Hello,

As Kelsey Breseman says in an interview with O'Reilly Radar, when
our devices are smarter, they will enable us to "stop interacting with
our devices, stop staring at screens, and start looking at each other,
start talking to each other again."

Get the newest report from the O'Reilly Radar, 'Building a Solid
World', and learn more about Frictionless Manufacturing, APIs for the
Physical World,Software Above the Level of a Single Device, and Design
Beyond the Screen. Download your free copy.
