Chambers said that digitization is not about technology itself, but rather how it changes people's lives forever. The document discusses various digitization trends including the growing number of devices connected to the internet (i.e. the internet of things). It explores concepts like the internet of everything and how the convergence of machines and data is changing how we work through the industrial internet. The document asks questions about potential markets and business opportunities in various industries for digitization and internet of things technologies.

Is IoT/IoE/IIoT/M2M … just “hype”?
I agree that it is a Hype about IoT
technology. But on the other hand
we are constantly seeing IoT in real
applications and real case studies -
Real systems that have been built in
the Smart City space, in the
Manufacturing space, and many
others that take advantage on this
technology. What the Gartner Hype
cycle is bringing up ois that there will
surely be some disillusionment
