Frog Up or Down

Take a look at this video Scoble put up on his Facebook blog, I like this a lot, google glass developed a little more. https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble/posts/10153966287844655

If we are to make use of the Internet of things, then the devices ability to access the internet and sent sensor data to the cloud, then this device from Particle.io , is a must. The Video from Scoble shows this technology and how easy it is to set up a specific sensor array and get this connected up so easily. It relies upon a battery and at least a 2G connection, and at about $2 a week its not that expensive to run, although they say a solar array is available. The video below is on Facebook, and presented by Robert Scoble, its a real easy system, so easy to update, and run. There are a number of tutorials to show you how to do things, for me though its a way of getting sensor data back to the building to integrate into the IFC data, cloud cover, temp, wind speed, etc. just drop down the menu bar on the top right of the screen and choose. Cool new IoT Dev kit from http://www.particle.ioFor makers to developers who want to build prototypes with connectivity built in. ...

I read Scoble , I like the way he moves with new technology, so when I saw his article on the IoT, ( Internet of Things ), I thought, this is interesting. He had a conversation with a man called  Cédric Bollag , his answer to Scobles questioning, is well worth recording. I suggest that you go to Cedric's face book page and read the short article, then move to the Global Techbox page to follow through, some of the points, I expected, but some, well I sat down and thought them through. But rather than accept the list as the final answer, I sat back and started to add my own thoughts to the list, mostly as I watched the gymnastics on TV, so my mind was not completely engrossed in the subject. I started to brain storm, when I was at Dow, I went on a course to learn how to make notes quickly and efficiently, I can't remember the chap who gave the lectures, I can't remember where, or what the method was called, but the method he taught stayed with me, even now I note the ...
