When we launched this channel, our very first episode was about the Internet of Things, and how this technology might affect our day-to-day lives at home. Now, over 100 episodes later (when did THAT happen?!) we felt it was time to give this topic an update. What happens when the Internet of Things goes global, and what will we need to do for us to reach this vision of the future?

I'm french and it's one's off my favorite channel.
I'm waiting every new video with impatience.
Thanks for all
Congrats on your 100th episode, Jonathan and the crew at FW: Thinking that help make each episode awesome. Thank you for all your hard work, truly. Whenever I watch videos here on this channel, I also look forward (pun intended) to seeing each and every episode. Also, I can always find information on experimental and prototype technology not yet widely, here on this channel.
It's hard to say which is my favorite video out of all of them; each one are so good. BUT.. If I had to choose which one, out of them all, I pick the 3-D Printing (the quick fabrication of a home by the Chinese venture company and 3-D Printer Oven for food, so tasty)!
A subject I like to see is: future materials. I know you guys did a video on Thor's Hammer and super strength / tensile materials but I like to see what the future will be built from, made from and its foundation look like - other new special materials.
Again thanks for sharing and uploading these vids!
Congratulations guys!!! Many many 100's more!
Congrats with the 100th episode.
Maybe for a future topic: why do we have all kind of different companies and brands? why are they not helping each other to make better thing? Only Toyota is releasing his/her new engine but what if al companies and brands are working together to make better cars or laptops or in matter of speaking "future stuff".
Congrats on 100. My favorite episodes are the ones about the future of lasers.
Congrats dude.. Would like to see an episode on future astronauts gear like bio suit etc :)
Happy anniversary, Jonathan!
Another brilliant dream-triggering episode, by the way! =)
I'm always thinking about how people 100 years ago would react if they understood just how far technology would come in such a short time. It's amazing.
Congrats on the 100! I've probably been subscribed since... 50 :D About the video, won't main roads still be busy? There's only so much you can divert until the roads get clogged up once again unless we all have flying cars.
Here is my question/topic suggestion: What will we do when machines are so efficient at a wide spectrum of things that there just isn't demand for people to do work any more? Or at least not enough demand to employ a substantial fraction of the population. Does the whole economy implode? Do we move to some new kind of economy?
There enters the Venus Project, or something alike. =)
Capitalism will be, that day, completely obsolete, by definition. It will be useless when we have enough machines that make (and repair) machines that make everything else work for us. Productive work will be pointless, as well as salary. A monetary system is based on scarcity, which will cease to exist for most or all things.
Yes a new economy is inevitable. Look up "resource based economy" proposed by The Venus project and Zeitgeist Movement. Also look up Zero Marginal Cost and Third Industrial Revolution by Jeremy Rifkin, which is about the transition from current top-down capitalism to peer-to-peer lateral power economy through technology, automation, and internet of things.
john smith You may be right. I tend to sound too dreamy, but, well, that kind of has a point, because I tend to find reasonable that there will be an intelligence explosion at some point. I hope it happens too soon, like in 15 years or so. But it may take many decades, or simply never happen in this fashion.
Given an intelligence explosion, there's singularity; by definition, it's daring and naïve to make conjectures on the times of singularity, but, well, I find it reasonable that human intelligence won't be necessarily needed to make improvements and self-improvements to machines.
I'm reading an interesting article by Brian Tomasik on a site called "Foundational Research". An excerpt of it:
"This attitude began to change as I learned more cognitive science. Before 2008, my ideas about human cognition were vague. Like most science-literate people, I believed the brain was a product of physical processes, including firing patterns of neurons. But I lacked further insight into what the black box of brains might contain. This led me to be confused about what “free will” meant until mid-2008 and about what “consciousness” meant until late 2009. Cognitive science showed me that the brain was in fact very much like a computer, at least in the sense of being a deterministic information-processing device with distinct algorithms and modules. When viewed up close, these algorithms could look as “dumb” as the kinds of algorithms in narrow AI that I had previously dismissed as “not really intelligence.” Of course, animal brains combine these seemingly dumb subcomponents in dazzlingly complex and robust ways, but I could now see that the difference between narrow AI and brains was a matter of degree rather than kind. It now seemed plausible that broad AI could emerge from lots of work on narrow AI combined with stitching the parts together in the right ways."
20 years from now people will pay good money to experience boredom...
They already do
That's a really cool and impressive look into the future.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow, it does sound pretty cool. (: Also, (you might have already done this, but just in case) an episode on Hyper loops would be cool.
