Industrial Engineering English Club - Universidad del Valle

Special Guest Session - The Internet of Things - March 27th, 2017.

We will meet on Monday, March 27th, at 5:30 p.m., Salón Valle del Cauca. The subject of the talk that our guest speaker will present is The Internet of Things.

We will also have our customary sessions related to English language quirks and special issues, and also a fun activity towards the end of the meeting.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing our lives, by connecting everyday objects to the Internet. Those smart objects are able to receive, process and send information. They have applications in environmental monitoring, infrastructure, industry, energy, medicine, transportation, and at home, among many other fields.

In the presentation, we will study the history, applications, trends, features and controversial issues of IoT.
