Uldrich, whose recent article in Forbes magazine, 10 Game-Changing Technological Trends Transforming Tomorrow touched on subjects such as MOOCs, wearable technologies, and cryptocurrency, is now exploring the possibilities of the Internet of Things. <\/p>\n
Uldrich loosely defines the Internet of Things (IoT) as, \"the connection of billions of physical objects to the Internet, through the use of low-cost sensors.\" And he posits that the impact of the IoT, whether we choose to embrace it's technology or not, will be vast. <\/p>\n
A few of Uldrich's potential scenarios of the IoT include a world where entrepreneurial fitness coaches utilize clothing embedded with sensors to keep patrons physically engaged and motivated throughout the day; automobiles and smart phones embedded to help connect people wanting to ride share; smart home thermostats that will lower your heat to help save you money; and sprinkler sensors that tell you when and how much to water your lawn. <\/p>\n
