Dr. Mazlan Abbas gave a presentation on the Internet of Things. The presentation covered several key points:
1. The Internet of Things refers to connecting physical devices to the internet and to each other. Billions of devices are expected to be connected by 2020.
2. Organizations are looking to implement IoT solutions to gain more visibility into operations and make smarter decisions. Over 50% of organizations plan to implement an IoT solution in the next 24 months.
3. IoT enables the collection and analysis of large amounts of data from connected devices. This data can provide new insights and knowledge. However, challenges remain regarding technologies, standardization, security and privacy.
4. “We are at the tipping point for
broader IoT adoption with 53
percent of organizations
planning to implement an IoT
solution in the next 24 months.
Organizations in Asia Pacific and
Latin America are more
aggressive with 69 and 60
percent, respectively, planning
to implement over the same
time period”

We Evolve Because We Communicate
The more data that is created, the more knowledge and
wisdom people can obtain.
Internet of Things (IOT) is the enabler.

Possibilities Defined
n
If we look at what is happening today, organizations across the globe are
striving to do more with less and to be more nimble and efficient.
n
To do so, organizations need more visibility into operations in order to make
smarter business decisions and unlock potential within the value chain.
10. +
Harnessing the Data
n
Every day, events occur in a
business: Assets are used,
transactions take place and
employees move about.
n
Events constantly happen and
those events constantly create
data.
n
What if you could harness this
information and form new
insights to solve a business
challenge or drive innovation?
n
The Internet of Things
technologies will make this
possible

16. By simply stepping on the scale, the Smart Body Analyzer provides users with a
quick a comprehensive health snapshot that shows highly accurate weigh, body
fat & heart rate readings. It will then transmitted to the Withings Health Mate
mobile application via the built-in Internet connection. The results are stored and
can be shared with a physician, dietician, support group or motivational team via
Twitter or Facebook.

Thought Controlled Computing
The flagship product, MindWave, is a
headset that can log into your
computer using just your thoughts.
Researchers recently used the EEG
headset to develop a toy car that can
be driven forward with thought.
NeuroSky’s smart sensors can also
track your heart rate and other bodily
metrics and can be embedded in the
next generation of wearable devices.
“We make it possible for millions of
consumers to capture and quantify
critical health and wellness data,”
Yang (CEO of Softbank) said.
Softbank is the funder.

Top 10 Places That Have Banned
Google Glass
Lifelogging: Is It An Invasion Of Privacy?
Because of these concerns, Google Glass has
already received a number of pre-bans at
certain places.
1. Banks/ATMs
2. Sports Arenas/Concert Venues
3. Locker Rooms/Dressing Rooms
4. Movie Theaters
5. Cars
6. Hospitals
7. Classrooms
8. Strip Clubs
9. Casinos

I think the really big issue here is that you might, individually, not worry about
publishing details of your personal life.
But you are publishing your friends, family and business contacts details at the same
time. You are potentially compromising your family and friends!
