Intel has called on the tech industry to make Internet of Things (IoT) technology a viable option for mainstream users. In The Data Society Manifesto, Intel has outlined nine key areas — including higher standards of education, acting upon both privacy and security concerns, and for users to "stop storing everything" — in which technology companies and governments can make the IoT a reality.
Intel's Kumar Balasubramanian says the technology already is feasible and businesses should be working to make use of it. "There are a lot of reasons to be excited about the IoT," Balasubramanian says. "It's not about IoT as a promise for IoT a decade or five years from now, this is IoT for here and now."
However, in order to make full use of the huge amount of IoT data being gathered, changes need to be made in the way the technology industry looks at this area, according to Intel. Intel wants to focus on training more skilled data scientists, as it will help stakeholders to ask questions and make sense of big data pools. A recent United Kingdom government think tank report highlighted the IoT as an area of huge opportunity for the manufacturing sector.