Thank you so much every day i get on youtube hoping to see your videos and i wanted to let you know i had an f in science and then i started to watch you and you inspired me to like science so and now im at a A in science so again thank you so much and keep it up
I wrote my paper about this in my writing course. Very interesting stuff, I say bring it on!
I'm currently in grade ten and my education is my main priority. But with the technical revolution that we are experiencing I can help but think how it will affect education. I think this would be an interesting video seeing as those we teach today will be making the discoveries of tomorrow.
Make a video on how the human colonies on other planets would be and also on how the space colonies would be...
I'd like to see a video on your thoughts about the Microsoft Hololens, please
I love this show!!! keep the videos comig and I'll keep whatching. I know you keep talking about the futer but it's a show about tecnoligy after all.
On one of ur videos u said 'soon we'll be able to make a crystal with just light ' when the time comes we could use that for a 3d printer then that will run off of the light that would be awesome
Sci-Fi Tech that's real was really good.
Next topic? My suggestion is that a video should either be made for exo-terrestrial/endo-terrestrial human habitats of the future (Basically something like Rapture or Columbia from BioShock or Elysium from...Elysium), or an episode on what future human intelligence will be like when augmented through natural or artificial means, (the brain's power is boosted by genetic manipulation or aided by AI).
The video is amazing and it is really useful. I would like to suggest you to create a video about the usage of IoT in education sector including the current usage of IOT in education, future of education with IoT, smart classroom concept etc... Thank you.
a segment on the future of aquaculture. Our arable land is all tied up, but our arable ocean has not been tapped into. Kelp, fish, and shellfish farming, will all be in the near future.
wow! this is the first episode I've watched , how poor I am. But, glad I'm now subscribed to one more best things on youtube :)
Governments would not be confined to tapping your phone calls, and your e-mails: every item in your streets, workplaces, cars and homes would spy on you! Yay!
+tahi laci not only that but corporations can do it too, don't enjoy how much they're screwing you over? great, just everyone buy into this nonsense and take it to the next level!
***** You guys should do an episode on the possibility of plants thinking and feeling and discuss potential uses for technology that takes advantage of the phenomenon. For instance, there is a mold that has been found to make the most efficient possible paths to food sources and there has been interest in using it to design highways.
Awesome! Anything on the Intelligent Trolley?
I am a big fan of yours sir. You makes amazing videos. Plz keep it up
The "never stop on a red light" sounds like a super-traveling-salesman problem. They computers needed for that kind of processing will have to be tremendous. FIY: even the common traveling salesman problem is still unsolvable. Whoever comes up with the algorithm, will potentially be the richest man in the world.
in the 70's they didnt think that a car phone would be possible.......................having gps tell you when and how to get around stop lights is not too far off
I m from India n ur video was really amazing.
I just only want to know, will Arduino Ethernet shield be the best suitable device for communicating with other devices in future in case of IOT?
or any other devices has more potential than this?
awesome i just ask about what the program you use for the video please
Very Awesome explanation.
what are 5 challenges in implementation?
Sir can you suggest me how to make ppt for seminar......?
Thanks for the this video, it helped a lot.
Topic Suggestion :
Self entrepreneurship in the future.
How do you remove non carbon polluters like aerosols from the air?
P.S I liked the one with the new greenhouse ideas.
What about security? What if the IoT object has no/little/weak security? Then it could be controlled or a virus could be planted in it.
lol funny how security is not even mentioned as a Challenge! lol
It'll go Jetsons on us. No matter how easy things get, there will always be something to complain about.
Long before the internet of things is a thing, completely automatic cars will be a thing, so hopefully the world of no traffic jams will come much sooner than expected.
Within your own house, there is at least a possibility of making everything just work out for you all the time (assuming you can get past all the security issues which is a tough sell for skeptic these days), but the example with the red lights is really stretching it pretty far past just plain optimism. Here's why I'd say that:
It would be totally possible if you had a very limited number of cars on the road, but assuming (and this is pretty big assumption) that it's physically possible to coordinate the lights so that thousands of cars all passing through the same area ALL never hit red lights... why would even still *have* red lights? What purpose would they serve? They aren't a spontaneously existing force of nature we need to overcome somehow. They're a human made device we set up as a compromise once traffic passed the point where it was necessary to shared the road more efficiently.
Smarter traffic lights (say, ones that don't make you stop when the road you're yielding to is empty, for instance) would be welcome. But if you tried to set up a system that changes the lights based on signals from cars in transit, I think it's way more likely someone would hack the system illegally and rig it so they THEY never hit a red light, at the expense of all those who don't hack well enough to do the same.
