How the “Internet of
Things” is transforming the global economy
When: Wednesday, October 21
(10:00-11:00am)
Where: Brookings Institution, Saul
Room/Zilkha Lounge, 1775 Massachusetts Ave. NW.
Description: The “Internet of Things” — defined as
the connection of objects to a network, and each other, without using a
computer — allows unprecedented access to and connectivity across wide swaths
of the world economy. Coupled with mobile broadband networks, the Internet of
Things is poised to revolutionize the world in a very brief period of time,
leading to several salient questions: what does this next generation of
technology innovation mean for the business sector, governments and everyday Internet
users? How are these developments relevant to the United States’ and other
nations’ efforts to reform education, support health care, reduce opportunity
gaps in low income communities, and expand economic opportunity for everyone?
What might be the economic implications both domestically and internationally?
How can governments and mobile providers unlock the potential of the Internet
of Things?
On October 21, the Center for
Technology Innovation at Brookings will host a discussion on the ways that the
Internet of Things, fueled by mobile broadband technologies, can have a
far-reaching impact on education, American and global business, and the digital
economy.
After the session, panelists will take
audience questions.
