[Chapter-delegates] Internet of Things- One year later

[Imran Anwar]

Good analogy to the auto industry. 

Much that I like speed first in innovation and new tech, in the case of the Internet of Things though, IMHO, safety literally needs to come first. The IoT touches and can control almost everything, from next generation pacemakers to existing power grids. One false move or breach would be catastrophic for all concerned.

He suggested that, on an accelerated timetable, perhaps, the same applied to the Internet. We are yet to really reach that point.

Interesting that  the discussion is missing on privacy, hacking and misuse of private information.    Noteworthy is comments by Eliot Lear of  Cisco who raising  issues of  encryption and devices.  Perhaps we need to continue this discussion
