2018
Connected & Responsive Environments

I was invited to speak at Tide 2018 in Las Vegas about human centered design and the growing trend of connected environments based on the work we were doing at Fjord San Francisco.

The first half of the presentation focuses on the impact that mobile intrusion is having on our lives and looks how some of the features and capabilities historically associated with mobile are now being offloaded and integrated into our environments.

The second half looks at how some of the incredible technological achievements coming out of Silicon Valley can be used to help the hundreds of millions of people around the world who could genuinely benefit from them instead of just making them available to the tiny fraction of our society that can afford the superficial products they are packaged in.
