What would George Orwell say if he was living during our times; Is the Internet of Things only the beginning? We know the times they are a-changing, yet what we don’t know exactly is how fast technology will develop and how this will influence the world. Let’s discuss.  

Welcome to The Internet of Trillions 

With the current rate the Internet of Things is growing, it is expected that by 2040 about a trillion wireless devices will be connected, all sharing data with each other. Most importantly, it is expected that these devices will communicate independently from what will be the “conventional” Internet of that age.  

A blockchain world  

In order for these trillions of devices to communicate, they will carry numerous sensors whose data and information will be share and verified probably over blockchains. This is the rising technology using advanced cryptography and distributed decentralized networks to validate information, transactions, and all forms of exchanges between systems. 

Prediction and intelligence 

The massive use of advanced algorithms and the number of data available from all sources (people, animals, things) will also enable people and systems to analyze data, create patterns, draw conclusions, and take certain actions based on these conclusions.  

Yes, the world will use these resources to become even more intelligent. In addition, processes based on artificial intelligence will accelerate decisions and actions on all aspects of life, such as the way we drive, we communicate, we eat, we do sports, we look after our health.   

1K of connected devices per person 

According to Masayoshi Son, SoftBank CEO, “each individual will have more than 1.000 devices that are connected to the network”.  

Now, you may be wondering: Will it be possible for people to afford 1.000 connected devices?  The answer is no, probable not.  What Masayoshi Son means is that everything in our life will be sharing data with everything else.  

Think of it this way: At home, our refrigerator will be connected and will be sharing data with the oven, with the cupboard and  with supermarket.  

Useful data is only the Safe data 

In order for this “brave new world” to operate effectively, algorithms will need data which will be “healthy”, clean, and stored in safe facilities.  It is obvious that the role of data centers in this future and widely economy will be more than crucial.
