Exponential trends are hard to see ..
Imagine a magic pipette such that every drop of water that comes out of it will double in size every
minute. This is an example of exponential growth. Now, imagine that you dropped the first magic drop
from this magic pipette in the middle of a large stadium (such as the Wembley Stadium in London)
at 12pm. How much time would this drop take to flood the whole stadium right to the very top seat?
(considering exponential growth i.e. the first minute there is one drop, the second minute there are two
drops, the third minute four drops, the fourth minute eight drops and so on).
The answer is at 12:49pm i.e. less than 50 minutes to fill a whole football stadium with water. But even
more interestingly, even as late as 12:45pm, the stadium is still 93% empty. Thus, the water fills the
stadium only in the last 4 minutes.
So, for a vast majority of the time, you would see nothing since the water is „below the grass.‟ Then in the
last four minutes, you will drown even if you sat at the topmost seat of the stadium.

3. PlanIT Valley, Portugal
The first city to be designed like software – complete with its own “Urban OS” – is
slated to break ground this year in the hills outside Porto. brainchild of software
startup Living PlanIT, plans call for 150,000 residents, nearly all of whom will be its
partners‟ employees. In turn, they‟ll be expected to experiment on themselves.
Buildings, sensors, and services alike will be connected through the cloud, and
obsolete buildings will be “decommissioned”

Scheduled to break ground next year, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev‟s pet
project is his country‟s second attempt to build its own Silicon Valley – the Soviet-era
version didn‟t work out so well. “Technopolis Skolkovo‟s” centerpiece will be the
campus of the Moscow School of Management .In June, Cisco pledged to invest $1
billion in the project and establish Skolkovo as Russia‟s first smart city, focused on
smart grids, transportation, education, and health care.

5. Masdar, United Arab Emirates
Masdar is low-tech in its design, according to The Guardian's Rowan Moore: “The Masdar plan
has been accused of being gated and exclusive. It is not, although there is something spooky
in the controls it employs in the name of the environment – a touch of eco-Orwell or at least
eco-Huxley. A hidden brain, for example, knows when you enter your building, so that your flat
can be cooled before you arrive, while in public places flat screens broadcast uplifting news
on the environmental performance of the complex.”

6. Wuxi, China
“Little Shanghai” is the epicenter of China‟s evolving strategy to own the Internet
of Things, an effort which kicked into high gear this summer after Chinese
premier Wen Jiabao gave a speech in the city in which he offered the equation
“Internet + Internet of Things = Wisdom of the Earth.” China appears ready to win
the smart city market as surely as its manufacturers conquered solar panels.

7. King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia
Rising from the sands near Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City – abbreviated KAEC,
pronounced “cake” – is just one of four new instant cities explicitly intended create a million-
plus jobs and to house nearly half of the 10 million Saudis under the age of 17 -- a largely
uneducated workforce described as a “human time bomb.” To that end, KAEC was conceived as
Saudi Arabia‟s Silicon Valley (along with a port expected to open next year). KAEC‟s developers
have promised a smart city that is “7-24-60,” as in services are ready to go 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, and are ready within 60 minutes.

9. Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
IBM dispatched a SWAT team of executives to Vietnam‟s largest city this year
on a mission to develop a strategy for upgrading the city‟s infrastructure. The
plan is to create a software model capable of predicting when the city‟s
busiest thoroughfares will clog with motorbikes – so the city can change
traffic signals as needed or dispatch extra traffic cops to the scene.

For example:
For Microsoft, convergence is a software problem: to be solved using an upgrade of the windows
operating system (Microsoft‟s strength). Intel sees convergence as a „microprocessor problem‟, -
Intel inside everything! Cisco sees convergence as a home networking problem, to be solved with ..
guess what .. networking! Translated to video conferences Yahoo and Google see convergence as
an online services problem. To them, the solution lies through the web browser – a common element
in all devices. Sony sees convergence as a consumer hardware problem, to be solved with
consumer devices, new standards built around its own strengths like the playstation Handset
vendors: Nokia, Google, Samsung etc all look at the device
as the on ramp to convergence ..

Instrumentation (recording of data) is not enough ..
In Star Trek, “tricorders” are handheld devices used for sensor scanning, data analysis
and recording data. A company called Vital Technologies intentionally replicated it in the
mid-90s with a device that it called the TR-107 Mark 1. Like its fictional counterpart, the
device included several scientific functions such as an electromagnetic field meter,
thermometer, barometer and light meter. the company sold about 10,000 of these units
before it went out of business.

There are now hundreds of radiation-related feeds from Japan on Pachube,
monitoring conditions in realtime and underpinning more than half a dozen
incredibly valuable applications built by people around the world. They combine
'official' data, 'unofficial' official data, and, most importantly to us, realtime
networked Geiger counter measurements contributed by concerned citizens.
Now we're even seeing some tracking radiation measurements of tap water.

