The Age of Networked Matter

How Interconnecting Everything Will Transform Our World


Technology Horizons—Spring 2013 Research Exchange (Members Only)

Join us for an open and collaborative two-day experience to immerse yourself in the forecasts, identify strategic insights for you and your organization, get hands-on practice with emerging tools, and engage with a network of technology innovators. We will look at the emerging technologies in computation, sensing and actuation, wireless, materials science, and even biology that will underpin the coming Age of Networked Matter. Moving closer and closer into this age, we will interact with creators as they reimagine and reinvent the context and meaning of our lives whether it is at home, work, community, or even our bodies.

At the conference, we will introduce a map exploring the impending weirdness that will ensue in the new age of networked matter, identifying transformations and disruptions at the intersection of creators, context, and computation.
