2. Section I: Origins of Spime Section II: Examples Section III: GPSTechnology Section IV:The Pedantic Web SectionV: Combining the Galaxies Spime, GPS & The Pedantic Web 3. A futuristic look at technology through a sci-fi lens Section I: Origins of Spime 4. Who am I? 5. What is spime? n. A theoretical object that can be tracked precisely in space and time over the lifetime of the object. [Blend of space and time.] 6. Internet of Things (IoT) Imagine if every object you own had a presence on the internet: Your car Your remote control Your favorite pair of sneakers Your football 7. Why IoT? Smarter marketing Smarter manufacturing Smarter consumer Peer to Peer communications 8. Blobjects: What are they? 9. The Evolution of Spime Blobject Object with curvilinear, flowing design Designed on a screen with a graphics program Period objects of our time Very common Gizmos Made and used by end users Blobjects can be a subset Extremely functional and designed on computers Open-ended tech development project Short life-span Spime Imaginary object that is still speculative Made & used by a wrangler Precisely located in space and time Historical, traceable, recordable, inventoried Always associated with a story 10. How to Recognize Spime Conceived and designed within a network Unique identification Physically fabricated directly from its virtual plans Can be tracked with geo location technologies Can be searched out through search engines Designed for disassembly Historical: Metadata 11. If spime were to exist Section II: Examples 12. Working Spime Spime is purchased with credit card Account information embedded in transaction End-user receives information pertaining to object Using RFID, the spime is able to update its data Spime is disassembled & recycled; the process begins again 13. ioBridge 14. Amazing technologies are like bright shining stars Section III: GPS Technology 15. GPS Technology 16. CitySense 17. What is this galaxy? Section IV: Pedantic Web 18. Pedantic Web Q.What does pedantic mean? A. Ostentatious in ones learning; overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, especially in teaching. 19. Pedantic Web More commonly known as the SemanticWeb Nickname bestowed by XML developers Extension of the world wide web Help computers read and use the web Fueled by metadata 20. Imagine the Possibilities 21. Imagine the Possibilities Now With the semantic web you could: Enter your preferences for yourViking Range into a computerized agent Agent searches the web Best option is found Agent places your order Agent opens your personal finance software on your computer Agent records amount spent Agent marks the estimated delivery date on your calendar Bonus:The agent also learns your habits and preferences, so if you had a bad experience it would know to cease using the site in the future. 22.
