The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that some have heard of, and few can pinpoint, but a vast majority of the world still isn’t aware of how this growing industry will soon effect their lives.

Sce Pike, Chief Experience Officer of Citizen, Inc. looks at strategies, objectives, and values to consider in the creation of IoT products and services, to drive the industry towards mass adoption and truly needed problem solving.
