There was a good academic foss4g13 talk exploring devices communicating their location back into a visual console - I think we will need to take that idea and run with it.
- IoT will not be a thing, instead things will be things (the internet will be assumed) - I did not mention location there, because location will already be assumed - Security will still be a pain, but we will give up privacy rather than fix it - Giving up the privacy associated with location will actually mean giving up real privacy (but we won't notice until a generation has grown up without it) - We have a tradition of spatial being special (things closer together are likely correlated) the mix of this assumption with things (internet+location) will result in "GIS" behaviours where the closeness assumption no longer holds -- Jody Garnett On 9 September 2015 at 11:42, Jo Cook <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear All, > > I am writing a paper predicting the state of Open Geospatial in 2020, for > a Foresight study for the Association for Geographic Information ( > http://www.agi.org.uk/).
