I am invited to attend second edition of B.E Summit's "High on cloud" conference scheduled on 28th & 29th May 2014. I want to dedicate this blog to the cloud community and specially to BE summits.
Through this blog, I wish to share my vision of what technology in general and "Internet of things" & cloud in particular can do for us.
With the life getting extremely busy, noisy; when minutes & seconds also matter; can technology help us reduce chaos and mess that we end up living with? I think "Internet of things" and cloud technology can play a huge role here.
Imagine a virtual cloud in which a section is owned by you and you call it "My home", "Internet of things" and cloud has the potential to drive massive changes in the way we live our life today. Some examples can be:
1) Alarm info on cloud to wake me up after 7 hrs of sleep. "Internet of things" device automatically realizes when I went to bed and sets a alarm for 7 hrs later. Of course I should be allowed to change it.
2) I am a music lover and hence I will wish my music library to be on cloud and infact will wish songs to be played as soon as I wake up.
3) A personal assistant(an app) that pushes my schedule on cloud and then to my devices. I should be able to create my schedule while I complete my morning chores.
4) Contact info list on cloud. I should be able to grab this info and should be able to make calls, send email, chat ect.
5) Contact info should also remember birthdays,anniversaries and send mail, greetings or schedule calls for me.
6) Information about schedules of my cook,maid ,milk men, iron men etc and also act if they do not turn up on time.
7) Information about grocery availability and live status. It should be prompting me to order stuff which is about to complete.
8) Temperature control and ability to access it from anywhere.
9) Security system configs and info. App to ensure my house is secured.
10) Personalized Digital library of books, videos, and music files on cloud. Parts of it can be shared with family and friends.
11) Many more things can be achieved I owned a house on cloud and used "Internet of things" powered devices to push info to the cloud.
Won't it be nice to see an exact 3D image replica of house that you live in on cloud. And each room is represented on this replica on cloud and is driven using "internet of things".
I will love to see technology making our life easy. I expect cloud technology & "Internet of things" to evolve rapidly thereby constructively impacting millions of lives and not just businesses.
Will love to hear your thoughts.
Come join me @ "My Home" cloud,
Umesh
