Lots of great coverage this week on security within the Internet of Things, views from future thinkers Tim O'Reilly and Arthur C. Clarke, demo videos and of course information on the upcoming IoTFuse conference coming to the Twin Cities on March 19th! Oh, and we've got some cool jobs in IoT posted this week as well!
News
Tim O'Reilly Explains the Internet of Things
Great article from a forward thinking leader. I especially like how he points out that people continue to use the same old business model with new technology. This is the wrong approach.

What Comes next after We're Done with the Internet of Things?
Article takes a look at the question of, "Ok, so now what?". Focuses on what happens after we are finally able to track and record everything that IoT promises. Three themes play out: Job seeking - not killer robots, Virtual reality and Experience.
