producing device, and acts as a speaker. While it may seem non-sensual at first, it has a feature of producing lighting that fits the mood of the music being played. The idea of setting a certain mood in a room using auditory and visual perceptual systems is key in creating an immersive sensual experience. The bluetooth capabilities allow for a flexible creation and movement through the atmosphere.

There is nothing more intimate and feel-good than getting a good night’s rest. The IT bed gives statistics and data points that can help understand the quality of the user’s sleep, and gives suggestions for getting a better night sleep. Using that data to adjust the firmness of the bed is hugely important. The idea about taking biometric information, sharing it between devices, and using it to understand the intricacies of one’s body is a very person application of IOT devices.
