Matt Rogers<\/a>, founder & VP of Engineering at Nest,<\/a> gave a great talk on Revitalizing Unloved Devices at Designers + Geeks<\/a> last Thursday. For those of you who don’t know, Designers + Geeks is an open community for people interested in design, and features talks from experts on design, technology, start-ups, and all manner of geekery.<\/p>\n

In this talk, Matt talked about the reason why some industries became stagnant and what happened to those forgotten, unloved devices. He also shared his firsthand experiences in reinventing a whole product category and bringing desirability to one forgotten gadget, the thermostats.<\/p>\n
