IoT ist in aller Munde, noch nicht aber in aller Cloud. Nun gibt es endlich den Kühlschrank, in den man über sein Smartphone hineingucken und aus der Ferne seinen Vorrat an Aufschnitt checken kann. Super! Hoffentlich ist der Aufschnitt nicht eingepackt, ansonsten ist es nichts mit der Überprüfung des häuslichen

It was just a few years ago that the idea of an Internet of Things (IoT) seemed far off, something out of a science-fiction movie. After all, why would a vehicle need to talk to the road? Why would our utility meters need to talk to the central office? The
„Die IT liefert nicht, der Fachbereich weiß nicht, was er heute oder morgen an Daten haben will“… Beide haben recht, ein Dilemma, das darin endet, dass Selbsthilfe betrieben wird.
