In our latest video, we wanted to address a few of the basics behind IBM’s smarter planet strategy. We interviewed three IBMers, featured in the video above – in order of appearance: Mike Wing, Andy Stanford-Clark and John Tolva – and asked them to talk about what Internet of Things, System of Systems, and Smarter Planet mean to them. We tried something new with this video, interviewing these gentlemen, then animating around some excerpts from the audio captured.
Although Internet of Things and System of Systems are not IBM-bred concepts, they help to explain a great deal about what is happening now where the digital world meets the physical and intellectual. An excerpt from the film:
Michael Wing: “Over the past century but accelerating over the past couple of decades, we have seen the emergence of a kind of global data field. The planet itself – natural systems, human systems, physical objects – have always generated an enormous amount of data, but we didn’t used to be able to hear it, to see it, to capture it. Now we can because all of this stuff is now instrumented. And it’s all interconnected, so now we can actually have access to it. So, in effect, the planet has grown a central nervous system.
Look at that complex set of relationships among all of these complex systems. If we can actually begin to see the patterns in the data, then we have a much better chance of getting our arms around this. That’s where societies become more efficient, that’s where more innovation is sparked.
When we talk about a smarter planet, you can say that it has two dimensions. One is to be more efficient, be less destructive, to connect different aspects of life which do affect each other in more conscience and deliberate and intelligent ways. But the other is also to generate fundamentally new insights, new activity, new forms of social relations. So you could look at the planet as an information, creation and transmission system, and the universe was hearing its information but we weren’t. But increasingly now we can, early days, baby steps days, but we can actually begin to hear the planet talking to us.”

We have been unable to create powerful instruments to hear the planet talking to us. Most if not all of our planet’s problems are large and very distributed physical phenomenon like climate, pollution, warming, animal life, migration of diseases, viruses, shortage of water, etc. This is because our measurement technology stopped at PC-based. I have been waiting for years to catch a wave of technology that can carry us into creating new types of instruments to interact with our planet. The adoption of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things concept qualify as technological waves to ride in order to create this new type of instrumentation.

The internet has had a great impact on everything from the way we perform some business functions,to the way we learn. One example of this is online guitar programs such Jamorama that has changed the way people learn guitar.

The Internet offers the exchange of information like no other media and offers the average Internet user possibility
to obtain their financial independence.I found other useful information at AIS System.

I couldn’t ever imagine that now we can work together across the continent. There are no more physical barrier like traffic, weather, etc. The only barrier for me is just the time lag between one place to another. But it doesn’t really matters, because we have so many option to communicate each other. Now, I’m going to be part of the flat world, one single world. This is communication revolution,a silent revolution of our civilization

This new technology, not pollu by the air and not the water.
Thank you for this video which allows the world to focus on
This new shape of écomonique.

Good post and video! Here is a link to a series of posts relating to this topic: the Internet of Things as well as the Information Shadow left behind. There is an SAP video that is excellent as well but it focuses exclusively on business processes.
Thanks for the post.
