Expectations of Connectivity
""The expectations are changing, [and] devices are now expected to be connected," noted Srinivasan, arguing that today's end user fully expects and demands connectivity for anything that costs $100 or more."
----I was reading recommendations for electric toothbrushes recently and people were talking about which ones are Bluetooth enabled. At first I thought it was some dental pun - but apparently connectivity is a toothbrush feature now.
(And now that I know that's an option, I feel like my toothbrush is woefully inadequate for not being able to provide me feedback on my phone as I brush)
Re: Expectations of Connectivity
After years of hearing "I don't want my toaster to talk to my refrigerator," I think Joe makes some good points about how companies are already benefiting from IoT. I would much rather read about real world benefits, challenges, applications, etc. that another research paper on how many billions of sensors we'll have by 2020.

IOT has a lot to offer so I'm not surprised with this revolution because they do offer cloud based and data services etc.

Re: Expectations of Connectivity
What is critical is this: iOT is here and anyone who ignores it does so at their peril. The question is who will be left standing.

Re: Expectations of Connectivity
Appreciate the link @mike and Mari is as always quite perceptive : I should have been a bit more detailed(too little coffee!!). What I was driving it is this: they seem to embrace the iOT PhPhenomenonn more ways than one--including going after the essential infrastructure that may end up the "holy grail".
I hope I am reading the "Tea leaves" the right way
