THE INTERNET OF THINGS
PART 1/3 - Humans & Objects

This is a summary what we talked about last week with Matt. Hopefully this will become a departure point for our paper. Actually, when you put all of our points together like below, you end up with a definition of what the IOT means to us, which is a fabulous start:


IOT & HUMANS
- IOT stems from our obsession with wanting to control changes/environment around us
- All living things to seek to control their environment with whatever means they have; it’s just that we as humans have evolved to increase our means of control in a spectacular way
- We control things by tracking them
- So was the IOT created as the 'solution' to our lack of security, knowledge, control, and predictability?

IOT & OBJECTS
- IOT is the concept of attaching data to objects
- The IOT is the concept of a world where every human, object, and space will become a link to and a holder of information
- Taken individually, technology AND products are novelties. Together, they collapse of the boundary between the digital and the physical
- So the IOT is a bridge. And we should think of it as an invisible channel for change

I'll be typing them up and posting them in sections so its not so hard to digest. Feedback is needed and welcome, as always.
