Points were raised that many features were important. For example the ‘smart objects’ view is a less sensor-centric view, where the</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: The Features of IoT</title><link>https://community.element14.com/technologies/internet-of-things/b/blog/posts/the-features-of-iot</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2016 10:35:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a9094db7-ab27-4eb7-a7b2-78cfe23cb574</guid><dc:creator>elydreng</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;great post, shabaz!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;nice pictures and good text - i clearly understood all what you wrote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;what about Iot Achilles Heel?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;i mean&lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://vironit.com/iot-achilles-heels/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt; some like what &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19270&amp;AppID=27&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: The Features of IoT</title><link>https://community.element14.com/technologies/internet-of-things/b/blog/posts/the-features-of-iot</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 2014 20:18:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a9094db7-ab27-4eb7-a7b2-78cfe23cb574</guid><dc:creator>DAB</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Very good detailed update.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;DAB&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19270&amp;AppID=27&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: The Features of IoT</title><link>https://community.element14.com/technologies/internet-of-things/b/blog/posts/the-features-of-iot</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 2014 14:59:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a9094db7-ab27-4eb7-a7b2-78cfe23cb574</guid><dc:creator>e14 Contributor</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><description>&lt;p&gt;Very good post Shabaz!
