"My son, listen to your heart. If it is the womanfor life, you'll feel it. Feel the "butterflies" and you'll kown"
My daughter, however, would eventually listen to "Google Now" or "Apple Siri". That'll tell her:
"I know you since your birth. I read all your emails, registered your voice-calls, saw your movies. I even know your DNA and you're complete biometrical history. I register your heartbeat, your blood pressure and sugar level during your dates. I do know as much about Fred, John and Paul. So I say that, with a 87% of probability, that John is the best choice in the long run."
"I know that you secretly won't like that response, preferring Paul, because he's more handsome. But event considering this, studies showed that attractivity makes only for 14% of a stable relation. For a the long term relation, I tell you, take John!"
anticipates what you want to see, eat, buy or know
"Google Glass", is a good example. It's tomorrow's Personal Contextual Assistant, that already today anticipates your choices. Registering the movement of you eyes and analysing what you look at.
Glass will know what you want to see, and will show it, it'l know what you want to eat and will order it. Glass will know what you want to buy, and'll deliver it to your home.
Another example: the mirai botnet, who heard bout that one ?
It's the proof that IoT makes our lives worse and criminal lives easier.
Last year's DDOS against Brian Krebs' website (who knows Brian ?), surpassed everything we saw until then (up to 1Tbps). And this using a botnet of cameras, VCRs and other home-cinemas.
Only in Luxembourg my CIRCL team detected half a million backscatter tentatives per day.
Akamai considered: "This was the biggest attack weâve ever seen", Martin McKeay, the senior security advocate for Akamai.
