So What's Next? extolling the reality of term based marketing fads. 

So who is that  person? The person who is prepared to carry the torch from initial concept all the way through to it being in the hands of end users and ROI to the investors. Who is that person? The Designer.

Recently in an article in Harvard Business Review - How the Internet of Things Changes Business Models we see the necessity to make changes of how connected devices interact with the world around us and our views on what a connected model of devices and objects means.
