OCLC Symposium: “The Internet of Things: Coming Soon to Everywhere” (Hosted by
the Americas Regional Council)
A recent
<http://visit.oclc.org/t?r=896&c=3832326&l=408657&ctl=4BE267E:7D9A13F40F244FA9B265858FB26D588EAB211475F9D6EDD4&;>
Pew Research Internet Project report predicts that “The Internet of Things
(IoT) will thrive by 2025,” and suggests that “the opportunities and challenges
resulting from amplified connectivity will influence nearly everything, nearly
everyone, nearly everywhere.”
But the Internet of Things goes beyond smartphones and tablets. Smart cars will
tell us when to get gas based on our navigation plans. Alarm clocks will wake
us earlier if there’s an accident on the route to work. Health monitors for
people and animals will provide real-time alerts that summon appropriate care.
Applications like these are already available on relatively small scales. But
how will our lives change when entire systems of objects—buildings and
communities, energy grids, public safety, transportation, schools, healthcare
facilities and factories—all connect, communicate and react?

Join us for the OCLC Symposium at ALA Annual in Las Vegas to hear Daniel
Obodovski, author of the 2013 book, The Silent Intelligence, talk about how the
Internet of Things is taking shape today. Daniel was Director of Business
Development at Qualcomm for M2M (machine-to-machine) products, and today
consults with companies who want to bring IoT services to market. Together,
we’ll discuss what the future of smart, connected machines might mean for
consumers, businesses and libraries.
The Americas Regional Council (ARC) is hosting the symposium, and will
facilitate member table discussions following the presentation. A brief ARC
update will precede the symposium. We will also be offering a live webcast of
this event.
