Maria | Tom Igoe interview

I think that it's effective to have a hands-on approach to physical computing in order to better understand the hardware. The concept should drive the technology to make the piece stronger overall,  it also helps when dealing with troubleshooting problems. I disagree that art cannot bring anything important to physical computing, it can if the concept is strong. Collaboration is definitely important, and creating your own business does give one more power over how to create and at what price their product can be sold at. Collaborating can be the hardest part when communication between partners is not strong, so once that's done the planning stage to how whatever it is that needs to be done is what will determine who will do what jobs in that collaboration.
