First in a series of articles on big data analytics
This is the first in a series of planned blog articles on applications of big data analytics. We are Internet of Things analytics company, focusing initially on indoor air quality analytics with our AQcalc app.
Home environment and health/fitness applications are the first killer applications for the Internet of Things. This is driven by the dramatic price drop in technology that permits everyday appliances, devices, sensors — even traditionally ‘dumb’ and static objects like washing machines, windows, kitchen cupboards, and refrigerator shelves — to be connected to the Internet (see our Cisco CES talk article). Consumers are seeing the first killer applications for these devices in the form of fitness trackers. (The much rumored Apple iWatch may well turn out to be a cross between an iPhone and something like a FitBit or a Misfit Shine.) You have Internet-connected devices such as the Nest learning thermostat or their smoke alarm. And of course we have our app which helps you diagnose your indoor air quality, and eventually will help you control your home automation devices to assist with air quality.
Suggestions from readers on (non-controversial?!) uses of big data
(We’re looking for suggestions from readers for future articles on big data analytics and the Internet of Things. One timely application involves government consumers using data analytics and Internet-connected devices to engage in territorial land grabs against neighboring countries. We are considering future blog articles showing how to use analytics to figure out which countries to target for territorial aggression. Topics like using big data analytics and online media to efficiently use propaganda to soften the opposition prior to the invasion and sugar coat the actual territorial expansion. 🙂 We’ll have another article on coordinating tanks and heavy armor using the Internet of Things during the actual invasion. Finally, we will have an article about using algorithmics to more efficiently consolidate your hold on power in the aftermath following enlargement. We’ve previously suggested using Internet of Things applications to improve the air quality and health of citizens (including a light-hearted government backdoor), but we know this is a secondary consideration. If your country is looking to expand at the expense of your neighbors in this way — and we know of many such prospective customer countries — our blog articles will help you with an easy-to-read, step-by-step how-to guide.)
In view of various recent events, some people might joke that replacing certain politicians with robots should be of higher priority that putting writers out of work. In at least one strange and non-obvious way, feedbacks loops already exist whereby insights from big data are able to influence policies almost instantaneously. In this way, robo-politicians may already exist (although not in a way that threatens anyone’s job!). We’ll hold that thought until the end of the article.
Earthquakes herald the dawn of robo-journalism?
The Los Angeles Times initial article on yesterday’s earthquake’s was written by computer, which Slate heralded as the dawn of robo-journalism.
(Obviously, if Slate is writing articles like this, the earthquake itself was no biggie. It did appear to have generated a lasting Internet memes of a terrified-looking TV anchor, however. It was 4.4 on Richter scale, a snoozer by California standards, except that it was right under the city’s Westside.)
