THE INTERNET
OF THINGS
(IOT) 

& “BIG DATA”
TREND #1
Image: Matt via Flickr
@PYMLive
THE INTERNET OF THINGS
“Smart” objects can communicate with each other
using the Internet. We can control or “activate”
them using apps or computer programs.
The objects adapt to us based on our behavior and
external factors.
Our interactions become part of “big data.”
@PYMLive
THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Examples:
Nest
If This Than That (IFTTT)
Arduino microcontroller
NYPD’s “Operation
Corral” (Computer Oriented
Retrieval of Auto Larcenists) Image: Arkadiusz Sikorski
@PYMLive
THE INTERNET OF THINGS
“We’ve spent thousands of years designing the
perfect umbrella, the best chair. Why would we
abandon all that to interact with a small black box?
The things we love will become smarter.”
— J. Damany Daniel, “The Event Nerd”
@PYMLive
IOT & BIG DATA
Websites, beacons, NFC/RFID chips, IoT, social
networks — all these things collect data for
marketers, government agencies, old boyfriends, etc.
What digital fingerprints are you leaving?

knows about your “big data,”
