“Internet” and “Things” • “Internet” = the future of communications • Increase in capacity and speeds • Speed of light = fastest known speed • Visible light communications • Developments in chip sets and electronics = • biochemical communications; quantum mechanics and computers, etc.

“Internet” and “Things” • “Things’ = designs (built-in capacity) + materials science (long term) • Material sciences = bendable, foldable plastic screens, digital ink, wearables, etc. • “smart” everything = algorithms • Telemetry = sensors, controls, etc.
