You are likely benefitting from The Internet of Things (IoT) today, whether or not you’re familiar with the term. If your phone automatically connects to your car radio, or if you have a smartwatch counting your steps, congratulations! You have adopted one small piece of a very large IoT pie, even if you haven't adopted the name yet.
IoT may sound like a business buzzword, but in reality, it’s a real technological revolution that will impact everything we do. It's the next IT Tsunami of new possibility that is destined to change the face of technology, as we know it. IoT is the interconnectivity between things using wireless communication technology (each with their own unique identifiers) to connect objects, locations, animals, or people to the Internet, thus allowing for the direct transmission of and seamless sharing of data.
IoT represents a massive wave of technical innovation. Highly valuable companies will be built and new ecosystems will emerge from bridging the offline world with the online into one gigantic new network. Our limited understanding of the possibilities hinders our ability to see future applications for any new technology. Mainstream adoption of desktop computers and the Internet didn’t take hold until they became affordable and usable. When that occurred, fantastic and creative new innovation ensued. We are on the cusp of that tipping point with the Internet of Things.
IoT matters because it will create new industries, new companies, new jobs, and new economic growth. It will transform existing segments of our economy: retail, farming, industrial, logistics, cities, and the environment. It will turn your smartphone into the command center for the both digital and physical objects in your life. You will live and work smarter, not harder – and what we are seeing now is only the tip of the iceberg.

56. Average 3,000 – 4000
YESTERDAY I MADE 5,559
The recommended 10,000 steps a day originated in Japan in
the early 1965. Japanese researchers led by Dr Yoshiro Hatano
determined the average person took 3,500 to 5,000 steps per
day, and that if they were to increase their steps to 10,000
steps per day, the result would be healthier, thinner people!
Dr. Hatano’s calculations also showed that we should walk
10,000 steps a day to burn about 20% of our caloric intake
through activity.

• Who you’ve interacted with?
• How long you’ve spoken to friends?
• The affinity of connections?
• How long it takes to get to work?
• The tone of your messages
• The amount you text, tweet or update?
• How much exercise you’re getting?

Take a Stroll Down a Virtual Memory Lane
“How much more IOT can do is only left to your imagination and to your budget. You

of past events, conversations and projects.
70. Benefits of Lifelogging
It will take quite some time for people to feel comfortable with ‘always connected’
devices that can discreetly take photos or videos.
One question is if the benefits outweigh the negatives.
71. Benefits of Lifelogging – Precious Moments
In ‘Total Recall’ (no relation to the movie) Gorden Bell (of Microsoft acclaim) found that by
digitizing everything in his life he was able to reduce stress by a massive amount. Need a
receipt of something you bought years ago? No problem, just do a quick search and it should
pop right up.
What he also found was that by taking photos of everything moment of his life he could go
back to precious unexpected moments that you wouldn’t normally take photos of.
72. Benefits of Lifelogging - Security
A huge amount of crimes are being filmed these days by passer’s by with cell
phones. No need for security cameras when everyone in a building has a smart
phone with a camera.
73. These moments could include a photo of your wife on the day you both met or a last photo of
your beloved dog. It could also help with memory. Search for someone’s name
and you’ll have all the information (including photos) of that person pop up when you are about
to talk with them.

The flagship product, MindWave, is a
headset that can log into your computer
using just your thoughts. Researchers
recently used the EEG headset to develop
a toy car that can be driven forward with
thought.
NeuroSky’s smart sensors can also track
your heart rate and other bodily metrics
and can be embedded in the next
generation of wearable devices.
“We make it possible for millions of
consumers to capture and quantify critical
health and wellness data,” Yang (CEO of
Softbank) said. Softbank is the funder.
