Great timing! I was just completing a presentation for our next Boston/New England IoT Meetup on the subject of the IoT's human communications implications, and I had just added "collaborate" as one of the critical words that we will have to always focus on to capitalize on the IoT. IMHO, there will be a virtuous circle that will link machines and all of us: each thing, each person will be a node and, for the first time, we'll be able to share the data from those things on a REAL-TIME basis: that will have major implications for how we manage companies and their relationships with suppliers, distribution channels, and customers. I can hardly wait!
