Whovilles Christmas is saved

In the city of Whoville, the city that sits on a hill. Lived the Whos, a merry bunch how wanted to modernize and effectivize their city with digital to make it smart. They looked at vendors far and wide, to finally, after many days scratching their heads, chose three.?

The Whoville mayor and his staff did not really know anything about digital so they trusted the vendor's sales representatives, the Foos.?

The Whos was told by the Foos that their city would become amazing, it would soon be filled with sensors and gadgets and smart devices galore, all connected in many ways. The Whos in Whoville would be able to offer the Whoville mayor opinions and the mayor would learn what he should do to make Whoville Whos happy.?

The Foos promised that nothing could ever go wrong, because their cyber was strong, and that soon so not only would the three Foos give the Whos (for a price) a communications platform with an App, traffic control so the Whos of Whoville could move around better, and automated streetlights in all the streets of Whoville.?

The agreement was made, and the Whos signed the Foos contract one morning in June. By August the communications App will be done the first Foo promised. By September all your streetlights will be automated the second Foo promised. By November your traffic will be running smoother than ever and all Whos will be happy promised the third Foo the mayor of Whoville.?

August came and went. The Foo told the Whoville mayor that soon, soon the App would be done. In September with big fanfare and big words, such as, inclusive, impact, and insight, the App was finally released to all the Whos in Whoville.?

By the beginning of December, all technology was in, and the Foos told the Whos that now, with technology galore their city would make them proud.?

The Whos where confused, but did not really give it a second though. The app had no meaning as they could chat. The traffic moved as usual as there had never really been a problem. And the lights came on and off at night as they always had. But the Whos were happy. Happy that their city is now Smart. But confused by that there was no change.?

The Whoville mayor had had a change, a change for the worse. The Foos required a fee paid to keep the city running. They said “pay or we will turn off the sensors and gadgets and smart devices galore '', so the Whoville major paid and paid.?

But that fateful Christmas, as all the Whos, were snug in bed. A hacker snuck into the network, and this is what he said: "I'll disable your traffic and make your city dark, I'll shut off your power grid, and give you all a chill."?

The hacker took control of every device with a name. Traffic lights flickered and went haywire, causing cars to crash and people to tire! The city lights were shut off without warning, leaving the Who's in the dark and scorning. The Whos smart homes were locked down tight, trapping the Whos inside for the night.?

The Whos were shocked and scared, they didn't know what to do, but then something miraculous happened, the major had a plan, he reached out far and wide, until the heroes he heard of returned his call.

The internet of Everything came and connected all the devices and the Whos where saved from the Foos' unstable and unsecured solutions. The Internet of Everything became the Whos savior and protector, it saved them from these crises.

Connecting the vast array of sensors and its endless data flow into a private walled garden, IoE quickly identified the hacker and his weak spots to show. IoE took control of the network and shut him down in an instant.?

Saving Whoville and its Whos, with technology so persistent. The Whos were overjoyed, they had been saved by IoE, and there they vowed to always protect their smart city by a digital walled garden, and keep it safe.

So with Christmas saved IoE, they celebrated Christmas with even more cheer and glee. Thanking the internet of Everything, their hero, and savior, indeed. The mayor was having an extra merry Christmas as the Foos fees he knew that they would not see.?

The End.
