Internet of Things: $3 trillion market in 2020, 30 billion connected things

Internet of Things: $3 trillion market in 2020, 30 billion connected things | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

While most everyone agrees that the Internet of Things (IoT) is poised for explosive growth and represents boundless opportunities – billions of connected things driving trillions in revenue – understanding where the revenue opportunities lie across different technology layers has remained elusive, according to IDC.


The worldwide IoT market is forecast to grow from $1.3 trillion in 2013 to $3.04 trillion in 2020 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13 percent.


IDC defines the Internet of Things as a network of networks of uniquely identifiable endpoints (or "things") that communicate without human interaction using IP connectivity – be it "locally" or globally. IDC's view of the IoT ecosystem includes intelligent systems, network equipment, connectivity services, data integration, and often other types of software, applications, services and security....

Why would Apple make a watch?

Why would Apple make a watch? | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

...If one thing is clear, it’s that Apple doesn’t see any of the current smart watches as competition. Apple’s aspirations are far far greater than to just shrink the iPhone and put it on your wrist. Apple wants to produce something so great that millions and millions of people who have never worn a watch will buy it and use it. This isn’t just a better smart watch, this is a better watch.


Purpose — Why make a watch?


Why make a watch? What can you do better on a watch than you can on a phone or a tablet? What can you only do with a watch that would otherwise be impossible in any other form factor? What can you do to make a watch so good that people who have never worn a watch start wearing one?


After weeks of mulling it over, here are some key requirements I believe will dictate the design of Apple’s iWatch....

-Mobile Marketing-

Mobile Marketing is no longer categorized as simply cell phones and tablets. As this kind of technology gets more popular we venture into new ways to take our information on the go. In 2013 Samsung coined the term 'wearable tech' with their very own smart watch called the "Samsung Galaxy Gear" which ignited the 'WT' trend. Quickly following the smart watch was a soft release of the "Google Glass" and the demand for these products is unprecedented.

This article talks about why Apple is jumping on the trend instead of sticking with their phones and tablets. It is a very interesting read that gives insight into the wearable tech market, and the future of Apple's brand. 

Here are some reasons they list for making a watch as opposed to just coming out with a new phone:

-You will always be wearing it

-You will never forget you're wearing it 

-It is more durable

-Revolutionary battery charging technology

-It can tell you the time all the time

It will also be beneficial in tracking your health from day to day including fitness, diet, heart rate ect.

Last but not least they talk about how Siri will be more advanced and how she will be able to say and do more for you in conjunction with your wearable Apple watch.

CES 2014: Toronto’s InteraXon makes wearable tech splash

CES 2014: Toronto’s InteraXon makes wearable tech splash | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

When the principals behind InteraXon headed to the Consumer Electronics Show for the first time in 2011, all they really had was an idea. It was an offbeat one to be sure, since it took the form of a headband that allowed wearers to control things with just the power of their thoughts. Now, three years later, the Toronto-based startup has millions of dollars in funding and 20 staff members supporting a sizeable booth at the annual Las Vegas techno-circus in the build-up to their first-ever product launch.


They’re all sporting a Muse, the company’s new brainwave-controlled relaxation-aid headband, which is launching this spring for $299. The booth itself is notable since it hosts a big, inflated plastic igloo. That’s not so much a symbol of the company’s Canadian-ness, but rather a necessary respite from the noisy show floor, where attendees can use Muse to calm their minds....
