This document discusses connected products and the importance of context. It notes that as products become more connected through technologies like the Internet of Things, consideration must be given to where smart capabilities are placed. Products should solve problems from the beginning and connectivity should not be the primary selling point but rather how it creates a better product. The document urges those developing connected products to be mindful of these strategies.

think about things as
electrical products.
