According to a recent paper published in the Portuguese academic journal, OBS, the single most striking element explaining the difficulty in the discovery and implementation of new business models for the media in the digital age, is the declining value of information in the networked society.

Vehicles are collecting scads of data about the cars, their drivers, their locations, and their driving habits, as they become increasingly dependent upon cloud services and loaded down with code, processors and devices. Continue reading… “Auto industry trying to solve IoT privacy concerns”
The industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is the next wave of innovation about to wash over the connected world. Continue reading… “Industrial internet of things taking shape”
In some instances, new technology is only available to the wealthiest people or the largest businesses at first, before slowly filtering down to the rest of the populace. In other instances, it seems to be everywhere at once. Continue reading… “Top 5 African sectors ready to be taken over by IoT”
North Carolina State University (NCSU) researchers have created, using electrochemistry, a reconfigurable, voltage-controlled liquid metal antenna that may play a role in future mobile devices and the coming Internet of Things. Continue reading… “Tunable voltage-controlled liquid metal antenna”
Futurist Thomas Frey: What if the things you were thinking about buying already knew you were considering a purchase? Much like going on a date, where the person you were dating wanted to look their best for you, what if the product went through a similar process, primping it’s hair and donning an inviting smile to present itself in the best possible light? Continue reading… “When the “Things” we buy know more about us than we know about them”
A lot of us have started to take it for granted that we’re surrounded by sensors that are connected to the Internet. Smartphones are packed with these sensors motion, orientation, and various environmental conditions are recorded by these sensors. Continue reading… “Coming soon to an airline near you, the internet of things”
Jonathan Vaux from Visa says that soon we’re all going to be buying things with our fridge. Continue reading… “Visa: we’re all going to have internet-connected fridges in the future”
It’s probably worth paying attention when Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates all agree on something. All three have been waring us of the potential dangers that come with artificial intelligence. Continue reading… “What will happen when AI meets the internet of things?”
In the near future most everything could be “connected”. Image that every bottle of shampoo, detergent, and medication container, there was a wireless sensor attached to the bottom. These sensors could tell you how much product is left and trigger a replacement order once it gets to 10% full or approaches its expiration date. Continue reading… “The internet of things could turn any product into a service”
Rapidly declining costs of sensors is one of the major factors in the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) —the networking of the physical world within existing Internet infrastructure. Continue reading… “The Internet of Things growing with help from declining sensor costs”
The startup called Spark is building a microcontroller for connected devices.
Billions of devices, from forks to jet engines, are already connected to the internet. All signs point to a huge surge in the years to come. For example, Cisco, predicts 21 billion of them in 2018, up from 13 billion in 2013. But despite those numbers, the companies that will be storing all that device data are less concerned sheer volume and more concerned about making it usable.
Continue reading… “The Internet of Things isn’t set to unleash a deluge of data… yet”
By delving into the futuring techniques of Futurist Thomas Frey, you’ll embark on an enlightening journey.
