The theme of this proposal is:

How can the IOT make a difference for SOCIETY? How can we unite people, make them happier, healthier and make cities safer, cleaner and greener with smart applications of IOT technology?

SOCIETY.

Perhaps we need a new theory of smart and networked products to help us guide how we think about them?

IoT is an arrangement of material actants—nonhuman, computational agents—that participate actively in daily life (DiSalvo, 2016).

Objects are capable of gathering, processing, displaying, transmitting and/or taking action on information.

The system must be adaptable to the different kind of user because each person may have different types of behavior, characteristics, knowledge, skills and interest. Therefore, it is useful to design a system that is able to understand the type of user. There may be people with special skills and practices and they seeking assistance with their activities, someone who has a general knowledge and wants to improve his knowledge during the process or others who need a real support of help to make the activity easy and safe.
