I’m still processing much of the material that was covered at the ECIA Executive Conference, Living Connected, earlier this week. But since today is Halloween, I thought I’d cover a few of the things I found a little scary during the conference.
- Some people now consider it necessary to record their surroundings, their locations and their activities via social media to ‘prove’ they exist.
--Chris Dancy, the Most Connected Human On Earth. On any given day, Chris has between 300-700 sensors, devices, applications and services monitoring his body and his surroundings.
- The electronic bra exists. When true love is detected, the bra unhooks automatically from the front to help save women from one-night stands with less-than-savory men. The bra contains a heart-rate sensor. The app calculates the "true love rate," comparing the readings to activities like shopping, watching a horror movie, flirting, jogging, or receiving a surprise gift.
-- Janusz Bryzek, PhD; Founder, of the TSensors (Trillion Sensors) Summit, on where sensors are being applied.
- Millennials will be making businesses’ purchasing decisions soon.
--Barry Lawrence, Program Director, Industrial Distribution Program and Supply Chain Systems Laboratory, Texas A&M University, on increasing sales.
- “Any interface is vulnerable.”
--Joe Grand, President, Grand Idea Studio, on IoT. Any IoT device provides an opportunity for hackers to access the entire connected system or network.
- “You no longer control your message.”
--Alexis Krase, Senior Relationship Manager, LinkedIn Corporate Solutions, on the impact of social media on business.
