What We're Reading

Once is a great while you come across a blogger who takes a subject in the limelight, such as Ted Cruz's ridiculous tweet today on Net Neutrality, and he proceeds to absolutely NAIL it explaining why he's wrong in such a way, that even a 5th grader can understand it. 

It's gone viral on Facebook and the comments continue to fly in.  Nice effort on Cruz's part to get the 'uninformed' and 'Obama haters' to turn against Net Neutrality without even knowing why..........because Cruz says so!  He has, after all, recently issed a comic book entitled "Ted Cruz Saves America".  *LOL*  This is classic.  Read on.

We hear the phrase "internet of things" (IoT) bandied about and for many Americans, there's no clue exact "what" it defines.  It probably has a lot more to do with Net Neutrality than you realize however and spending in this get-connected area, is expected to more than quadruple by 2020, according to e-Marketer.

Indeed, according to them, there is no standard definition for the “internet of things” (IoT). The term generally denotes an advanced level of networked connectivity between objects, platforms, systems and services that enables the exchange of data without human intervention. The premise behind the IoT is that any object, whether natural or manufactured, can gain the ability to transmit data over a network.

Not only can you unlock your home or your car remotely, but you can track shipments, hail a cab, easily monitor calorie intake, transmit medical records, schedule appointments............the areas of future connectivity seem endless.
