“Enchanted Objects” — adding delight to the IoT formula
For good reason, most discussions of opportunities with the Internet of Things focus on the potential to improve businesses’ operating efficiency or creating new revenue streams.
But what if the IoT could also bring out the hidden 6-yr. old in each of us? What if it could allow us to invent — enchanted objects?
That’s the premise […]
Resolved: That 2015 Is When Privacy & Security Become #IoT Priority!
I’m a right-brained, intuitive type (ENFP, if you’re keeping Myers-Briggs score…), and sometimes that pays off on issues involving technology & the general public, especially when the decidedly non-technical, primal issue of FEAR comes into the equation.
I used to do a lot of crisis management work with Fortune 100 companies, and usually worked with engineers, […]
IoT Security After “The Interview”
Call me an alarmist, but in the wake of the “Interview” catastrophe (that’s how I see it in terms of both the First Amendment AND asymmetrical cyberwarfare), I see this as a clarion call to the #IoT industry to redouble efforts to make both security AND privacy Job #1.
Here’s the deal: if we want to […]
GE & Accenture provide detailed picture of current IoT strategy & deployment

In case you’ve had your head down all summer working on your new app or IoT device, the world is quickly going to hell in a hand basket, […]
BABY MONITOR HACKED: MAKE-IT-OR-BREAK IT MOMENT FOR #IoT!!
I’m hitting on the same subject, privacy and security, for two posts in a row because now there’s been an incident that really could jeopardize the future of the IoT!
Call me an alarmist if you will, but I say ignore it at your peril…
As blogged by GigaOm, ABC News reported this week on an incident […]
CRUCIAL: more media coverage underscores need for IoT emphasis on privacy & security
Sorry to keep harping on it, but two recent articles in high-visibility publications — The NY Times and Forbes — underscore my contention that security and privacy issues threaten to derail the IoT revolution before it really gets going.
I say that because I spent a decade as an award-winning corporate crisis communicator — on more […]
GE Crowdsourcing Design For 3-D Printing Project
OK, I admit to losing all sense of objectivity on this one! After all, it hits all my sweet spots:
Internet of Things (AKA General Electric’s “Internet of Things”)
3-D printing
crowdsourcing/collaboration.
As I wrote earlier, about GE’s collaboration with Electric Imp and Quirky, this exemplar of Industrial Age might (what could be more powerful than a GE locomotive???) […]
