posting so I can find it later. thinking about the sofa at Casa Jasmina, and the low likelihood that someone would want to plug a sofa into a power outlet, and then someone in Milan goes and suggests that that is exactly what we all want. so we should be looking at the seats supplied by Southwest Airlines at their airport gates. but what about the data that the sofa would/could gather? what kind of data services should that sofa provide? is there such a thing as a soft and flexible Printed Circuit Board that would have an onboard IoT server? and in the IoOOOT framework, would the sofa want data? if so, what kind? and what kind of sofa society would arise from sofas communicating? and how are we equipped to help that society?
