Connected Cow: another thing you couldn’t do until IoT
I love IoT apps and devices that allow us to increase the efficiency of existing products and services, but long-time readers may remember that I have a special fond spot for “what can you do now that you couldn’t do before” when it comes to the IoT. These are things such as the Toronto Hospital for […]
Eureka! MYLE TAP: Nice Example of IoT Letting You Do Something You Couldn’t
I like to occasionally feature products that aren’t earth-shaking in their own right (such as the cameleon shoes that can change their appearance with the swipe of an app) , but nicely illustrate one of my IoT acid tests: what can you do that you couldn’t do before?
I love those, because they can get our […]
IoT: What Can You Do That You Couldn’t? Heavy Construction
Not sure why, but I’m particularly fascinated by how the IoT can transform parts of the economy that have been around for more than 100 years, such as the way the Union Pacific uses it to reduce derailments — and worse.
One of those tradition-bound industries where the IoT Essential Truth “What Can You Do Now That […]
Why the Internet of Things Will Bring Fundamental Change “What Can You Do Now That You Couldn’t Do Before?”
The great Eric Bonabeau has chiseled it into my consciousness that the test of whether a new technology really brings about fundamental change is to always ask “What can you do now that you couldn’t do before?”
That’s certainly the case for the Tesla alternative last winter to a costly, time-consuming, and reputation-staining recall (dunno: I […]
AliveCor Mobile ECG: the IoT Can Save Your Life!
Got your attention? I find there’s nothing like the fear of death to focus one’s attention.
Somehow I managed to forget blogging about one of the real highlights of last Spring’s RE-WORK Connect Summit here in Boston: the AliveCor Mobile ECG.*
Perhaps the most important thing about the Mobile ECG is that it is not just a […]

“All of Us:” THE model for IoT privacy and security!
pardon me in advance:this will be long, but I think the topic merits it!
One of my fav bits of strategic folk wisdom (in fact, a consistent theme in my Data Dynamite book on the open data paradigm shift) is, when you face a new problem, to think of another organization that might have one similar […]
“The House That Spied on Me”: Finally Objective Info on IoT Privacy (or Lack Thereof)
Pardon a political analogy, Just as the recent indictment of 13 Russians in the horrific bot campaign to undermine our democracy (you may surmise my position on this! The WIRED article about it is a must read!) finally provided objective information on the plot, so too Kasmir Hill’s and Surya Matu’s excruciatingly detailed “The House […]
iQ handheld ultrasound: another game-changing IoT health device
As the Red Sox’ Joe Castiglione might say, “Can you believe it?” (I should add a few more question marks to underscore exactly how unbelievable this IoT device is).
That’s my reaction to the latest astounding IoT medical device, the iQ handheld ultrasound, which attaches to a smartphone.
I was mesmerized by the headline on a story about […]
IoT Saving Lives
“What can you do now that you couldn’t do before?”
That’s a question from my friend and patron Eric Bonabeau that I’ve raised before with regard to the IoT, and it’s a worthwhile counter-weight to focusing on the steady increases in operating efficiency that incremental IoT strategies can bring about (a not-t0o-subtle plug for the webinar […]
