One of the buzzwords of the year is of course the “Internet of Things” and in recent news Google has announced its acquisition of Nest, a provider of web-controlled thermostats.
On the podcast to discuss the significance of this is Gilad Meiri, CEO of Neura. He recently released a whitepaper entitled “The Internet of Things – Where is the Inflection point” Gilad believes that this latest acquisition is an indication that big players in the industry are all ready to jump onto the Internet of Things bandwagon and release it's potential.
His words come with a warning however as you'll hear him inferring that Google’s move to acquire Nest is more about data gathering than anything else and that we should all be concerned about how this data is to be used in the future.
He finished by giving us an insight into Neura, a company also creating "Internet of Things" products and explains how their offerings fit into the current marketplace.
