DESCRIPTION:The Internet of Things is coming\, which promises everything f
 rom tweeting toasters to networked medical devices.  However\, none of the
 se puts the *user* at the centre of their 'digital life'.  Typically\, eac
 h new device comes with the requirement to subscribe to yet-another cloud 
 service which invariably makes its money by aggregating and selling user d
 ata.\n\nWe're creating software to allow users to form their own personal 
 cloud of connected devices.  Like having your own internet.  This puts the
  user back at the centre of their network while allowing the software crea
 tors to come up with more innovative products.\n\nIn this talk\, I'll brie
 fly describe the Internet of Things as I see it\, the issues with the inte
 rnet today and also the software we're creating to enable personal clouds.
