In this presentation, Prateek introduces what he calls "Internet of Everything" and talks about building IoT applications that aid in water/energy conservation.
1. Forget about
the Internet of Things,
now it’s
the Internet of Everything

2. The Internet of whaat???
Till now, we had computers do all our stuff, and whatever was not a
computer was simply a lesser mortal, so not an intelligent machine.
That’s when ease of use and portability comes in the way of ‘being
human’. We’d say these are machines, not humans, and whatsoever AI
can evolve into, WE AS CONSUMERS couldn’t have it.
Long story, cut short. What has always been the case with the IT
industry, cheap commodity hardware replacing expensive specialized
ones, albeit intelligently this time using sensors and actuators.

3. Imagine
A world full of small, maybe invisible special-purpose devices catering to
human’s every want & need by being able to talk to each other.
Like all those visuals from all sci-fi movies coming to life, in this life
only. Like we already have all the infra to support digital life forms
and humans.
The portability we could have without having to touch any device, no
configs, no installs and best-of-all no vendor lock-ins since going the
open source way is in the best interests of the vendor (for the first time
indeed, yes! commercially) than the customer.

4. Industry wide – Collaboration –
Progress – Standards – Regulations

A handful of effective, scalable, efficient protocols are being developed
upon, standards being proposed by industry giants (those who can
really create a vision, and supporting missions), the likes of Intel,
Canonical, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Eclipse, and the relatively new Allseen
Alliance.

5. THE (OPEN SOURCE) WAY
where Hackers & Painters meet
5
We have development tools and frameworks, matching hardware,
wearables, next–gen software offering remote printing and monitoring,
ultra-compatible middlewares, integration tools, and even entire snappy
operating systems like Ubuntu Core and Windows 10.
In the next three to five years, consumers would have true value for
money by choosing their preferable device and still getting it to work
seamlessly with other vendor’s devices
6. What I think..??
Improving Earth’s sustainability for the next-gen.
Tired of hearing people arrive at work and say, “I think today I left
<electricity/water/other natural resource> open”.
Tired of pretentious people, busy procrastinating, not moving a hair to
shut down a valve or a tap.
So I would love to enable water taps and lighting get tech-savvy
because as we know, us humans will not behave.
