Joshua Marinacci tells us what he's been thinking about in terms of the future of the Internet of Things. How will the future look when every object is networked? Do we need to look to Isaac Asimov's Laws of Robotics?

The Internet of Things and the Laws of Robotics

Humans are social creatures using communications that are ‘regulated’ by trust, ethics, social systems and law. Our world of interactions and networks is increasingly complex and automated. What happens when events and decisions become too fast for us to perceive, let alone control? Professors Huw Price and Murray Shanahan join Dr Jonathan Cave and Dr Hermann Hauser.

The Internet of Things and the boundaries of humanity

<p>At our <a href="http://www.oscon.com/oscon2013">OSCON conference</a> this summer, <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/jbruner">Jon Bruner</a>, <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/reneed">Renee DiResta</a> and <a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/jennw">I</a> sat down with <a href="https://twitter.com/aallan">Alasdair Allen</a>, a hardware hacker and O'Reilly author; <a href="https://twitter.com/joshmarinacci">Josh Marinacci</a>, a researcher with Nokia; and <a href="https://twitter.com/tsmuse">Tony Santos</a>, a user experience designer with Mozilla. Our discussion focused on the future of UI/UX design, from the perils of designing from the top down to declining diversity in washing machines to controlling your car from anywhere in the world.

Why the Internet of Things is so cool

Jon Bruner, Jim Stogdill, and Roger Magoulas talk about what's been on their minds this week: the NSA's surveillance programs, what defense contractors will do with their technology as defense budgets dry up, and a Californian who isn't doing what you think he's doing with hydroponics.

The Internet of Things, PRISM, and defense technology that goes civilian

Many technologies and challenges will shape what we know as “the internet of things” over the next few years. In the latest GigaOM Research podcast, we sit down with analyst Jon Collins to discuss what the technology is (and isn’t) and why it matters for our connected future.
