I feel that the people who are now talking about IoT are the same people who were totally into 'semantic web' back in the day. And it's pretty much the same kind of story: "Wouldn't it be neat if all these systems could interoperate?" and again the answer is "Yes, but not neat enough justify the cost and hassle of actually making it happen".
- jbpetersen 10y agoI think we're due for a proper realization of the semantic web in the next couple years. Things seem about at the point where the cost and hassle can be overcome without a significant financial motivation to do so. Maybe in another decade or so IoT will make sense other than as something fun to experiment with.
