The Internet-of-Things (IoT), the concept of connecting physical objects to each other and to the internet through sensors within or attached to the objects, is a key market inflection that is opening up new opportunities and ways of obtaining information. Cisco Systems estimates there will be 50 billion connected devices by 2020creating a tidal wave of data! Wearable Computing or wearables is a small but rapidly growing segment within the IoT space and is one of the potential killer applications that could fuel IoT.

Name this guy

When I rst entered graduate school, before transferring to Columbia, I was eager to pursue my dreams of research astrophysics. But the rst comment directed to me in the rst minute of the rst day, by a faculty member whom I had just met was, You must join our department basketball team. As the months and years passed, faculty and fellow students, thinking that they were doing me a favor, would suggest alternative careers for me.
Why dont you become a computer salesman? Why dont you teach at a community college? Why dont you leave astrophysics and academia? You can make much money in industry. At no time was I perceived as a future colleague, although this privilege was enjoyed by others in graduate school.
