Eric Skiff discusses the concept of a "pluggable culture" where complex functionality can be achieved through simple APIs that allow various pieces and components to be easily plugged together. He provides examples like Arduino and Makerbot that allow non-engineers to create interactive art and 3D printed objects. Skiff argues that today's students intuitively understand how to identify and plug together various technical pieces from platforms like Twilio, Venmo, and Amazon AWS to quickly build applications without needing to develop all the components from scratch.

USB plug, pins for connecting sensors, leds, etc easilyPersonal Robot arm storyOpen source - Feedback loop helps it evolve
Ardunio lets artists build in interactivity without engineersBreathing bools, LED projects, painting robotsLilypad in centerAlicia’s thesisGood for artists, also great form makers
Started with ardunio, powers x/y/z, extruderNot engineers
3 years ago…Had to make user classStrong argument for plugging in FBC and Getting users data, connections, etc
The big bird in the roomYou used to have to deal with email, seo & more to attempt to get your users to shareNow you can plug in twitter, and distribute to your users networks
