Business Model Innovation That Accelerates IOT
   
Abstract:
I am numbering the days to when I can just pick up goods in a store without
having to worry about why and what, and run thru the checkout counter in a
hurry. I love to watch CNN Live on my way back to the dorm so I can keep up
with all the 2016 election frenzy. I am probably the only person with a 802
cell phone number in Taiwan calling back home free of charge. My Vermont
friends are always guessing where I am.

Today, technologists are standing at the door of a new computing paradigm.
The pervasiveness of IOT applications (aka sensing computing) is driving
rapid changes throughout today’s society. Many of today's innovative
entrepreneurs are as young as late teens and early twenties. At Google, 15%
of its new hires have never finished college. With the increase in life
expectancy, mentoring is becoming one of the most fulfilling purposes for the post career professional, giving value back to the industry from their
lifelong experiences and wisdom.

At the fiftieth anniversary of Moore’s Law, we are seeing a silicon resurgence
thru a new kind of business model created in the Silicon Valley, accelerating
startups and leading our industry into next great era. It vets startups
worldwide, incubates the best, and drives IOT innovation to the marketplace.
