Penelope Phippen (formerly known as Sam Phippen) from Digital Ocean kicks off ThingMonk 2016 by taking us on a journey through time. The talk discusses how technology has been relevant to human development for 400.000 years, and goes on to imagine how current IOT coders and developers are at the cutting edge of our ongoing progress.
