A word from Chuck about IoT

Chuck has been identified as a ‘futurist’ in the past by ISO (the International Standard for Organization). Featured in an ISO article about IoT, Chuck comments “IoT will be a tremendous enabler of better information in both the consumer and business environments. I believe that the impact of IoT will be across the board. All of the systems that we don’t think about in our day-to-day life will be more effective in keeping humans productive, so the impact won’t be in just one area.”

“I can’t thank the nominators and INCITS enough for this honor.”
