    What will you take away?

    As an entrepreneur you should step out of your comfort zone.
    You have to try new things, see things in a new way or put pieces together in a new manner so you will have ideas.
    Also entrepreneurs may have trouble achieving work-life balance.
    They are working far more than average and often they should work on their days off so you should bear that in mind.

    Your own entrepreneurial experience

    I'm thinking about becoming a consultant for iOT security.
    I think we are only at the beginning but this topic will play an important role.

    User interface challenges

    Of course user interface is essential and you need to make it as user friendly as possible so every person without any previous knowledge, will know how to operate it.

    What is the weakest link in IoT security?

    I think that IoT hardware is the weakest link and this is because unlike computers these devices don' t have enough memory to install anti-virus, firewall or other updates and also as far as i know , many IoT hardware use hard coded password which is normally admin or root

    Making consumers aware of privacy implications

    Who can guarantee that there will be no data breach or data leaks?

    What about a privacy logo?

    I agree with Ebrahim that "we need to have a universal definition of privacy and privacy rights" but privacy logo is not feasible and actually will prevent users from using IoT products.

    End of Week 2

    I want to recommend this link from the extra resources
    http://www.libelium.com/products/waspmote/sensors/ (appears as WEBPAGE:SENSORS in the list).The page gives you a good technical overview of all available sensors.
    Each specification is accompanied with a small picture of the sensor.

    Disadvantages of low power wide area (LPWA) networks

    I didn't find something related to the security of LPWA , i'm sure that also here things need to be improved and 3GPP M2M or other can provide better security.

    What is the most important lesson learned from Zigbee?

    I heard that Zigbee is not secure like wifi based security system.
    This is a big disadvantage.

    What sensors are necessary in IoT products?

    I'm planning to build Home Security systems so i will need motion sensors to detect an intruder and send an alert.

    Start sketching out your own IoT product or service idea

    A smart shirt with sensors that will alert if someone comes too close to you from behind.
    This will help to eliminate violence.

    Dealing with challenges

    For me the most important thing is 'Adopt it overnight' - it means that the specific iOT product is easy to use , the design is attractive and user friendly etc...

    The opportunities of multiple IoT applications working together

    1. I think that Daniel Burrus suggested that we should not limit our thoughts to a specific industry or domain when thinking on iOT.
    iOT products may be applied for new industries which still not exist.
    2. I'm not sure but i think that in industry like agriculture you use many kind of sensors : humidity, temperature ,quality of soil, water usage, etc...
    If...

    What is it that makes a product effective?

    The deterioration of the environment and the global warming are big problems.
    If we have the right tools for energy management and conservation using IoT products then this may contribute to save our planet.

    Is a smart phone an Internet of Things device?

    Not exactly ... iOT device collects data and transmits to other device , to the cloud , to the database etc ... , the smart phone is a tool that helps us to extract that data using an app.

    What is it that makes something 'Internet of Things'?

    Any product or device which has sensor and can transmit data to a cloud via network protocol.
    The data contain useful information which can be retrieved and can be helpful in many domains.
