title : The Internet of Things: How fifty billion connected devices will change the world speaker - extra spaces
speaker : David Wood, Technology Strategy Lead, Accenture Mobility
venue : BCS, Southampton Street, London, 18:00 for 18:30 start
Billions of tiny sensors embedded in physical things, reporting their state, is a vision labelled ‘The Internet of Things’. According to David, sensors will turn up ubiquitously, in things you control or track – including your car, washing machine, lighting and heating, doors and windows, animals and children, clothing and smart plasters, luggage and packages, the contents of your larder, and all over the environment. David will help you to assess both the exciting opportunities and the potential threats of this next phase of Internet-driven revolution and the vast layers of information it will produce.

David is a futurist well known for his ideas about the way mobile technology will influence business and society. He has spent more than 20 years implementing and using smart mobile devices, with ten years at Psion and ten more with Symbian. In 2009 he was included in T3's list of "100 most influential people in technology". In 2010 he featured in the world's first Augmented Reality CV: http://arcv.cwjobs.co.uk/augmented_reality_cv.
