The Killer App Is Colored Green

Well, of course there will be may other colors too. The Internet Of Things, and the applications of spimes, and OpenSpime are too numerous to put in just one bucket. But certainly green technologies are going to be an exceptionally important application of widespread, bottom-up, environmental sensor technology. We have come across a couple of posts on blogs we follow, about the Arctic sea “foaming” with methane, and the unlocking of the carbon sequestered in peat fields. These are really the kinds of predictions that must create more than just face-saving action by politicians who want to gather a few extra hippie votes. We need concrete action, tools, and ways for people to relate to their environment in a manner that let them change their behavior now!

We are in Lisbon for the rest of the week, speaking at the SHiFT conference, and holding a workshop about the Social Energy Meter, and other applications that cross the Internet Of Things, with the Internet Of People.
