The Internet of Things 2014 [Slideshare]  Responding to her Friday morning alarm, Stacey gets out of bed.

Simultaneously, items throughout her house begin preparing for the day. Although it is cloudy outside, the interior is lighted with tones of a beautiful sunrise, per Stacey's personalized lighting scheme. The water heater makes sure the shower will be to her preference. When she enters the bathroom, her motion starts coffee brewing and breakfast cooking in the microwave. As Stacey eats breakfast, her caloric intake is monitored. Before she leaves, Stacey thinks about dinner. Stacey gets in her car which has already been brought to her ideal interior temperature.

When Stacey arrives at work, she glances at her large office display and sees that all plant processes are functioning normally. Why the Internet of Things Is Primed for Take-Off in 2015.

“If you don’t take advantage of [the Internet of Things],” says Kevin Ashton, “your competitor will, and it will put you out of business.” Ashton knows firsthand what the Internet of Things (IoT) can do for an organization, having coined the term more than a decade ago when he was what he calls a “fairly junior manager” at Procter & Gamble. As he explains, they couldn’t keep certain products on the shelves; they needed computers to track items. The solution, radio-frequency identification (RFID), is now mainstream technology. But the processes related to IoT aren’t, and that, the experts say, is where the danger lies. “It’s not the devices,” stresses Frank Burkitt, senior executive advisor at Strategy&. IoT is a “Niagara Falls of information,” but it’s a “gradual, step-by-step process.

Ashton agrees, citing retail as a classic example. IoT: le aziende sono pronte per un Business da trilioni di Dollari? [INFOGRAFICA] Le aziende sono pronte ad affrontare il business multi-milionario dell'Internet of Things?

La sezione Digital ha affrontato più volte l’agormento Internet Of Things, analizzandone tutte le implicazioni ed i differenti campi di riferimento (marketing, ratail, analytics, smart-home, ecc.) ma non abbiamo mai (finora) toccato uno degli argomenti maggiormente importanti legati a questo “nuovo” business: il giro di affari multi-milionario che genererà. Il business generato dall’IoT (volume d’affari vero o presunto che sia) è sicuramente uno degli argomenti più interessanti degli ultimi anni. Preparing for the 'Internet of Things' Data Deluge By @Infobright. Preparing Enterprise Infrastructures for the IoT Data Deluge One of the biggest impacts of the Internet of Things is and will continue to be on data; specifically data volume, management and usage.

Companies are scrambling to adapt to this new and unpredictable data reality with legacy infrastructure that cannot handle the speed and volume of data. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Don DeLoach, CEO and president of Infobright, will discuss how companies need to rethink their data infrastructure to participate in the IoT, including: Data storage: Understanding the kinds of data: structured, unstructured, big/small? Analytics: What kinds and how responsive do you need to be? Speaker Bio Don DeLoach is CEO and president of Infobright.

Computing power is becoming more powerful, and is being used to record our everyday activities in ways that were never imagined even ten years ago. This explosion of data can provide a better experience for all of us, but at the same time, it puts the minutia of our lives on the Internet, where it could potentially be seen by anyone. Welcome to the Internet of things. From watches to toothbrushes, thermostats to refrigerators, tech companies are encouraging us to record our activities and send the data up into the cloud, where they can look at it and optimize our experiences. Due to how cheap and available technology is, it is easy to incorporate it into the most mundane aspects of our lives. Internet of Things. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices.

Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. The term “Internet of Things” was first documented by a British visionary, Kevin Ashton, in 1999.[1] Typically, IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications.[2] The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a Smart Grid.[3] Early history[edit]

Welcome to Forbes. Connected Phone, Connected House, Connected Car...Connected Body? LONDON, February 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Internet of Things evolves and becomes the Internet of Us, security expert Kaspersky Lab has teamed up with Swedish bio-hacking community BioNyfiken to uncover the realities of connecting our bodies to the Internet Once confined to Hollywood blockbusters and sci-fi novels, in 2015, the number of humans upgraded by technological devices is increasing in number.

Thanks to the invention and wide-spread adoption of implantable aids such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, hearing aids and deep brain stimulation systems, the world is filling with humans who could be considered part machine. But recent media reports describe another breed of upgraded human, people who implant technology in their bodies not for medical reasons, but simply because of greater convenience in everyday life; people with smart implants that allow them to control door locks, make purchases and gain access to computer systems with the wave of a hand.

All three have warned of the potential dangers that artificial intelligence or AI can bring. The world’s foremost physicist, Hawking said that the full development of artificial intelligence (AI) could “spell the end of the human race”. Musk, the tech entrepreneur who brought us PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX described artificial intelligence as our “biggest existential threat” and said that playing around with AI was like “summoning the demon”. Gates, who knows a thing or two about tech, puts himself in the “concerned” camp when it comes to machines becoming too intelligent for us humans to control.
