IDoT Tempos: Cadence, Lifecycles, and the Long Now
So, a few notes on the rising tempo gaps between things, makers, humans, & flocks: 1. Devices can be in service for decades. Buildings. Tractors. Prostheses. Solar panels.

“We need to talk…” UX for Identity of Things conversations
▶⏸⏯⏭⏪⏹⏺⏮⏩◀ Play, Pause, Step Back, Jump Ahead. Our iconography for linear navigation was lifted from olde technology, the VCR, which borrowed it from audio cassette players like the Sony Walkman that recycled commands from larger reel to reel audio tape machines.

In 2021, gov defensive infosec spending doubles
2021 will have as many or more disasters as 2020. Even more cyber crime, terror, and war. Defensive cyber spending by government agencies has been a tiny fraction of offensive spending, by headcount.

In 2021, biopharma and medical supply chains up their #IoT identity ecosystems
Supply chains always get short shrift. In 2020 they got attacked. The immune response? Newer identity and security models and tools. For example, Trust over IP federates governance. More visibility, live tracking, deeper tracing. WiderPoV: Supply chain identity feels like known territory, with proven tools nicely deployed giving adequate results. But expectations soared in 2020. Do…

In 2021, half of new #medtech devices will ship with #5G
We’re pulling that 50 percent number out of the air. But we won’t be surprised if the number is higher. The chipsets are available and increasingly cheap, the code is more reliable and tested, and the call for making devices more multisensory and multipurpose deepens. P.S. #techmed vs. #medtech? “Medtech” wins on twitter and linkedin.…

In 2021, big tech companies slow their #ehealth projects
Across Europe and North America, governments are holding big “tech” companies accountable for… well, everything. With more sworn testimony, public interest data analysis, streamed hearings, stronger rules and restrictive laws, expect the rise of defensive thinking among the FAANG behemoths. Healthcare, somewhat regulated, may be thought of as dangerous territory, causing their e-health initiatives to…
