Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT has been the new drum beat that everyone is beating to. Businesses need a new drum beat once every decade or so to energize producers and excite consumers. The last drum beat was Cloud/SAAS/Virtualization, which is near the point of the curve where the 2nd derivative is negative (transition from early to mature).
With IoT being crowned by all (cloud infrastructure provider, device producer, data analytics/big data producer), let's examine why this is so universal.
IoT will enable anything to:
1. connect - communicate & control
2. measure - input from sensors
3. collect -from existing sensors or sensorless sources
4. analyze - measurements are collected, transmitted, analyzed, then driven out
5. drive - output & feedback
Everyone will benefit. Semiconductors, analytics, cloud infrastructure. But do consumers want everything to be connected? Is there only limited application for IoT (machine 2 machine, industrial, medical, ...)? Or will this be a quiet revolution (despite the noise)?