One thing to consider is the predictive calculations happening with self driving cars. If done right- There wouldn't be a need for red lights at all, you're absolutely right. Only humans need such guidance as that. A properly tuned and optimized driverless car scenario would hardly need to stop at all, able to safely guide itself between moving traffic with precise calculations, or even at its lowest most basic form? There's often a substantial delay between when a red light turns green and when a human driver begins to move. A computer controlled car could shave off quite a bit of time by eliminating that. At the same time, most of what causes traffic jams comes down to human error, like what is pointed out in this infographic toyotaofdmblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/what-causes-traffic-infographic.png That kind of scenario would never happen with driverless cars, so the general congestion of traffic would be lessened to an insane amount. It's some things worth thinking about.
ShadowAtlan
That is a very good point. (And thanks BTW for that infographic --- This is the first time I've heard of traffic shockwave effects, and I've had first hand cause to wonder about that phenomenon at least twice a day for that past 20 years now). I can readily see how highway systems could easily benefit by removing the human drivers from the equation. Now, for city traffic, I can also see human psychology being an issue:
If you had heavy cross traffic through ten, twenty, or thirty successive city blocks worth of intersections, I could see having the networking computers space the vehicles out and time it to allow them alternate their arrival times at the intersection, but you'd pretty much have to eliminate all human intervention in the traffic management, since you have whole generations of drivers conditioned to stop at intersections to avoid collisions.
But now you end up with questions that have two very different sets of answers, such as "how big a gap to we leave between cars?" and "should we at least slow down as we approach the intersections?" In terms of pure efficiency, you might get one set of answers. In terms of psychological comfort levels, you might get totally different answers. For instance, if I'm whipping through intersections and it feels to me as if the cross traffic is barely given room enough to clear the lane before I glide on through myself, I don't know how long it would take before I could ride without a blindfold to avoid heart complications. :-)
A lot of people know other people they hate to ride along with because they strike them as crazy drivers. Studying what people do to make us feel that way and "teaching" future cars not to do those things (even if would be nominally more efficient) is probably going to be a necessary consideration, too.
hmmm hey, cars eventually marching at 20 centimeters per minute aren't technically 'stopped'... hehehe
Does that solve the problem? =P
Point one: if we had that level of tech we would not need cars. Two: if every future car is running the same system there would still be lots of traffic given humans are in control of the car. The only answer is a system that's auto & the people ride inside of. Plus the roads have to fit the population number order for it to work, otherwise there will be gridlock! Then any traffic or crash would be the computers vault in the grid that keeps all the cars in control. The system will only be on freeways then manual on side streets, dirt roads ect..
Would love your thoughts about natural language processing...please do share
The other truth about a wired car is that law enforcement will be able to tell exactly when you had your hit-and-run, or other traffic violation, and mustering a legal defense will be all the more difficult. This will make it less desirable to be the designated driver. I suppose IoT will also be watching when you enter your home, when you turn on various appliances, how much energy you waste, how much water you waste, how much food you waste, and with peer pressure and a bit of guilt inspiring cajoling, can manipulate you into trying harder to be less wasteful. Couples will be able to more easily spy on their significant other -- more than just reading chat, or voyerism. IoT network security will be a bit non-trivial. It won't be a 1984 big brother reality. It will be more of a big "family" reality.
+morpher44 Then don't be unfaithful or dishonest.
True. But also if you don't trust your spouse, and want to spy on them 24-7, I would argue the trust is lost and the relationship is already damaged. Same with an employer. If the employer installs software to turn on your laptop mic or camera w/o you knowing it, the trust is lost.
+morpher44 Umm its called Facebook and Social media.
+morpher44 this is a complete train wreck, all in all most things people want to do with this is a terrible idea, putting sensors all over machines, like for example cars is next to useless, half the time it's the sensor breaking not the part, and the proprietary patented part replacement that contains the sensor will cost 5x what it should, just like they do already, stores don't need to know anything more about their customers, they know more than they need already it's not the damn hard to have what someone needs.
rambling a bit here but the actual important part is if people buy into this it will only be abused, by corporations, by governments, probably even criminals, they'll use it in more ways than you can imagine to gain more power.
Superb man
Could you please explain how IoT works in banking industry. . .?
can you please speak about the point where we are able to surpass our genetic code and make limbs and organs that can last longer and be more efficient.
sir i want to learn basics of IOT.from where i can learn...give me some idea.
+Abhijeet Adhikary it's a gimmick, learn about the actual internet
+Abhijeet Adhikary here is online sepcialization for IOT www.coursera.org/specializations/internet-of-things
Thanku Sir...
Iwouldnt want that having everything constantly connected to each other sounds too overwhelming
can we change the education system using internet??
