Hardware is becoming a commodity. This is shaping and changing our present in more ways than we realize. Peter Kaptein from The Roomware Project is presenting the possible future of the next 5 to 10 years at Next10, on May 12, 2010. From a very humane point of view he will summarize the trends that have shown up in the past years.

Hardware is becoming a commodity. Complex machines and powerful electronics that might have cost several thousands of euro's can now be bought for a fraction of that price.

This development is creating new trends and new shifts in the fields of energy, wireless communication, the production of goods and foods and the so-called "Smart Spaces" which are part of the Roomware Project.

Taking these trends, Peter Kaptein from The Roomware Project will look at the possibilities people are getting for an increase of control, independence and quality in their personal life.

Taking Smart Spaces and domotica, Kaptein will focus on the fields that matter: improving the quality of life for people with disabilities and increasing safety on hazardous places.

Topics are:
- Trends in the next 5 to 10 years
- Do It Yourself Energy
- Do it yourself fabrication (Fablabs, return of craftmenship)
- Domotica and Smart Spaces
- New possibilities due to the increasing speed of wireless networks
- The possible next step for mobile phones: replacing our laptop as a thin client
- Increase in quality of products and goods
- Increase in quality of life
- Increase in safety
- Relevance
