Great Post!

I like to believe that the world is genuinely a good place and that through our powers of information we will be able to launch humanity into an age of great prosperity and innovation. With the average person being much more intelligent and more involved with their direct environment, as well as having a global perspective. Through super efficient and distributed food and energy production we can live in a world where everyone can print their own clothes and grow their own food using raw materials either recycled or grown in and around their own homes. Think its a crazy thought? Look back a few hundred years and tell me its not possible. This is where we come from. Since when did growing your own food become ill-conceived? We now have the tools and the drive to make it one hundred times better than it ever was for our ancestors. The internet of things will be the web that weaves it all together!

One Love!

Hi Inderpreet,

Nice article - I can see you've had fun thinking about technology!

It is not easy - looking in the future technology-wise is very hard.

Although the uses for IoT for certain industries are a lot easier to see, for example it is clear that vehicles can be better maintained if diagnostics can be analyzed regularly and automatically instead of a yearly vehicle check. Or the advantages of being able to know how long customers (without identifying them) are spending in a retail store looking at the stock you want to sell.

And plenty of other cool opportunities. Definitely interesting times. : )

Nice summary.

I still worry about potential abuse of the data.

But I am probably just paranoid.
