ThingMonk 2015: Andy Stanford-Clark and Laura Cowen – The Ambient Kettle

If kettles could talk what would they say? Laura Cowen keeps in touch with her mum just by knowing when she’s put on the kettle, no need for WhatsApp or a phone call. A talk about human emotions, empathy and hacking kitchen appliances. Andy Stanford-Clark is the IBM master innventor hovering in the foreground. The presentation is well shonky because it’s running on a raspberry pie powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.
