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.

@Brandon:
Alas I've never lived in a place large enough that a Sonos system would be a better solution than turning up the volume loud enough to be heard in the few small rooms I have.Yeah, pretty much the same here. It would have been handy for a few parties, but at only ~1/year, it was hard to justify a Sonos vs. the "good-enough" approach of turning up the volume.
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 ;-)

Survive A High-Traffic Event with Percona
Your application or website rely on your database to deliver information about products and services to your customers. You can’t afford to have your database lose performance, lose availability or become unresponsive – even for just a few minutes.
One event, two days, a great line-up of speakers, and 48% female presence. Still have no idea what I’m talking about?
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!!

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.
