Re: IoT Integration
@afwriter Yes, I think I do recall an incident in which hackers locked people out of their hotel rooms to demand ransom. I don't recall if the hotel paid or not, though.

Re: IoT Monetization
@srufulo1 That is interesting to know. I am visiting Barcelona at the start of the year so I look forward to seeing that technology put to use.

Re: IoT Integration
I had no recourse but to wait. It makes you feel helpless and out of control, I couldn't imagine being held hostage by a hacker.

IoT Monetization
It really is a shame that the U.S. is so far behind with the smart city concept. In Europe, places like Barcelona are at the forefront of smart-city technology. We need to get over our fears and just do it.

Re: Smart Citiies
@ms.akkineni Even the the GPS in cars doesn't give correct directions. When I was taking a trip for my niece's wedding I was having trouble with the GPS in my car. So I called my sister and she got us off at the correct exit just in the nick of time. When I told her I consulted a "TripTik" (a map the AAA creates for you) first before even venturing out, she was laughing so hard and telling all her kids that her aunt was using a TripTik. She got a kick out of that. I happen to like the challenge of reading a paper map.

Re: IoT Integration
@freehe You make a good point. It could be an extremely dangerous situation the coupling of autonomous cars allowing drivers to communicate with their smart homes. Security is a huge concern here. It would be a good idea to get the autonomous car technology working first.

Re: IoT Integration
All this bluetooth and broadband connecitivity could make one nervous. How secure are these channels? What stops someone from sniffing them? Even wired connections could prove problematic...

Re: IoT Integration
@afwriter Indeed, that is a major problem. Did you have to wait for power to be restored to get into your house, or were you able to climb through an open window or something like that/

Re: IoT Integration
It could be a nightmare if there was a glitch. I always enter and exit my house through my garage door and all other outside doors stay locked, the other day the power went out when I wasn't home and when I came home I was locked out of the house because I couldn't get in the garage. Something like that could happen on a whole other level when you start adding software into the mix.
Re: Smart Citiies
@afwriter, @freehe:
Very much in agreemnet with both of you. If we think about today we are too depnedant on technology that we have no clue if something goes haywire with technology. I would like to bring up a very simple example from daily routene. After we got used to this GPS on phones, many times we just get on road without checking the address and directions. For some reason if there is an issue with GPS or phone we are stuck. I always prefer to explore the map / direction beforehand to have an idea atleast. This is just one simple example. There could be many more , even more serious impactful ones that we need to be midful about.
