This document discusses the differences between design and making in the context of the Internet of Things. It notes that a maker process involves taking an idea and turning it into a prototype then promoting, funding, manufacturing and distributing it, while a design process involves mockups and protecting the idea before selling and manufacturing. The document advocates that design should be an open and collaborative process of learning like the maker process. It highlights how hardware is now cheaper to make and sharing ideas is important for progress in the IoT field.

- 18. An open process. The most valuable ideas are developed through experimentation.
- 21. IOT’s future. Some ideas just keep being repeated until a larger player gets involved.

- 23. I am not anti-design Design should be an open & flexible process of learning. Design should be collaborative by default.
- 24. 2 communities vs
- 25. The difference? The value is in the doing, not the idea.
- 26. The difference? The fact that you can design for other people.
- 28. Who are makers? Computer Scientists with an interest in products. too rarely Product designers with an interest in computer science.
- 29. Who are makers? People who understand the internet as a tool. too often People who understand the internet as a window display.

- 31. What does this have to do with diversity & accessibility? There are no limits. There is no landscape. There are no silos.
