IoT International Forum - Working Group Societal - Session report

The Internet of Things is a horizontal operation that will influence and change society like the book and the web has done. The difference is that this time many stakeholders are involved in shaping it: traditional policymakers and innovators, big industry and startup SME, philosophers and designers and an evergrowing group of individual actors with web and cheap hardware tools. Together we have to debate the most productive balance between top down and bottom up in issues such as privacy, security, energy and solidarity.
