51. The Internet of Things, with Alex Besen

On this episode of the podcast we look at the Internet of Things and how connected devices will change the way we interact with the world around us. We look at how the Internet of Things will eventually mean that the Internet as we know it fades into the background of our everyday lives, how mobile and the Internet of Things will feed off of one another symbiotically, and what a typical "day in the life" might look like thanks to the IoT in 5-10 years.  Alex Besen joins us to discuss these topics and more.
