MIT professor Yoel Fink on why tech companies keep running in the same direction
MIT professor Yoel Fink talks about why tech companies often end up building similar products. He points to glasses, headsets and watches as examples of companies moving in the same direction. His argument is that this kind of pattern can cause teams to miss other paths. For smart fabrics, Fink says the starting point should be the fact that humans already wear fibers every day. Clothing is already accepted on the body in a way that metal, glass and rigid devices are not. That makes fibers a practical place to explore sensors, computing and human-machine interfaces. submitted by /u/Responsible-Grass452 [link] [Kommentare] reddit.com · reddit.com
