We’ve all heard the term “IoT” at some point or another and probably wondered, "what does that mean, anyway?” “Isn’t that when your fridge automatically orders milk when you’re running low?” Yeah, something like that. IoT (Internet of Things) is an umbrella term for internet-connected devices that all talk to each other to help get work done for you. And this sector is getting more and more impactful on the world as the underlying technologies become more capable of doing useful things. - IoT is getting huge in HealthTech. The Apple Watch is a consumer example. Patient monitoring devices in hospitals that text doctors is more of an enterprise use-case. - IoT in logistics and warehouse management is going bonkers right now. Boxes in warehouses all have chips that tell robots where they can be picked up & dropped off. - IoT that helps the environment also continues to grow rapidly — smart thermostats to optimize home energy consumption, for example. - IoT is everywhere in farming where smart devices deliver just the right amount of water and nutrients, boosting harvests while slashing waste. What’s super-charging IoT these days is advances in data science & machine learning. It’s made devices 10x “smarter” and more useful than they were even 5 years ago. It’s an interesting segment to look at from an investment standpoint. However, challenges do exist, like security and privacy, which is complex to solve when you have millions or even billions of connected devices. The recent chip shortage didn’t help IoT either. My friend Hugo Borda is a passionate advocate & researcher in IoT. He joins us in his second stint on the Technocratic podcast & gives great insights into the sector. #iot #technocratic
