Keynote I: Consumer electronics in the age of the Internet

Consumer Electronics has long been about connected things going back to the days of radio and television and to component Hi-Fi systems. The Internet and, more to the point, the Internet of Things represents a fundamental shift from creating value in hardware to creating value using software. This fundamental shift challenges industries and public policies. Value is created outside of networks using generic hardware and computing. Systems design is also changing as we shift from designing whole systems to building devices that have constantly shifting relationships. In this talk I will share my half century of experience in the midst of this transformation and look ahead to how to design systems for a connected world.
