Quick high level introduction to the Internet of Things given at SCAdigital's training day on 14/05/2014. The most relevant slide will be the one that contains links to more reading towards the end.

1. Chris Johnson Tittle SlideJOE HARDY
HEAD OF DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT

2. The Internet of Things!
!
(or: how many Exabytes will be written about your life?)!

3. The Internet of Things (madeyuppy c. 1999 Kevin Ashton)!
A network of uniquely identifiable
objects that relay granular data about
themselves via the Internet!

4. The Journey

5. We’ve already seen the first step of
the Internet of Things explosion in
the last 6 years!

6. GPS Co-ordinates!
Internet Searches!
“Hyper-granular” / “Chatty” Data!
Media Consumption!
Always On!
Form Factor!

7. We Live in the Cloud!

8. The amount of
information generated
during the first day of a
baby’s life today is
equivalent to 70 times
the information
contained in the
Library of Congress!
– The Human Face Of Big Data!

9. Now what’s next?!

10. “… there will be nearly 26 billion devices on the Internet
of Things by 2020.” – Gartner!

11. Now what’s next?!

12. Exabyte?!
• 1.1529215 × 1012 bytes!
• 1,000 petabytes!
• Or: 1,000,000 terabytes!
• Or: 1,000,000,000 gigabytes!
For context:
Facebook ingest 500TB of data every day!
Google is estimated to be sitting on around 10EB of data at present!

13. There’s always the question of who
is interested in getting their hands
on the data and why …!

14. Example #1!

15. “For those of you that use the Moves app — the
Moves experience will continue to operate as a
standalone app, and there are no plans to change
that or commingle data with Facebook.”!
– Moves official statement, Apr 24 (www.moves-app.com)!

18. Example #2 - Nest!
• Home automation technology
company founded by one of the
original team leads of Apple’s iPod!
• Acquired by Google for $3.2b!
• Why does Google want this data?!

19. “We expect that the acquisition will enhance Google's
suite of products and services and allow Nest to
continue to innovate upon devices in the home, making
them more useful, intuitive, and thoughtful, and to
reach more users in more countries.”!
– Google, 10k Filing for Acquisition of Nest (sec.gov)!
