Harnessing the Internet of Things for Global Development

March 1, 2016

After more than a decade of discussion and anticipation, the Internet of Things is now firmly on its way. This is a major development, which promises to extend our online world in a myriad of ways. Connecting things, as well as people, offers prospects of new ways of monitoring situations, learning and responding in real-time. In some sense, the “Internet of Things” is a misnomer. The Internet of Things is not a single, unified network of connected devices, but rather a set of different technologies which can be put to work in coordination together at the service and to the ultimate benefit of people in both developed and developing economies. This set of Internet of Things technologies is realizing a vision of a miniaturized, embedded, automated environment of devices communicating constantly and automatically. However, connecting up devices or robots (whether they are bridges, fridges or widgets) is only a means to an end — the really interesting part arises in terms of what can be done with the data obtained, and the learning outcomes for improving our future.
