Internet of Things (IoT)

A growing number of internet-enabled devices that can network and communicate with each other and with other web-enabled gadgets.

Things (e.g. objects, environments, vehicles and clothing) will have more and more information associated with them and may have the ability to sense, communicate, network and produce new information, becoming an integral part of the Internet.

Personal Tips

Dare to dream.

Scratch your own itch.

Form a harmonious team.

Dare to Dream

What your big idea?

Have a definite chief aim.

“You can get everything in life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want.” – Zig Ziglar

Scratch Your Own Itch

“Get out of the building”* – To validate your idea.

Develop your minimum viable product (MVP) early and iterate.

Fail (if you must) and learn from your failures.
