For good or bad, the Matrix is coming. The Internet of Things. IoT. What is it and why does it matter? According to Global Standards Initiative, IoT is the global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies. Essentially, IoT is about connectivity and data, and its evolving ecosystem is driven by mobility and convergence. Whether you're a software developer, hardware engineer or tech evangelist, it's up to us to shape the future. What we want to become, Star Trek or Skynet (Terminator), starts here.