Project Description Lessons learnt
#01 Neighbourly Living in
Geuzenveld
Over five hundred Smart Meters
installed in the New West
district (Geuzenveld) and 60
connected in-home energy-
feedback displays give
customers insight into their
energy consumption. A user
participation programme
enables neighbours to interact
with one another by discussing
sustainability topics.
The most important lesson
learnt in terms of the
engagement of the residents in
the neighbourhood is that the
use of local influentials to create
awareness for the project and
to generate support is
necessary to succeed.
#02 West Orange
500 households in Amsterdam
are testing innovative energy
feedback displays which are
connected to a smart meter.
An important question which
keeps occurring is: what is the
best way of establishing an
effective collaboration between
nine partners that all
have their own objectives?

#03 eManagement Haarlem
250 Households in Haarlem
were offered to test an energy
management system over a
four-month period to obtain
insight into the energy
consumption patterns of a
number of domestic appliances.
The participants‟ clicking
behaviour revealed that, on
average, they check
into their portals every 2.3 days.
#04 Onze Energie
Onze Energie (Our Energy) is
an initiative to collectively
finance seven windmills.
Collective financing is intended
to break the barrier of high
investment costs for consumers
wishing to generate their own
energy.
It takes time to explain the need
for sustainable energy properly.
Windmills apparently have a
negative perception, people
think it is expensive and
unprofitable.

#06 ITO Tower
Collecting, analyzing and
visualizing energy consumption
will help to make the modern
and prestigious ITO Tower to be
even more energy
efficient.
The precondition for the
successful implementation of an
energy management system is
an engaged and properly trained
facility manager. A bit surprising
was the fact that the building
manager was rather
reluctant to the initiatives at the
beginning
#07 Monumental Buildings
Supporting monumental
buildings in Amsterdam inthe
process of becoming more
sustainable makes it possible to
learn more and analyze the
opportunities of this large target
group in Amsterdam.
The meaning of sustainability on
monuments is interpreted
differently by
stakeholders.

#08 Decentral Generation:
Fuel Cell Technology
Introducing a 21st century
technology in a 17th century
monumental building will
reduce CO2 emissions by
50%. Using this innovative
local energygeneration
technology will enable the
building to provide in its own
electricity.
It took more than six months to
set up a suitable consortium
consisting of different partners
with a shared interest that
transcended their individual
interests. It transpired however
that the six-month period was
needed for the group to be able
to concretize the idea, the
partnership, the role division, and
potential follow-up steps.
#12 Moet je Watt
The New Motion develops
electrical charging points for

#11 Ship to grid
One hundred and ninetyfive ship
to grid electricity points are
being installed in the Amsterdam
harbour. The ship to grid system
will reduce CO2 emissions,
noise pollution and air pollution.
In the ship to grid project there
where many stakeholders
involved form the municipality
but also from several service
providers. Cooperation between
these different parties is
essential. Unfortunately the level
of commitment from all these
organisations differs. Therefore
it is recommended to organize a
project like this in a top down
manner.
#13 Klimaatstraat
The Klimaatstraat (Climate
street) is a holistic concept for
shopping streets with a focus on
a number of different aspects:
public space,
logistics and entrepreneurial
spaces.
Face to face communication
with the entrepreneurs is
essential in all the projects in
which the user of the technology
has a major influence on the
energy saving potential.

Project Description Lessons learnt
#14 Smart Schools Contest
Six primary schools in
Amsterdam joined a contest to
determine who can save the
biggest amount of energy. During
the contest they are provided
with a specially developed
teaching programme and an
online energy portal. At the same
time, the children also learn
about energy and energy saving
in a playful way.
To ensure that the teaching
programme associated with the
competition can be effectively
incorporated into the syllabus, it
is important for the participating
schools to be recruited in the
year prior to the school year in
which the competition will take
place and not in the course of
the current school year.
#16 Swimming Pools
By linking up swimming pools in
the region with sustainable
initiatives, those public spaces
learn how to use energy in a
smarter way.
After a few months of introducing
Heatsavr to different swimming
pools we can say that there is
many interest in Heatsavr.
However, almost no pool is
prepared to participate until the
system has been approved by
the controlling organisations.

Autotelic personality and ant colonies
0
Autotelic is defined by one "having a purpose in and not apart from itself". It is a broad
term that can be applied to missionaries, scientists, and innumerable other vocations.
Autotelic is used to describe people who are internally driven, and as such may exhibit
a sense of purpose and curiosity. This determination is an exclusive difference from
being externally driven, where things such as comfort, money, power, or fame are the
motivating force.
