The Internet of Intelligent Things: Dave Evans guides you to The Connected Future

Have you ever wondered how the technology that is shaping our world works? There is a constant barrage of new technologies but the plain language that describes them as well as their implications is often illusive. And, with these new technologies come new questions. Will there be a robot uprising? Will we be able to grow enough food in the future? Should I be worried about my privacy? What is artificial intelligence anyway? Will we ultimately merge with technology? Books about technology can intimidating. This is not that book. This book has been written to be approachable and easy to understand. This book provides an introduction to a host of technologies and trends that explain our technological present and our technological future. Set against the backdrop of two colliding technologies – artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, this book explores and educates the reader on a host of technologies that are transforming the world. From the background and history that brought us to this point, to the technologies driving this transformation, to the implications it will have for humanity and the opportunities it will provide, this book explores this coming era.


What do we think of the book? ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The Internet of Intelligent Things is a must-read book for everyone who wants to know where humankind is heading with connected technology and AI. If you want to understand the past, present, and the future of our relationship with the networking technology in a very entertaining, thought-provoking, and easy to read way this is the book for you. You’ll educate yourself on what matters in the digital world today, in the future, and get the equivalent of a Discovery channel program in 6 hours of easy reading.

The book creates the "mental scaffolding" for you to build a deeper understanding of the present and future trends in technology as you’ll be exposed to them in the media and expert literature.

You will not find a better and more qualified person to take you on this exciting journey than Dave Evans. His extensive experience as Chief Futurist at Cisco and a lifelong passion for technology is the perfect combination to present you with this fascinating world. Dave not only nicely outlines the networking and internet evolution timeline but puts things into historical context, so you understand not only what happened but as well why. The Internet of Intelligent Things is thought-provoking, educational, and inspirational guide that gives you a greater understanding of the things you hear every day but might not internalize - covering facts and topics like:

  • Did you know that the number 1.99GHZ on your computer chip means that your computer refreshes almost 2 billion times per second? 

  • What is more important for intelligence - the data or the connections?

  • Do you want to know what is Elon Musk's view of AI? What does Bill Gates think of this topic?

  • Do you want to know how small our computers and devices will become? Will they be able all to connect?

  • You find the clarification of the terminology in a simple language e.g. Back Propagation = train itself

  • What is the difference between the Internet and the Cloud and why it matters?

After reading Dave's book a new world of possibilities will open up for you. You will be amazed at how many of them you can leverage already today. Stay hungry, keep discovering, delve into the Internet of Intelligent Things.

Disrupting Class by Clayton M. Christensen

Disrupting Class by Clayton M. Christensen

According to recent studies in neuroscience, the way we learn doesn't always match up with the way we are taught. If we hope to stay competitive-academically, economically, and technologically-we need to rethink our understanding of intelligence, reevaluate our educational system, and reinvigorate our commitment to learning. In other words, we need "disruptive innovation."

The same apply for learning in business. The way we trained and maintained our knowledge are obsolete. New systems for disruptive learning need to be implemented. This is the reason why we recommend “Disrupting Class” in our Transformation manual < Idea to Impact >

Now, in his long-awaited new book, Clayton M. Christensen and coauthors Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson take one of the most important issues of our time-education-and apply Christensen's now-famous theories of "disruptive" change using a wide range of real-life examples. Whether you're a school administrator, government official, business leader, parent, teacher, or entrepreneur, you'll discover surprising new ideas, outside-the-box strategies, and straight-A success stories. You'll learn how:

  • Customized learning will help many more students succeed in school

  • Student-centric classrooms will increase the demand for new technology

  • Computers must be disruptively deployed to every student

  • Disruptive innovation can circumvent roadblocks that have prevented other attempts at school reform

  • We can compete in the global classroom-and get ahead in the global market

Filled with fascinating case studies, scientific findings, and unprecedented insights on how innovation must be managed, Disrupting Class will open your eyes to new possibilities, unlock hidden potential, and get you to think differently. Professor Christensen and his coauthors provide a bold new lesson in innovation that will help you make the grade for years to come.

The future is now. Class is in session.
