The Uncomfortable Middle Ground: Part 1

This week I've been immersing myself in all things connected as IBM opened the doors to their stunning new Watson IoT Center Munich. Actually, IoT doesn't go far enough – they call it the Genius of Things. We live in a time when a connected kettle can sit on the same network as our telephone, television, baby monitor, washing machine and every light bulb in the house. In theory, a chain of events can occur when we pull into our smartwatch-sensing garage in our connected car, unlock our smart-door and enter our digital domain, or'home' as it used to be known. Currently, Artificial Intelligence isn't that intelligent and we haven't handed over the reigns just yet because they're not all playing nice.
