There are two IoTs: consumer and industrial. The Consumer IoT is where most people understand what’s going on: smart homes, wearables, drones, devices and connected cars. The Industrial IoT is the home of the infrastructure enhancements, intelligent buildings and cities and dirty underbelly of the connected world that makes it all work, and can make a real difference in the future of humanity. They have a lot to learn from each other, and it’s time we all started recognizing that.

On today’s IoT Time: Wearables are going to become ubiquitous, but only once they get better. Android OS had a huge hole in its biometric security protocols, but they fixed it. Machine learning is required to make Big Data smarter. On MYIoT, Ken digs into the idea that people aren’t equipped to analyze raw data themselves. We need smart algorithms and machines that can learn and deliver the actionable intelligence businesses can use to make better strategic moves.
