inOur panel of experts discusses the pros and cons of the Internet of Things
There’s no point putting your head in the sand – the Internet of Things (IoT) is coming, and it’s got the potential to completely transform the way you work.
The IoT describes a phenomenon in which everyday devices can send and receive data over the internet, and potentially between one another, too.
Everything from your kettle to aircraft parts could – and probably will – become connected, with the burgeoning industry set to grow as broadband quality and coverage improves.
In fact, analyst firm Gartner predicts there will be 25 billion connected devices by 2020 – more than three for every person on the planet.
In 2015 alone, it puts the number of connected machines at 4.9 billion come the end of the year.
So what does this mean for your business?
Our panel of experts are here to discuss the opportunities and challenges you face in our first IT Pro Panel feature.

inThe Wocket is claimed to be “smaller than a typical wallet,” and can also be used to carry cash via an added accessory. Power is supplied by a coin cell battery.
Users start by swiping all of their stripe cards into the Wocket, which records the pertinent data and stores it in its onboard memory. Other types of cards, such as those utilizing barcodes, can be scanned in. Up to 10,000 cards can be stored on one device, then squirreled away someplace safe in the user’s home.
When a payment is being made, the Wocket’s touchscreen is used to select the desired “soft” (electronic) card. Before it can be accessed, however, the user has to verify their identity. This is done using a combination of biometrics and a PIN. The device then wirelessly pairs directly with the merchant’s payment system, as long as it’s authenticated by the Wocket. No smartphone or internet access is required.
For loyalty cards or others that utilize a barcode, that code will appear on the Wocket’s screen when the card is selected, allowing it to be scanned. Users can also manually enter and store textual information such as door lock passcodes, accessing it just as they would access one of their cards.
NXT-ID plans on launching the Wocket on May 28th, by which time pricing and availability information should be available. If you’re interested, you can register for updates via the link below. You might also want to check out the similar Coin device.

inTechnology advancements are happening at a lightning speed. In the past, we’ve been using bulky laptops for computing, cam-coders for video making, walkman for listening to music, bulky cordless mobile phones for phone calls and PDA’s for taking notes in meetings for almost two decades. Then comes the smartphone era which turns the tables and we use only ONE device for all of the above tasks. Today smartphones & tablets have become an essential item in our daily lives. But now we’re entering into the new world where human body will be equipped with gadgets & sensors which will replace the smartphones like they never exists! 🙂
Imagine wearing a smart goggle connected with a pocket PC and equipped with gesture recognition interface so you don’t need a mouse or keyboard to interact with your desktop. Oculus rift & google glass is just a beginning, you’ll see more advance goggle platforms coming up next year.
