“We are now feeling the first tremors of the most profound technological disruption in the history of humanity: networked, embedded intelligence in the most ordinary physical objects of the manufactured world—even objects implanted in the human body itself. Ultimately, this phenomenon will change civilization more than electrification, the telephone, the train, the automobile, the airplane, and the Web all put together.”

Stefan Ferber (Boch IoT Blog): An IoT business ecosystem is like a coral reef. There is an abundanceof species, symbiosis, and co-evolution … [] any approach which sees every start-up creating “its” ownplatform instead of joining existing ecosystems, might limit our joint efforts for the IoT

This implies new opportunities and challenges in both business and technology
