A future where the Internet of Things spreads exponentially is almost certain. Seemingly everybody wants these devices: consumers for the helpful features and manufacturers for the ability to collect data about the product and consumers’ use of it.
Paul Calatayud, Palo Alto Networks’ CSO for the Americas, sees the IoT evolving into a new form of distributed computing powered by 5G and ever-increasing bandwidth speeds. The result will be intelligent, programmable devices that operate without human interaction or input.
“Any product in your home that has a dial, button, or screen will be connected – including locks, refrigerators, stoves, and so on. Everything from cars, pets and even ourselves will be connected,” he predicts.
