2: The Internet of Things

Published: Sept. 1, 2020, 11:43 p.m.

'She Talks Tech' podcast brings you stories, lessons and tips from some of the top women (and men!) in tech.

Today we hear from Canadian-Italian author, consultant, public speaker and entrepreneur Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino in her session about the Internet of Things. Alessandro co-founded Tinker London, the first UK distributor of Arduino, the open source electronics education platform. Her products are included in the permanent collection of the London Design Museum and the Museum of Modern Art in New York as examples of the internet of things. She was named in the Top 100 Influential Tech Women on Twitter in 2014 and has been included in the longlist of Computer Weekly’s Most Influential Women in Tech in the UK.

Alessandro talks about the lessons learnt from a post-hype world of connected physical and digital experiences, what ethics and security concerns have cropped up and how they might shape what comes next.
