IoT Training in Indira Nagar

Scope Of IoT

• Tough one, there’s already six really great answers about why the scope of Internet of Things will be bigger than anything we’ve ever seen, so I’m going to try to speak about the future of it.
• The Internet of Things is going to create some major upheavals in how we consume and think about technology. With absolutely everything becoming connected, we’re going to see some fundamental changes in how we interact with the world, for example:
• Humans are going to move from being primary production agents to becoming primary consumption agents.
• The way the internet is currently set up, the vast majority of content on the net is human generated. Whether we’re uploading videos, writing, or whatever we’re doing. We’re the ones who generate the content.
• There’s a lot of really interesting second and third order effects to this - for one, it means that the internet doesn’t have any kind of objective view of the world - at best, it has an amalgamated set of subjective views, from which it can tease out what the real world is like.
• IoT is going to give the net a more objective way of gathering data, meaning that the conclusions that will be drawn by AI and Machine Learning algorithms are potentially going to be very different from what we expect.
• It’s also going to mean that the scale and quality of decisions being made by virtual agents is going to become an order of magnitude better than it is today.
• From the current writing, it’s pretty clear that exactly how that will look, even in the next 20 years is an known unknown to us, right now we can’t see what it’ll mean.

Data and computing are going to become completely ambient

• The scale of data and devices around us are going to become overwhelming.
• To the point where two or three generations down the line, it may be hard to explain what the “internet” even is.
• People will understand that it’s basic infrastructure like electricity, but beyond that, who knows?
• Literally everything will be generating data, reviewing insights and feeding it back into your environment.
• For example, this means that your wardrobe will work with the rest of your home and weather systems provided by third parties, so when you get dressed in the morning, the “suggested outfit” will be something warm enough for your home, your car and your office (depending on your itinerary), but will need to be supplemented with a jacket if you plan to go anywhere warm (depending on your dress sense).
• All of this will be ambient to you - it’ll just be there. You won’t have to put in any data (apart from allowing your home apps to access this), you’ll just have to live life.

Jobs, and the nature of work are going to change

• One of the third order effects of ambient data is that there will be a change the jobs needed - especially around the consumer.
• Much like we have personal financial advisors today, who help to tailor investment to one’s net worth and personal risk profile, we’ll be needing very much the same for someones personal data.
• In a world where people are able to sign into a hotel, for example, and their entire “home profile” can be pulled off the cloud to suit their room to their needs, it’s more than likely that the data that tells people about that room will need to be tailored.
• Tailor Swift, for example, could have a team of data scientists who are focused on making sure that her rooms are the exact shade of Periwinkle Blue that she likes when she goes on tour.
• It will mean that marketers - among others - will become more valuable, since their role of understanding large markets, and targeted people in general will be transferable to other roles. I personally think that a market/psychology hybrid will be in huge demand over the next 20 years.

Ownership will change

• Related to the above example, being able to customize a room based on someone’s cloud preferences effectively means that the person no longer needs to own the room.
• Much like music ownership has become a commodity (and even undesirable in some markets), physical spaces will probably require access instead of ownership. This is going to be a huge change in how we think about things culturally - owning a home is still a status symbol in many markets.

There are huge changes ahead for how we think about the future - and this is only from a social vantage point. There are also massive changes for how we think about architecting solutions to be IoT friendly and to better integrate with the world around us.
