Microsoft Azure IoT overview

The document discusses the evolution of connectivity, computing power, and the Internet of Things (IoT) over time. It describes how early innovations like Moore's Law and Metcalf's Law led to increased device connectivity and processing capabilities. More recent concepts like Koomey's Law show the dramatic increase in computations possible per unit of energy. The document envisions a future where insights can be gained by collecting and analyzing data from a vast network of connected IoT devices. It outlines the steps needed to realize this vision, from developing devices, collecting and securing their data, finding patterns in real-time and over time, managing device software/services, and visualizing the network.
