The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vision. It is being built today. The stakeholders are known, the debate has yet to start. In hundreds of years our real needs have not changed. We want to be loved, feel safe, have fun, be relevant in work and friendship, be able to support our families and somehow play a role - however small - in the larger scheme of things. So what will really happen when things, homes and cities become smart? The result will probably be an tsunami of what at first looks like very small steps, small changes. The purpose of Council is to forecast what will happen when smart objects surround us in smart homes, offces, streets, and cities. Internet of People is the consultancy branch that advises corporations, public organizations, individuals and institutions on how to manage and facilitate the changes that the Internet of Things will bring.

Will you have them washed tonight?" Is this fiction, or reality? Fiction, you would think. But this is not impossible.In recent weeks, a number of blogs and articles have appeared about the ‘smart socks ’ from the Blacksocks company.

Peter Fries:: IoT-A Newsletter Number 2

Working on and in the Internet of Things means working for the society of tomorrow. Smart and connected objects will relieve us from rou- tine burdens and beam us to a different world of real being and virtual reality with new living and working environments. Given the self-organising nature of the Internet of Things, creation, development and evolution will happen in a more chaotic and simultaneous manner. Notions of control and closed environments will be superseded by flexible response and permanent learning and adaption. Read more about Peter Fries:: IoT-A Newsletter Number 2
