They’re coming online with a 1 Mbps connection and access to the world’s information on Google, cloud 3D printing, Amazon Web Services, artificial intelligence with Watson, crowdfunding, crowdsourcing, and more. And they are not coming online like we did 20 years ago with a 9600 modem on AOL. They represent tens of trillions of new dollars flowing into the global economy. We will grow from three to eight billion connected humans, adding five billion new consumers into the global economy. 8 Billion Hyper-Connected Peopleįacebook (), SpaceX, Google (Project Loon), Qualcomm and Virgin (OneWeb) are planning to provide global connectivity to every human on Earth at speeds exceeding one megabit per second. With a trillion sensors gathering data everywhere (autonomous cars, satellite systems, drones, wearables, cameras), you’ll be able to know anything you want, anytime, anywhere, and query that data for answers and insights. We’re heading towards a world of perfect knowledge. Cisco’s recent report estimates the IoE will generate $19 trillion of newly created value. This will lead to a trillion-sensor economy driving a data revolution beyond our imagination. By 2025, the IoE will exceed 100 billion connected devices, each with a dozen or more sensors collecting data. The Internet of Everything describes the networked connections between devices, people, processes and data. In 2025, $1,000 should buy you a computer able to calculate at 10^16 cycles per second (10,000 trillion cycles per second), the equivalent processing speed of the human brain. In 2025, in accordance with Moore’s Law, we’ll see an acceleration in the rate of change as we move closer to a world of true abundance. Here are eight areas where we’ll see extraordinary transformation in the next decade: 1.
