Testing the IoT Waters: 1st Steps in Creating an IoT Corporate Strategy
What if you’re interested in the Internet of Things, but are a little scared of making a major commitment and making major expenditures until you build your familiarity level and start to enjoy some tangible results?
That concern is understandable, especially when prognosticators such as I emphasize what a transformational impact the IoT will have on every […]
Amazon Echo: is it the smart home Trojan Horse?
Could Amazon’s Echo be the Trojan Horse that gets the smart home and IoT inside our homes — and consciousness?
I’ve always suspected Amazon was critical to corporate adoption of e-commerce in the ’90s because so many C-level executives were introduced to the concept by doing online holiday shopping for their families. Just a hunch …
Fast forward to […]
Live Blogging from the IoT Global Summit
Keynotes:
Came in on end of presentation by Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-WA, co-chair of the House IoT Caucus and an IT industry vet. Her litany of federal inaction in the face of rapidly-evolving tech — especially regarding privacy protections, where the key law was enacted in 1986 — was really dispiriting, although it’s good to know […]
I’ll Speak Twice at Internet of Things Global Summit Next Week
I always love the Internet of Things Global Summit in DC because it’s the only IoT conference I know of that places equal emphasis on both IoT technology and public policy, especially on issues such as security and privacy.
At this year’s conference, on the 26th and 27th, I’ll speak twice, on “Smart Aging” and on the […]
AliveCor Mobile ECG: the IoT Can Save Your Life!
Got your attention? I find there’s nothing like the fear of death to focus one’s attention.
Somehow I managed to forget blogging about one of the real highlights of last Spring’s RE-WORK Connect Summit here in Boston: the AliveCor Mobile ECG.*
Perhaps the most important thing about the Mobile ECG is that it is not just a […]
Claro’s IoT Strategy Creation Guide: important in own right & symbolically
Some IoT advances are as important symbolically (especially as key steps in the IoT’s maturation) as in their own right.
I consider Claro Partners‘s new “A Guide to Succeeding in the Internet of Things” in that vein, both showing that it’s not just enough to create a whizbang IoT device or app — you need a […]
Free Citywide IoT Data Networks Will Catapult IoT Spread to Hyperspeed!
One of the truly exciting things about viral digital phenomena is how rapidly they can take hold, outstripping the slow, methodical spread of innovations in the pre-digital era. I suspect we may be on the verge of that happening again, with an unlikely impetus: the crowdsourced global movement to create free citywide IoT data networks.
We’re been […]
Boston Crowdsourced Campaign to Give City 1st Citywide Free IoT Data Network in US
You’ll remember I got quite excited while blogging the new citywide free IoT data network in Amsterdam, and decided on the spot to make Boston the first US city with such a network. Here’s our release!
Crowdsourced Campaign to Create Free Citywide IoT-Data Network in Boston
would be first city in US to share Internet of Things’ […]
The IoT Can Revolutionize Every Aspect of Small Farming
When the New York Times weighs in on an Internet of Things phenomenon, you know it’s about to achieve mainstream consciousness, and that’s now the case with what I like to call “precision agriculture,” enabled by a combination of IoT sensors in the fields and big data analysis tools.
The combination is potent and vital because an adequate supply of safe […]
Eureka! MYLE TAP: Nice Example of IoT Letting You Do Something You Couldn’t
I like to occasionally feature products that aren’t earth-shaking in their own right (such as the cameleon shoes that can change their appearance with the swipe of an app) , but nicely illustrate one of my IoT acid tests: what can you do that you couldn’t do before?
I love those, because they can get our […]
