TRUTH?
Many of us believed that the internet liberated us from media control…
Filter Bubble“intellectual isolation that canresult from personalizedsearches when a websitealgorithm selectively guesseswhat information a user wouldlike to see based oninformation about the user,such as location, past click-behavior and search history.”
Wikipedia
Echo Chamber:Online social communities become fragmented when like-minded people group together and members hear arguments in one specific direction.
Beliefs are amplified or reinforced by communication and repetition inside a closed system.
distributed ledger = truth machine?
The arbitrariness of people, mistakes, fraud, subjectivity and beliefs will damage the reliability of data.
Truth Machine?
IoT is all about gathering the TRUTH from the physical world
If only reliable devices were able to write in to distributed ledger that ledger will be the Truth Machine.

Data Flow / ApplicationUhuru enebular
• Key Technology: Highly efficient solar panel • Problem: portents want safety for their children, but running cost of full function smartphone is too
expensive and has battery life problems. • Solution: Cellular LPWA in conjunction with highly efficient solar panel provides tracking device with
elongated battery life
Case 2: Monitoring fresh food inside a frozen container
29
• Key Technology: ceramic technology• Problem:Keeping track of ripeness of fresh food while its on the sea• Solution:New ripeness sensor using ceramic technology, Cellular LPWA provides long
battery life
GPS/GNSS
Case 3: Pallet Tracking
