How do we engage
human consciousness
in a smart world?
-- http://www.buildinginternetofthings.com/internet-of-things-list-of-platforms/
“A part of a dynamic global network infrastructure with self-
configuring capabilities based on open and interoperable
communication protocols where physical and virtual ‘Things’
interact with each other”. These ‘Things’ have specific
identities, physical attributes, virtual ‘personalities’ and
use intelligent interfaces. They are able to interact and
communicate among themselves and with the environment by
exchanging data and information ‘sensed’ about the
environment, while reacting autonomously to the
‘real/physical world’ events and influencing it by running
processes that trigger actions and create services with
or without our direct intervention.”

What does tomorrow’s
creative generation
look like?
-- President Barack Obama
“These videos show how students are imagining the future—
classrooms that are fully accessible to classmates with
disabilities; individualized learning platforms that you can
carry around in your pocket. And that’s the kind of creativity
and imagination we want all our young people to embrace. We
cannot wait to see more of that innovative spirit later this
year when we host our first-ever White House Maker Faire. We
already have a White House Science Fair. This new event is
going to highlight how Americans young and old—tinkerers
and inventors—are imagining and designing and building
tools and machines that will open our minds and power
our economy.”
