If you haven’t read Cisco’s Tae Yoo’s recent post on the Huffington Post ImpactX site, you should. It’s a great look at the power of the Internet of Everything (IoE) to help mankind. Yes, humankind. It’s a powerful statement, but I think it’s true.
With the example of disaster and relief efforts, the post highlights how technology continues to be more accessible every day. When seconds count, such as in the 2010 Haiti earthquake and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, technology is already impacting lives and will continue to get event better.
“Our world and our connections are growing and accelerating at a pace never experienced before. In 1984, there were only 1,000 Internet devices. By 2020, the number is predicted to reach 50 billion. This astounding growth and velocity also brings with it some astounding opportunities that we can use to benefit humanity.” – Tae Yoo, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Cisco
