- It’s a bit dated, but we found “The Internet of Things” article by Michael Chui, Markus Löffler, and Roger Roberts of McKinsey & Company to be helpful when coming up with our own definition.
- Wikipedia’s entry has some alternative definition for the Internet of Things. At the time this was written, the entry is a bit scattered and could use the love of an editor who knows what they’re talking about.
Nice podcast. Not to nit pick about the information – but the hacking of refrigerators was put out by a Security Firm. While I completely agree that things will get hacked, and security is very, very important but I am still trying to find details about the actual having. Reading through the actual report I struggled to find the specifics….
Control is necessary – but it needs to be Control with Security.
Good point Ashu. Hacking seems to be the default go-to scare scenario when it comes to considering a world where everything is connected. I’m not sure there’s a lot of motivation necessarily to hack your fridge, and it’s very true that a lot of the Things on Internet of Things will probably have relatively straight-forward functions that aren’t really hackable. Thanks for listening and for the info, we’ll check it out.
