The Internet of Things (IoT) is the description of machine-to-machine devices (as opposed to those requiring use by humans) used in a wide range industries including automation, agriculture, food/beverage, healthcare, utility infrastructure, advertising and manufacturing. A variety of software platforms exist to enable communication and interaction between devices, as well as to help organizations launch, manage, and monetize the deployment of the Internet of Things worldwide.

what trending technology should everybody know about: A couple of years ago it was wearables. I'm still not wearing those. For 2017 it is supposed to be the internet of things, AR/VR, Machine Learning, and other according to this late 2016 forms article. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaysondemers/2016/11/16/7-technology-trends-that-will-dominate-2017/#5f021dc84a51 Alexa is kind of cool and plays good music.
Today a client asked why they have an antiquated credit card reader, you know, those old kinds that read the new EMV chip. "Why don't we have something new and cool like Square?" 2.75% vs 1.8% discount rate for starters.
The point is, there is always going to be something shiny and new that everybody wants to jump on for just being new. The important thing I am reminded of each week, what problem are you trying to solve? Too many times that question gets pushed to the side and we try and solve a problem that does not exist just to use the new thing.
The way to solve problems is through Active Listening and that is my trending technology I want to work at.

Huh... I really like how you thought "outside the box" on this, Scott. Nice article on Active Listening. I completely agree that it's a great skill to work on and one that not enough people seem to understand the value of. And overall, this is a great reminder of the need for tech to solve real problems and the dangers of "shiny new thing" syndrome.

I'll counter you on wearables though... I love my Apple Watch! I love not having to pull out my wallet when paying for things or needing to grab my phone to check notifications. And setting a timer when cooking or doing laundry just by talking to my watch is super awesome. While all of these examples are certainly "shiny new" ways of doing things, I find the ease of use to be a noticeable improvement.
I'll agree that the battery life sucks though.
Also, something that really interests me about VR is the potential for it to help solve communication problems. I can easily foresee a time where active listening with remote participants is easier thanks to VR tech. Might be a pipe dream, but I'll still dream ;-)

One event, two days, a great line-up of speakers, and 48% female presence. Still have no idea what I’m talking about?
Need protection from advanced malware attacks?
Look no further than WatchGuard's Total Security Suite, providing defense in depth against today's most headlining attacks like Petya 2.0 and WannaCry. Keep your organization out of the news with protection from known and unknown threats.
I took on this little project as a proof of concept for IoT devices. My main goals were to find the easiest, cheapest way to stream data to the cloud. This article describes how to stream telemetry data to ThingSpeak via REST API. This can also be done with Azure IoT hub with a local gateway.
In case you never want to do laundry again- Thanks Amazon!
We should probably get one of these for the office!!

This article is subjected to educate the readers about the strategies that they can adopt to ensure IoT success. This article covers three preferred strategies to succeed in IoT implementation. A general introduction and rising popularity of IoT is roughly mentioned in the beginning.
Smart phones, smart watches, Bluetooth-connected devices—the IoT is all around us. In this article, we take a look at the security implications of our highly connected world.

Will AR (Augmented Reality) be the future of shopping in a store? Seems pretty neat. Not to be confused with PoGo. ;)

I sincerely hope (and believe) that we'll be able to get away from the current situation of people constantly looking at their phones. For AR to really live up to its full potential, we'll have to have it in some way that doesn't involve looking down at a phone screen (since, as Juana noted, you still have to interact with the world and a mobile phone makes that terrible!).
Google Glass may have failed, but I think that was more a matter of the tech not being quite ready yet. Socially, people weren't ready for it, and the design of it was far too goofy/geeky looking to take off for any sort of mainstream adoption. (Not to mention a high price point for something so new, without clear benefits.)
But take a look at how Snapchat is working on their glasses and have tried to apply some decent style to it. And when you consider that Apple has been dropping tons of hints about seriously getting into AR, I imagine we're getting very close to good wearable solutions.

And perhaps one day, we'll get to have a direct brain interface. Elon Musk is already on it!

The business world is becoming increasingly integrated with tech. It’s not just for a select few anymore — but what about if you have a small business? It may be easier than you think to integrate technology into your small business, and it’s likely to be worth the investment.
Internet of Things and Security....something to take note of.

The next five years are sure to bring developments that are just astonishing, and we will continue to try to find the balance between connectivity and security. Here are five major technological developments from the last five years and some predictions for the future.
I bought a Pi Zero W to try out a $10 computer with internet access. I hope it arrives soon :)

@Lucas - Thanks for mentioning that! We've definitely got a display bug there... When you look at your comment on the post's standalone page, it should be correct, but the feed view is currently displaying it in the wrong spot. We'll get a fix out in the near future for that.
