Is Slowing Down Innovation the Key to a More Secure Internet of Things?
It may sound counterintuitive, but could cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) be improved with a slower rate of innovation in the field? With IoT, security compromises don’t just mean a smartphone or computer getting hacked; the interconnected nature of IoT means entire groups of cars, homes, hospitals, and offices could be hacked at […]
AI Can Finally Explain Its Thought Process (Sort Of)
Artificial intelligence (AI) that can comprehend and explain its thoughts is a “holy grail” in the field — one that the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is dedicating $2 billion to over the next five years towards. Now, a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) says they’ve accomplished the […]
Academics Investigate the Age-Old Question: Is Your Phone Secretly Spying on You?
It’s a common belief, especially after the National Security Administration’s scandal with Edward Snowden, that the U.S. Government is spying on its citizens.

Location, Location: One of IoT’s Greatest Obstacles
As the Internet of Things (IoT) develops and grows more connected, there will be an explosion of data points to track, analyze, and record. Naturally, this will bring issues in lack of hardware and software to adequately respond in real-time to situations. Location is the biggest issue for IoT right now. By itself, location data […]
IoT Data Is Transforming How Medtronic, Nest, and Tesla Work
The Internet of Things (IoT) isn’t just about devices; it also centers around connectivity, data sharing, and improved user experiences. Most companies are still trying to get a hold of how developing custom IoT solutions can benefit their operations, but Medtronic, Nest, and Tesla are way ahead of the game. They’re already utilizing IoT data […]
