“The Internet of Things market continues to gain traction as many consumers are embracing the convenience and benefits of connected devices,” said Chris Babel, CEO, TRUSTe. “However, privacy questions over the personal data being collected, including who has access and ownership of this data is still a major concern for consumers and a big question that the industry must address moving forward.”

Bus shelters the future for digital advertising, says Clear Channel boss – Telegraph

Digital and interactive advertising at bus stops and other busy locations will emerge as a much greater alternative to traditional billboards over the next five years, according to the British boss of outdoor advertising group Clear Channel.

Andrew Morley, chief executive of Clear Channel UK, said: “Outdoor advertising is becoming interactive, linked to mobile phones and delivered by digital technology. That’s where the industry is moving.

“We have the largest and most advanced digital network. This year, we have installed London Wrap, a network of 40 state-of-the-art digital screens around London, doubled the number of London sites of our sister brand Storm to 20 and rebranded our network of 100 central London small format digital screens on bus shelters as Adshel Live.

“That already makes London one of the most advanced outdoor digital advertising environments in the world and over the next year, we will be rolling out the Adshel Live digital programme to hundreds of locations

Michio Kaku Talks About Coming Breakthroughs

You know you are a nerd when you read the interview twice….in a row.

“I think, in the coming years, we will have a brain pacemaker that can stimulate the memory of people with Alzheimer’s disease. They will be able to upload simple memories of who they are and where they live. Beyond that, we will be able to use electronics to upload vacations we never had, perhaps. And the internet itself will be a brain-net of emotions and memories.

“The 20 century was the century of physics, with computers, lasers, TV, radio, GPS, the internet, etc. Physics, in turn, has made possible that can probe biology. So I think the 21st century will be the century of physics and biology, esp. biology that can be explored via physics. So the future belongs to nanotech, biotech, AI, and quantum physics.”
