Scoop.it!
Absolutely fascinating!
Intro:
In 2008 the number of devices connected to the Internet surpassed the number of people connected, and in 2020 there will be 50 billion things connected, 7 times the world’s population, according to Dave Evans of Cisco.
The infographic below highlights some of the key features of the Internet of things, including the pace of growth, how external data can be aggregated so that your alarm clocks, cars, and coffee makers make decisions to fit with your schedule, and that some cameras and computers are now just a cubic millimeter.
An amazing statistic is that by end of 2011, 20 typical households will generate more Internet traffic than the entire Internet in 2008. That is slightly unbelievable, and I would like to know how they define ‘typical’ and what data is generated for Internet communication.
However it is important to recognize that the Internet of things is one of the most important ways to understand our connected future. Pervasive connectivity, and the amazing things we will be able to do with that, will shape our lives.

Hey Jan,
I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. Hope to see you share some content soon? That is on Internet Billboards! LOL Nice curation as usual. Thanks Tom |
Loved this post because the tone is teaching, "cloud engineers" and so we interloping Internet marketers can learn too. Don't think understanding the cloud is important? Here are just a few Internet marketing CSF (Critical Success Factors) impacted by "cloud formation":
* Speed of your website.
* SEO acceptability of your website.
* Google acceptability of your content and site.
* Web 3.0 dynamic contingent logic firing in real time.
That last bullet is my favorite and least understood. Websites won't operate or be created the way we do now. The "appificaiton" of everything + the cloud = more sophisticated logic firing ln more cylinders, faster and faster, better and better.
The cloud is opening up possibilities. We are creating CureCancerStarter.org without much concern to image weight since the Amazon Content Delivery Network is taking much of the heavy lifting off the page. Multiple that one benefit by a hundred and you see why understanding the cloud is a CSF.
