Tim O'Reilly

Design and UI for the Sensor-Enabled World

An archive, in reverse chronological order, of essays, interviews, and talks relating to design and UI for the sensor-enabled world.

Tim O’Reilly Says Don’t Eat the Ecosystem, a Lesson for Voice Platforms (Interview on the VoiceFirst Roundtable podcast with host Bradley Metrock, September 2017).

"The book is really a meditation on what we learn from the great technology platforms about the future of the economy. And one of the key things that we learn is that these platforms… can’t just serve their users. They have to actually create a rich ecosystem of suppliers."
