Proposing MIT as Premier Technology Testbed
• An orchestrated MIT-wide Initiative to attract Companies & Labs deploying latest prototypes & products in a “Tech Testbed”
• MIT-generally & Sloan students specifically as an “Early-Adoptor Microcosm”
• Allowing MIT faculty to do rigorous social science, observing usage patterns, adoption rates, social networks, and more
• If not a testbed, at least new product showcase!

Being a Tech Testbed
• Deploying latest prototypes, devices, etc AND tracking actual usage patterns
• Sourcing devices & systems from both MIT Labs and corporate partners
• Serving as “Neutral Ground” for cross-comparison
• Clearly useful for “Consumer InfoTech”, but not limited to it
