IoT is giving people the latest experience of "the future is here." How far away are we from a practical, daily IoT experience that touches the majority of Americans?

Get out the guacamole, because you're going to hear a lot about chips on this week's Internet of Things Podcast! ARM announced a new architecture for machine learning called Trillium and said it would license an object detection design and one that could handle some basic training at the edge. Amazon, too, is building a chip for its edge devices and machine learning will certainly have a part to play. Also on this week's podcast, Stacey and Kevin cover Intel's smart glasses, Kevin's opinions on the Apple HomePod and Google's new IoT hire. They also answer a listener's question about using different profiles with the Amazon Echo.
