The Trouble With Things
summary
Computing is diffusing into everything: cars with Tesla Model S REST API, biosensor baby scales, egg-sensors and networked thermostats, all exposing apps and cloud services but mostly with proprietary APIs that don’t interoperate. Result: islands of things that force humans to act as relays, remote notifications that require cloud access (a leak detector may need the internet to alert you), and bloated device UIs that are just remote controls instead of anticipatory, contextually aware automation.