It will happen slowler than you think. There are many security issues
Talk about the future - Type 1 civilization
Just like with the last episode on the Internet of Things, I am once again on the fence.
On the one hand, this sounds great. I hate driving. Auto-driving cars plus the internet of things? That's about 80% of the inconvenience I anticipate in my life literally just gone. That's great.
On the other hand, this is essentially possible to turn into a mass-surveillance scheme extremely easily. Houses will have it, cars will have it, roadways will have it, business transportation will have it. I'm not exactly comfortable with a system that can watch our every move, as well as administrate our movement in some respects. There's really not a lot of space between this kind of potential and reality scenario, and that's honestly a little bit uncomfortable. Maybe I'm "living in the past" or something, but I really do not like how the risks involved with this sound.
You know, I caught this comment at the exact time when me and my other friend were talking about advancements in technology.
The timing is incredibly eerie.
***** Eerie indeed.
south korea already is the most wired country in the world. there are cameras everywhere. but nobody is freaking out about it over there. you know why, because they are just living their respectable lives, and going about their day, earning their paychecks so they can pay their landlords. Think about the prices of oil, food, manufacturing costs...the prices would decrease because of the efficiency would go up. higher efficiency = more product for less cost = consumers dont have to spend as much......

Go! Go! Go!
You should make an episode about tge possibility of robotic dogs
Do a video on the VENUS PROJECT AND THE GLOBAL AWAKENING :)
Will we run out of electricity ?
Hey, could you talk about Basic Income?
I think that people need to know about it and at least make up their minds. I think that we are in desperate need of a solution to the problem of income in a world with ever increascing automation that gets better and cheaper over time. Soon most jobs will be replaced by machines, and that's a GOOD thing, but we need to separate our labor from our income if we want to avoid a riot.
A universal basic income is ridicules. Where will we get the money for this. The rich? No of course not, because governments want to keep the rich in there country and they will do whatever it takes like tax cuts. The only solution is getting rid of the monetary system and having a resource based economy. Search up The Venus Project for more info.
www.thevenusproject.com/en/
Malcolm Macarthur At least you agree we have a problem and we need a solution. The money comes from rich people, yes. Will they do it? I don't know. I still know that if they did, it would be good for 99% of people that are not super rich, so who knows? Your solution is most certainly not "the only solution" but I don't want to exclude anything.
Malcolm Macarthur
Anyway a resource-based economy sounds pretty obsolete. Won't you need a way to symbolyze your wealth so you can store it? Or do you think people will be ok with having only stuff as a form of wealth? Probably they'll start having some symbol to represent wealth, like a piece of paper? Anything similar comes to mind?
The thing is when money is gone objects don't have value. The resource-based economy would have a central hub where most of the resources will be available. Gold would be available to the public also but since it has no value what's the point of having a shiny yellow cold metal. Today people buy things for there home so they can keep it for the them-self because it has value because it is SCARCE. But when a person has an ABUNDANCE of paper for example they would share the paper with others because they don't know what to do with so much paper. Since the car has no value in the system a person would share their car with others and if it breaks, o well, the person would recycle the car and get a new one from the hub to share. This system works only when there is an abundance of at least the necessary needs of humans on earth. If one city has a shortage of the basic needs, then another city would share their abundance of necessities with the suffering city. You have to remember that the monetary system CREATES SCARCITY. For example companies don't want an abundance of bananas, if the demand is lower then the supply. The companies would lose money, so next year the company limits the amount produced to match the demand which equals more money!
Malcolm Macarthur wait.... is scarcity a good thing?
Good videos !!!!
I think I would be the happiest if the future looked exactly as it does today. And I'm only 14
Noa can definitely be more exhausting at times then these 2!!! Especially when she doesn't nap!!
My favorite topic you cover was the hack your body to have superpowers episode
Wheres Morgan
subscribed 1000th liker
lol i'm the 1100th :P
And if profit still is what runs it ,it wont be any good
What happens when people hacks ur cars and your house and all the things in the world. So when the car can see you if your crossing the street their must be a chip or something on that person! But if a someone hacks the Internet of everything they will be able to know where everything is and even you! I am all for the no traffic thing but chips on people is just too far!
And my favorite episode is the claytronics video.
