I think the big win is that now instead of every IoT company trying to figure out how they can update endpoint devices, the company that has been doing endpoint device updates for 20 years will give it to you as a service if you use their platform.
- dvh 8y agoI'm gonna repost comment made by niftich year ago because it's spot on: Internet of Things isn't about people hooking up jailbroken Kindles to one-way mirrors to show the weather. It's not about Ardunios and Raspberry Pis being used to collect some data, move some servos, and make a blog post about it. It's about big money to be made by introducing new monetization channels in places there were none before. (For some reason I was downvoted -4 last time)
- vezycash 8y agoI think this definition is too limiting. I do agree with data collection part though. Webcams, thermostats, bulbs, wrist watches, tv... Basically any electronics we have used since forever without issues would now need to be connected to the internet. Mostly for zero consumer benefit. For most of these, Ardunios and Raspberry PIs would be overkill.
