The Internet of Everything - Mobile Week - CTO Talks


In the near future all objects that you interact with will be “smart.” What does that actually mean? Objects like doorknobs, coffee makers, water bottles, etc. will be fitted with sensors to make our lives even more easy but more importantly they will be capturing data on us.

The IOT, brings us to a data intensive method. The amount of data being gathered by those sensors will change the way scientists test. High processing industrial computers were created to simulate many processes to scale. In the near future we will not have to simulate, we will be able to measure what we want.

SPIMES are objects that be aware of space and time. All sensors are SPIMES. This leads to the Big DATA evolution. What matters is the data, because now technology has become cost effective. 


The Role of CTO has been integral to the success of a company but often the CTO has often been relegated to the kid’s table in the C-Suite. As technology has advanced to the point now that CTO is more important than ever before. IT departments have been steadily growing as traditional companies are becoming more focused on technology infrastructure, cloud computing, etc. There are a number archetypes that the CTO has fallen under: the founder, the pitch man, the quiet one. However the role of the CTO is to remain a visionary. They have to take in a vision of what will happen and how to manage the advances as they come.

Matt Quinn predicts that the future of digital business will be fought between who is the fastest to an insight.  


My takeaways from the mobile week conference are:
The Internet of Things, is really the Internet of Everything.
SPIMES - objects that are aware of space and time, were basically only humans until recently.

The Role of the CTO is evolving and becoming exponentially more important as time passes.

AdWeek 2018, 1 Year Later | William Howard

I fully anticipated attending ADWeek 2018 as soon as I moved to New York. I did not expect AD Week 2018 to come to me. I was living on West 70th Street and AD Week 2018 was a short 3 minute walk from my bedroom, so I had the privilege of attending multiple sessions and dropping in and out as I saw fit, able to return home with ease. I attended sessions each day of ADWeek, but attended the majority on opening day. I wanted to get a wide perspective of the industry at that very moment, and was not disappointed. The first session I attended was hosted by Fer Machado, CMO of Burger King. I was sure to live tweet his session, as his focus was on the power of creativity for brands that are not the leader in their category. I left with a refreshed understanding and appreciation of risk, and the necessity of risk with regards to creativity, you cannot be a cautious creative. If your brand wants to stand out, you have to be willing to take creative risks, to get the attention your brand needs,

Session: “Smarter Social Storytelling | Gary Vee Interview” | linkedin.com/in/garyvaynerchuk/ Notable Quote: “Stay Agile: be ready to pivot … Be Human: focus on being empathetic … Serve: be of service to others … Play more: experiment; explore; worst thing to do is to not try new things” Gary is already so well known for this expertise in media strategy and his raw, unfiltered delivery, but this particular interview gave me a much stronger understanding of how he thinks and why his mind is so valuable. One of the most noteworthy things that Gary shed light on is how he is able to land on his insights that often feel near psychic. He explained that his main strategy is to study cycles of human habits in order to predict what should be expected in the future. The example that he gave was in response to why he so heavily advocates for collecting baseball cards. Gary’s explanation is that if you look into the generation that collected baseball cards, you will notice that they are now beco
