Your smart watch and thermostat are just the tip of the iceberg. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a quiet revolution connecting everything from tractors to hospital beds to the internet, creating a global nervous system. In this episode, we decode this ubiquitous buzzword. We explore the convenience of the smart home, the transformative power of the industrial IoT in factories and farms, and the promise of smart cities. But with great connectivity comes great risk. We also dive into the critical debate around security vulnerabilities and data privacy. In our "Focus on Language" segment, we break down 10 essential tech terms like ubiquitous, latency, and granular, and teach you how to explain complex ideas with simple analogies. Join us as we explore the future that's already here. To unlock full access to all our episodes, consider becoming a premium subscriber on Apple Podcasts or Patreon.
