During his recent visit to talk with members of the Telecom Industry Association, MJ was interviewed about cyborg anthropology, digital business platforms, innovation and the Social Network of Things. In this nine minute video, he unpacks some of the core concepts, opportunities and challenges that we are engaging with in our current work:
- What is the Social Network of Things, and why is it important?
- What does it mean to move from IT as a utility to informatics as a capability?
- How do shifts in how technology is used—and what it's capable of—change the way companies do business with each other and with their customers?
"The Social Network of Things is the next evolution of The Internet of Things," said MJ Petroni, Founder of Causeit Inc. and Cyborg Anthropologist in Residence at NTT. Watch the interview with Petroni that followed the TIA advisory group meeting leading up to the TIA 2015 conference on June 2-5, 2015 in Dallas, TX.
