The “Internet of Things” (IoT) may sound like a complex idea, but in actuality, is a fairly simple concept to understand. On a very high level, IoT is the ability for things that contain embedded technologies to sense, communicate, interact, and collaborate with other things, thus creating a network of physical objects. In recent years this concept has gained enormous momentum, and is now one of the most talked about things in the world of technology today. At this rapid rate of growth, it is projected that there will be approximately 26 billion connected devices by 2020.

  • IoT will affect most industries and business sectors – around 30% of tasks and up to 60% of occupations could be automated, and almost every occupation has the potential for partial automation (Source: McKinsey Global Institute).
  • IoT is leading to the creation of new jobs, where people who understand and can leverage the IoT to create solutions will be greatly in demand.
  • To remain competitive and successful in the digital economy, organizations should have an understanding of what the IoT is and how it can be used to create business solutions and solve critical business problems. The future of business requires knowledge of IoT, and few businesses are embracing the opportunity at the velocity they should to maintain their competitive advantage. This is especially true about Canada, who as a country have fallen behind in this technology race in comparison to other countries around the world.

quotes about iot

Phillip Crawley
CEO, Globe and Mail
“According to a survey of top-level Canadian executives conducted on behalf of Microsoft Canada, data showed a “black hole for C-level executive suites” when it came to IoT. Over half said they were completely unaware of IoT, 72 per cent were confused by it and 24 per cent said they had no sense of how it could impact their businesses.”
Eric Schmidt
CEO, Alphabet
“The Internet will disappear. There will be so many IP addresses, so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with, that you won’t even sense it. It will be part of your presence all the time. Imagine you walk into a room, and the room is dynamic. And with your permission and all of that, you are interacting with the things going on in the room.”
