  1. MASS TRANSMIT

    By: The Connective Editors
    As you beamed us your stories from cafés on the other side of the world and photos from buses in our own neighborhood, as you brainstormed story ideas on Twitter and borrowed public Wi-Fi in Amsterdam and Scranton, we were working in Google Drive to co-write this letter and sensing each other’s minds meld in real time.
    We witnessed a mass transmit of big and medium-size data, of traffic patterns, of mood swings and bustling metrics. We cheered your names as they flew across the wire.
    There’s something weird, exciting, and fascinating about this massive transfer of information. You sent us stories about heavily networked cities and places beyond the reach of broadband.
    Some of these ideas heightened our hope for the future and the embracing of our devices. Others raised complex questions that we’re still pondering. But the bottom line is, good or bad, the information is out there – and more available than ever before. We are just starting to mine it for answers.
    This is our best shot at representing the zeitgeist of your amazing responses, a collection of thoughts from a 48-hour sprint in the year 2013. But this is just the starting block. There are so many more implications to discuss, more questions to dream up, more data to disseminate, more asteroids to explode. What happens from here is to be determined.

  3. THE HOUSE THAT TECH BUILT: TAKING YOUR CASTLE FROM CRUDE TO CONNECTED IS A LOT EASIER THAN YOU THINK

    By: Danny Dumas
    Just a few short years ago turning your domicile into a connected home was a maddening process wrought with tech that was pretty expensive and often unreliable. Now, thanks to advances in hardware, software, and mobile technology you can turn your homestead into more of a home base – complete with remote-operated locks, app-controlled lighting, and appliances that can be turned off from afar. Here’s how to upgrade your home for the 21stcentury.
