10/09/18 IoT and the User Experience
Oct 10, 2018Tap to summarizePeggy Smedley says we can expect 12.86 billion IoT sensors and devices to be in use by 2020 in the consumer sector alone, and vertical-specific sensors and devices will exceed 3 billion by 2020, but she says the IoT has to work to do before it starts living up to all the hype. She explains that as an industry, we need to be really meticulous and slightly cautious when bringing IoT devices and solutions to market. She also says we need to keep talking about performance issues and security issues and sharing best practices with each other—even in cross-industry situations. Finally, the more communication within the industry, the better it will be for everyone in the long run.
