Guest Lecture on IOT for Taylor's University (April 15, 2015) - Things that are connected to the Internet can be smarter than you think. There can be embedded intelligence to the device but there are time, a higher processing power is required in the cloud. But when you aggregate various kinds of data from multiple sources, it will bring better insights that you might not have the ability to find out if its data resides in silos. To build smarter world, we need smarter people to make it work.

WHAT ARE SMART, CONNECTED PRODUCTS
(THINGS)?
Physical Components - comprise the product’s mechanical
and electrical parts.
Smart Components - amplify the capabilities and value of the
physical components
Connectivity Components - amplifies the capabilities and
value of the smart components and enables some of them to
exist outside the physical product itself.

10/90 RULE – THE UNCONNECTED THINGS
The Last 100 meter
connectivity
The “last 100 meters” represent > 90% potential number of connections
Today, the devices used in the “last 100 meters” are typically not connected. The wide-area network is
to a larger extent connected e.g. through smartphones, home routers (e.g. ADSL routers) and GSM /
3G / 4G Routers.
