2016 saw the introduction and enhancement of machine learning tools from the likes of Google, Microsoft and Amazon, making it easier than ever to create IoT workflows with a machine learning component. What we saw: This prediction definitely hit the mark, although you could argue that this was an easy prediction to make. What we wrote: “The Integration of Everything mentioned above will really help drive an increased number of discussions and projects related to machine learning, distributed computing, and deep learning in 2016.” One piece of evidence I will offer up is to look at the Gartner IT Hype cycle for 2016. On it you will see numerous IoT technologies situated at or near the “peak of inflated expectations” and ready for the “trough of disillusionment,” which speaks to potential rise of IoT Fatigue Machine/Deep Learning Since we are judging ourselves, I’ll go ahead and say we hit the mark here. One reason this is particularly challenging to measure is that IoT, in reality, consists of many different technologies and markets that are at different levels of maturity, and within IoT may be some technologies that are overhyped and some that are underhyped, which is a point we have made before. However, the IoT hype machine was still in overdrive in 2016, and if you do a google search of “IoT Hype”, you get plenty of results. What we saw: This is a hard one to prove or disprove, since it is based more on a feeling. What we wrote: “I believe that in 2016, you will start to see more and more commentary crushing the IoT hype bubble, and perhaps more and more illustrations of IoT products and solutions that don’t have a clearly defined business model.” Something you don’t see very often is a recap of predictions for the previous year were our predictions on the mark or did we have a total swing and a miss? Below, we take a look back at the IoT predictions for 2016 we made and see how prescient we were, or were not. Making predictions for the upcoming year brings out a ton of great ideas as everyone likes to unbox that crystal ball and put on their favorite impression of “Zoltar Speaks” to share their predictions in full. Recently, we (a collective of Citrix Chris-es) posted our Internet of Things (IoT) predictions for 2017.
