What did you do before you had a connected device to guide you? It wasn’t all that long ago that the average person needed a payphone in order to make a call away from home; a physical map in order to find directions; or an encyclopedia (not an app) to find an answer. But for each new generation, those ideas become more and more like customs from an ancient society.
What began as a small niche industry focusing on machines talking to machines, has exploded into a revolution. Overtaking the simple business-to-business concept with which it began, connected devices and M2M technology are transforming the way data appears in the gadgets that consumers have come to depend on everyday through products such as tablets, ereaders, GPS, fitness devices, and many more.
Connected World magazine is the go-to source for your devices– the gadgets that are shaping the world around us. Just as those devices are guiding how we interact and conduct business, they too are being shaped by the technology that powers them.
Pick up the issue to learn why people around the globe are excited about the connected revolution.
