With the powers that be continuing to expand their use of sensors to monitor our every action as we move about in the world, it’s nice to encounter a product that lets us do the same inside our own homes. 

Twine is an inexpensive, customizable little box that can be rigged to monitor your home for various changes or actions, and alert you when they happen. It debuted in 2011 as a Kickstarter project, and became a fully funded reality in early 2012. For the full article see Review: Twine by Supermechanical | Wired.com.

Is Shodan Really the World’s Most Dangerous Search Engine? | VICE UK

At this point, people probably associate the internet with wasting time more than they do with saving it. But as we get ever-lazier, we’re figuring out to use the internet to do things like connect garage doors to the internet, set temperature levels on fridges, do timed shut-downs on wireless routers and basically make it possible to control every element of domestic life from a phone app. All of these devices need to be on the internet to operate and Shodan – a privately developed search engine – has been busy sniffing them out.

“For the full potential of the Internet of Things to be realized, however, cloud computing is fundamental. The whole idea behind the connected objects is that the data they collect is mostly streamed online, so that applications can gather, parse, and act on this data efficiently….The cloud is the natural home for these applications.”

The Promise And Peril Of Big Data | Co.Exist: World changing ideas and innovation

“From health care to city management, we hold out a lot of hope for data–and even more, “Big Data”–to fix our problems. And, in many cases, it surely will. But the perils of personal information being freely available to all–from fraud, to identity theft, to authoritarian intrusion–are also clear. Data is a double-edged sword that’s just as likely to deprive us of our individualism, as serve up the perfect, and personalized, 21st-century solution.”
