The Power of Connections
summary
Argues that exponential growth in connections lets developers rebuild legacy processes by wiring sensors and platforms into real problems, not polished business cases: example parking sensors that cut cruising (Parisian spends four years looking for parking, 30% of city traffic is searching), Philips Hue used as a sensor platform, 512K bulbs versus 48K home computers, and Cisco lab platforms ready for prototyping. Calls for throwing away slide-decks and showing results—prototypes beat business cases—then scaling what actually works across education, healthcare, logistics.
