The Importance of Patterns in the Internet of Things

I think one of the biggest challenges we have as designers are creating patterns that make sense for people. I mean, there's a principle of robustness that you're gonna use too with things that the internet of things is still catching up with. So it's like, first be a good door lock and then figure out how to use technology to add a layer of magic to it. The layer of magic is really exciting, but if it causes the thing to break, then it doesn't matter you're standing outside and it's 10 degrees and your baby's screaming at you and your life is a failure at that moment.
