Architecture is the mapping of function to form

→
#
>

Looking at a set of products and asking how many different architectures are there is a good way to determine if we have a shared idea of what falls under the scope of architecture

→
#
>

Different levels of granularity are acceptable, as long as they are backed by real architectural decisions

→
#
>

Does technology catalyze architectural change ?

→
#
>

Bruce Cameron seems to have researched this

→
#
>

Possible, but not required?

S curves

#
>

referencing Geoffrey Moore Crossing the chasm

→
#
>

The chasm is getting adoption past the “innovators” and “early adopters”, to the remaining 85%

→
#
>

Find where the industry is on the s curve

charted storage capacity over time

→
#
>

seems to resemble the s curve

→
#
>

but still the eventual diminishing return

#

Disruptive innovations

→
#
>

Worse on the existing dimensions of value, but win on a new dimension of value

→
#
>

eg

→
#
>

Google Docs vs Microsoft Office

→
#
>

Doesn’t necessarily require a change in architecture

→
#
>

Disruption can be hidden by market growth in the disrupted industry

→
#
>

Ice harvesting vs refrigeration

→
#
>

Existing players are often searching for incremental value

→
#
>

Disrupters are moving to a new dimension of value

→
#
>

Connectivity / IoT might be a place where we’ve seen minimal incremental value, but might see transformational value

→
#
>

I think the smart home will eventually head towards transformational value

→
#
>

Maybe allowing us to not have to be sole owners / residents of our homes?

→
#
>

reference The Innovator’s Dilemma Clay Christensen

→
#
>

create a new organizational structure to pursue new dimensions of value

→
#
>

the slope of the curve for disruptive technologies is often higher than of existing technologies

bringing in more note ideas

#
>

What would it be like if certain parts of government could operate like non-profits and accept donations?

→
#
>

We should encourage over-paying taxes

→
#
>

potentially this is better than donating to charity, since government has some accountability to be effective

→
#
>

whether we think that accountability actually works or not, right now