Cars today can already be massively hacked. All it takes is less than 100 bucks of equipment and a little bit of knowledge
People dont need a chip on them. Maybe their phones, but really the cross roads will have sensors like the kinet that will be able to see a person crossing the road
Err, well the car wouldn't technically need to be in a wireless network aside from GPS to drive itself, the sensor arrays around current self-driving cars is such that it can see obstacles- Yes even people - and quickly predict how to avoid them to the best degree. In fact, in most cases they're significantly more safe than a human driver, with faster reaction speeds and better precision control. As for knowing where you are? Do you currently own a cell phone of any description registered in any way under a name that could be linked to your real identity? Congratulations! Anyone who really wanted to know where you are, already does.
how about when your Apple watch is connected to the internet? don't you think it already has location identification tech?This would just be making the location tracking accurate enough so that a car can tell where in the road you are
I can see that^
also all humans will be under control by the servers of the security agencies
Looks really fascinating... As was the case in past, every new innovation /invention brings not just good but some bad as well... some of good you already talked abt.. The bad what i can think of could be making mankind slaves of machines and getting further away from human touch...
Talk about if a from the 1985 came to 2015 in a timemachine and what he thinks of todays technologi
What about the resources on the earth we don't have. We r basically digging our selfs in a hole. how r we supposed to get all of this if we run out
What I'm goin to suggest may sound a bit "out there" but hey... what's new? MANY new ideas sound weird. And if I could afford to do this I certainly would but I can't. Bottom line is: there are many, (maybe millions of), people that not just "don't like" but HATE the direction we're going, (collectively), in society... all this new fangled technology etc. They wish and LONG for the good ol days... say the late 40's, 50's and 60's etc. I believe... if someone created a community or an entire TOWN or city where literally EVERYTHING was back like it was in those days. Houses, clothes, B&W TV, radio shows etc. All the TV shows would all be The Andy Griffith show, Rawhide, Gunsmoke etc., etc. The cars would only be from that era. There'd be no computers or microwaves allowed, no cell phones (only the rotary dial land line). Patsy Cline, Big band etc would be the music. I think people would SWARM to it. There'd be a waiting list. Again... if I had the money I'd do it in a heart beat. I am SURE it would go over BIG TIME. Many people are sick of, (even scared of), the way things are going. I'd be the first to buy in. Okay... that's it. I'm just day dreamin'.
+Nummer1Ahteest It's called being Amish dude.
HAAAA!! :-D Errr ya go Prtntious .Twt..... that's ALMOST it. Except the last I checked, the Amish don't believe in TV, (not even black & white), they don't believe in radios, cars, cameras etc., etc., etc. Your point is well taken though. :-)
what about the future of animatronic pizzerias? (don't forget to mention freddy's even though it's a FICTIONAL pizzeria....at this date)
do you mean skynet?
Can you talk about IoE?
In fact, you won't be driving to work anymore. You (or we humans) will be the weak link. Well, you could choose to drive yourself, but your insurance will be extremely expensive. In 2030, society will view self-drivers as irresponsible, and a menace to society, just like smokers are viewed today in some countries. So, is the future looking all that rosy?
Super scary.. artificial intelligence will be a disaster for human beings not a utopia
awesome
oversold it a bit, nice concepts but I'd say a little to much "optimism"
Yes! Doesn't that sound nice? Don't you want to listen to the man who looks like Kane from Command&Conquer? Just trust the Internet of things, peace through power!
Internet of things......... killer robots are things. Well this should be interesting.
Unfortunately you have 106 episodes but happy 100 anyway
This is episode 106
Internet of vulnerability welcome to my bonnet (future topic: space station of future)
its the 93rd episode
Hi
If currency didn't exist, we might have these already
help me more with your ideas and give me ideas and projects to make. I am a freshman
This entire video is flawed. We use cars to commute to places because we need to be somewhere at some point in time. If the internet of things were to exist in the manner that he describes it, there would be no need to use a vehicle. If everything is roboticized and linked by an highly advanced internet-like system many of our need wills be abolished. There would be no traffic, even for the delivery of goods. The things you need would have been calculated and anticipated upon and therefore automatically produced and delivered and maybe even administered to you before or exactly at the moment at which you would need it. The vehicle used for delivery could not be in traffic because every vehicle would be linked too all the others. Like clockwork. the operations of an entire planet would operate seamlessly. I could extrapolate further but I think that most people would be able to see how the linking of every object would at the very least negate the need for a person to operate a motor vehicle.

No privacy tho
you talk like saul goodman....
but still thing about human technologies... i mean human (brain) powers... like how to make a human peak perform... not using sports drugs... but human destiny technologies... I see "the internet of things making us weak" yes weak... and THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.... if you forget something. It is a lesson to use your memory in a better way.... "yes technology is making us weak and strong in several ways....

Remember when rock n roll came from the devil ?
Then some asshole hacked the system and the 50 billion "Things" and everything interconnected falls like domino and turned every effort and technology we built into ashes, sounds like a self destructing wish, but the potential is limitless if governed by a perfect system more likely a super AI, but is humanity ready for this kind of technology?
