Brekkie Meet | IoTechnics: Trends for the Internet Of Things in 2018

In the February edition of our monthly techie brekkies Steve (Cutler) & Andrew (Smith) from IoTechnics will dust off their crystal ball and gaze into the future of the Internet Of Things in 2018 to try to predict the top 5 or 6 changes throughout the year.

Their previous attempts to forecast the future have usually been 50% accurate - so tossing a coin may be just as good. However... the discussion about the merits of future trends and hearing audience opinions is always the best part of a forum like this.
