IoT
It went from mainframes -> desktops/laptops -> mobile. And next will be IoT. Huge possibilities will open up when you have internet connected devices at the sub $1 range.
- jventura 10y agoI'm kind of skeptical on this one.. Why would I want an internet-connected toaster?
- anthony_franco 10y agoI'm not gonna pretend to guess what the possibilities will be. But when computers went to costing just a few hundred dollars and fitting in your pocket, there was an explosion of startups and ideas that no one could've dreamt of at the time. Likewise, when these computers go down to the size of your fingernail and costing about $1 (like the ESP8266), suddenly a new world of possibilities open up.
- rajacombinator 10y agoIf it talks with my internet connected shower it could start my toast 5 minutes after my shower ends which might save me about 30 seconds of waiting to toast it myself. Just offering a potential (though far fetched) use case. ;)
