Towards a Cognitive Internet of Things
The article explores the future of the Internet of Things (IoT) where devices will be able to analyze data and act on it, without needing human intervention. This "cognitive IoT" is likened to a brain, receiving data from sensors (nervous system) and using it to take actions. Experts believe cognitive IoT will revolutionize various industries and is the next step after the current, data-collecting IoT.

Silos belong on the Farm not in Smart Cities
The article discusses the difference between connected and smart cities. True smart cities integrate data from various sources (traffic, utilities, etc.) to optimize services and resources. Data silos, where information is kept separate, prevent this integration and hinder the development of smart cities.
