Hyper-connected devices are expanding the ability to
automatically transfer information machine-to-machine
(M2M) without human-to-human or human-to-computer
interaction…
Is this a luxury for the rich or an
opportunity to provide a standard set of
resources for everyone?

3. Internet of Things: Definition
In Ivy Wigmore’s words:
“A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a
person with a heart monitor implant, a farm
animal with a biochip transponder, an
automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the
driver when tire pressure is low — or any other
natural or man-made object that can be
assigned an IP address and provided with the
ability to transfer data over a network.”

4. It’s coming!
How will you feel when
the milk you bought in
the super market tells
your fridge it is going
bad and it’s time to
order more?

5. It’s coming!
• Can you imagine a
road sign, on a
highway, telling a
tourist’s telephone
what it says, in the
tourist’s own
language?

6. It’s here!
Do you know that in
2015 new European
cars will call an
ambulance in a crash
before the driver can
phone, or even if he
can’t?

7. Useful?
How will you react if
your window calls the
police and your
insurance company
because it’s been
broken, without
letting you know in
advance?

8. Superfluous?
• My carpet changes color according to the temperature of the
under-floor heating system.
• Lights in the house switch on at different intensities depending on
who enters the room.
• The dishwasher will start as soon as I (and my telephone) leave for
the office in the morning.
• An electrical generator safely and automatically shuts down when a
sensor has determined that a main bearing is about to break.
• The door-handle of a hospital intensive care ward refuses to open
the door because it has detected a fevered hand from an
unknowing visitor.
• The baby bottle blocks the flow of formula because it’s too hot and
it might burn the baby’s mouth.
• Your bathing suit changes colour to indicate a high concentration of
metallic pollutants in the lake where you are swimming.
