Why the Internet of Things is Failing.
Let’s take a second to step back into reality, suspending the influence of the Silicon Valley’s hype machine, and taking the time to analyze the current situation of the Internet of Things (IoT).
If I had to give Silicon Valley a grade for how well they have influenced consumer’s awareness of the IoT, it would be an “F,” and I don’t think I would be the only person to deliver that evaluation.
Silicon Valley has failed to maintain the excitement around the “The Internet of Things,” with consumers understanding very little about how these connected devices will benefit them, and more importantly, not really caring.
Before you can convince the world that a network of connected devices is the future of productivity, you first have to convince them of a number of smaller, more tangible points.
