What’s the Internet?
No, seriouslyThe Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that link several billion devices worldwide.
Any device can communicate with any other device.Through a series of
tubes!

“We need to [...] enable computers to observe, identify and understand the world—without the limitations of human-entered data.”
- Kevin AshtonRFID Journal, June 2009
Again, seriously
Procter & Gamble●owns and operates ~80 brands●$84 billion in revenue (2014)
If computers understand the world,they can understand the supply chain,they can save P&G billions!
Internet of Things ‘99
●time/place of production●what gets put inside●when/how it gets to store shelf●when it is purchased & by whom●whose medicine cabinet it is in●handling during
recycling/disposal

Computers shouldn’t depend on humans in order to understand the
real world!
Cut out all the humans!But then how do computers
detect:
●a product on a store shelf?●a wireless light bulb in a room?●a person’s presence in the
room?
to create smart, efficient, magical experiences?
If spaces can detect who/what is present, that information can be shared wherever it’s needed.
Through a series of tubes!
●detects client with peanut allergy
●detects food containers labeled with peanut-allergy warning
●detects that client’s waiter
Computers alone can automatically do all the work for the waiter to present only safe menu items to the client.

China: 1.35 Billion people●turn off lights, A/C when any
room is vacant: conserve energy●real-time transit scheduling and
ride-sharing: reduce pollution●optimal recycling of all
consumer goods: reduce waste
Not nearly a novelty!
Scarcity of resources means that human civilization can only continue to grow through optimisations and efficiencies.
The IoT must happen
Until it expands beyond our planet, but honestly, IoT is more realistic today...
reelyActive + IoT

We’re moving from a world of
Smart devices in dumb spaces
to a world of
dumb devices in Smart Spaces
BarriersTechnology is no longer the barrier as it was back in ‘99.
Ask any major corporation today, and they’ll say it’s privacy.
RecapBillions of Things “joining” the Internet
Internet of Things allows computers to understand the world (without humans)
Smart Spaces put Things in context
Will the IoT save us from ourselves???
