THE INTERNET OF THINGS relies on unique object identifiers. "Embedded intelligence is defined as: leveraging the capacity to collect and analyze the digital traces left by people when interacting with widely deployed smart things to discover the knowledge about human life, environment interaction, as well as social connection/behavior".

SEQUENCING DETECTIVES. "They were mystery diseases that had stumped doctors for years -- adults with strange symptoms and children with neurological problems, mental slowness or muscles too weak to let them stand. Now ... they were able to crack a quarter of these cases by decoding the patients' genes. Their study is the first large-scale effort to move gene sequencing out of the lab and into ordinary medical care, and it shows that high hopes for this technology are finally paying off.""

GDP BOOSTER. "The internet of things -- the increasing number of machines equipped with internet-connected sensors—will expand the US economy by $600 billion and $1.4 trillion in 2025, roughly the equivalent of boosting GDP by 2% to 5% over the intervening time period.""

THE IoT: " Nearly all of the roughly 50 petabytes (a petabyte is 1,024 terabytes) of data available on the Internet were first captured and created by human beings by typing, pressing a record button, taking a digital picture or scanning a bar code. If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things -- using data they gathered without any help from us -- we would be able to track and count everything.""

SINCE 1950, the IoT has been in development but was only coined in " "1999: "Kevin Ashton, cofounder and executive director of the Auto-ID Center at MIT, first mentioned the Internet of Things in a presentation he made to Procter & Gamble.""

IoT TO BOOST GDP. "Mandel looked at projections from the McKinsey Global Institute that predicted that the U.S. would get one-third of the $2.7 to $6.2 trillion in global gains from the IoE and that two-thirds of the gains would show up in the gross domestic product (GDP). Then he looked at long-term projections from the Congressional Budget Office and estimates that this could lead to a 2 percent to 5 percent gain in GDP in 2025, with a GDP of $28 trillion.""

TRULY DISRUPTIVE. "The IoE broadens the economic impact of the “Information Revolution” because it stands to transform “physical” activities such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, health care, and the public sector."" " http://lnkd.in/bxWwwtH View in LinkedIn

ANIMATED WORLD. “Awake: Welcome to the Programmable World.” The article begins, “When the objects around us can talk to each other, the elements of our physical universe converge and spring to life.” (Wired, June 2013 )." " http://lnkd.in/bpqX9bH View in LinkedIn

MAN-MACHINE CO-EVOLUTION is gathering momentum. "The Internet of Things is creeping into healthcare, almost unnoticed. Both in hospitals and at home, the possibilities are endless. Although we are early in the maturity of this technology as noted by the Wired article, we will soon connected devices become ubiquitous, a programmable platform, with medical devices talking to each other while improving care provision and our personal health.""
