Berg has for a while explored speculative product experiences in the vein of Dunne & Raby (1) - though being design consultants, Berg's work tends to be optimistic. D&R embrace the dystopian aspects of future products, and I think they'd enjoy this conversation that's cropped up around what happens when connected objects lose their parents. (Especially when the objects are personified!) Hopefully Berg appreciates their inadvertent final contribution as well.

Does the Internet of Things need a federated model to be as trustworthy and successful as Internet classic?
