The term "internet of things" has been flying
around for the past two or so years and has become a pretty popular term for
everything, everywhere becoming connected.. I'm pretty sure Cisco coined the
term, but don't quote me on it.
As the typical connected camps continue to create solutions
to connect homes, toasters, wine making machines (I bought one) and everything
in between, we might just start to see something big happen very soon.
It might have gone under the radar for some, but Google
recently purchased Nest for a cool $3.2 billion. Nest has a pretty cool set of
home connected products (Thermostat, Smoke + CO Alarm, etc) that let you
control, manage and receive alerts via the internet with a smartphone, tablet
or PC. With the Nest purchase and the
sale of the Moto X handheld division to Lenovo, I think we are about to see
Google take on a much bigger market than just handhelds over the next few weeks
when they release the recently announced (SXSW conference) SDK for wearable’s.
Just think of it... A
super slim Android Kernel (like the one running in Chromecast), an embedded SDK
for communicating with all things digital and a line of products released for
the home and business connecting everything to everyone – a real triple threat…
Want to see Google trump Apple's CarPlay and take things to not only
the next level, but out of this world....
Want to see manufacturers line up like you have never seen
before building products and developing software with the SDK that will make
Google Glass look so 80's....
Let's see if I'm a fortune teller.. Only time will tell....
Very interesting! For now, I want my Apple CarPlay!
