Enchanted Objects: The New Vanguard for Business Connectivity, Design, and the Internet of Things

IoT is no longer a burgeoning trend, it's fully arrived—and there's no one better to instruct on what's coming next than MIT Media Lab’s David Rose. Author of Enchanted Objects, the first major book on the subject, Rose has made a career of bringing IoT to the forefront of public consciousness. By 2025, it is estimated that there will be more than to 21 billion IoT devices in use. At first hyped as consumer products, they're now entering wider public spaces in new, untold ways. How will connected devices affect our offices, transportation, and cities? How will improved data infrastructure—like 5G networks—fuel the growth of the IoT economy? And what threats—malware, DDoS attacks, and more—do we need to be vigilant of as we move forward? In this passionate, forward-thinking, and up-to-the-minute talk, Rose shares the latest and greatest developments from the IoT world, sharing what you need to know—and how you can prepare in light of it.
