- 6. 6 Independence & Physical Activity How will adventurers and thrill junkies manage in a world where travel becomes too expensive both financially and environmentally? Here comes Project: Daredevil a remote sensing kit for extreme sports. How could this transform not only travel and sport but also education, medicine, politics & business?

- 7. 7 Digital Shoreditch 2015 Panel - Exploring the Future of Connected Objects Eating As food and energy supplies strain and people demand instant gratification things we find commonplace today like supermarkets and refrigerators will become a thing of the past. Drone allotments will become the defacto way we order and grow our food. Farmville meets Amazon Prime for a new era of rationing.
- 8. 8 Digital Shoreditch 2015 Panel - Exploring the Future of Connected Objects Order Who wouldn't want a domestic version of Amazon’s Kiva warehouse robots scurrying around putting everything ints place, imposing order on your home? But just as domestic robots become a reality the tumbling cost of ultra low power connectivity opens up the possibility of tagging *everything*. With all your stuff fully Googleable will tidying up become redundant and chaos win out over order?
- 9. 9 Digital Shoreditch 2015 Panel - Exploring the Future of Connected Objects Vengeance ‘Fraping’, or stealing someone’s Facebook login to cause them social harm, is so well established vengeance seekers will expand the tactic to connected products. An assailant with the keys to your Nest Account or Home Kit database could cause mischief in your home. From assassinating your Hamster with your heating system, to granting undesirable characters access. Will these threats lead to a new class of connected product, like a Bouncer Router, to restrict access to inappropriate digital entrants?
- 10. 10 Digital Shoreditch 2015 Panel - Exploring the Future of Connected Objects Honour As increasing individual autonomy leads us all to become ‘global citizens’ the need to be loyal to the traditional values of one's clan/ethnic group changes in guise. Those that wish to defend traditions and rituals will need champion enforcement systems. The "Etiquette Table" is one such enforcer - monitoring and nudging table manners to one of many clan/ethnic group “settings”.
- 11. 11 Digital Shoreditch 2015 Panel - Exploring the Future of Connected Objects Idealism "I am because we are”. As individuals we are nothing without systems to enforce and encourage just behaviour for all citizens of a society. But how do we govern in an algorithm and AI controlled future? When data rules our decisions, "Direct Democracy" will allow every citizen to vote on algorithms that control anything of interest - from traffic to minimum wages.
