  1. Why your GrubHub order doesn’t arrive without IoT

    I have to admit; I was not one of the early adopters when it came to using food apps. Perhaps it is my age, maybe it is my level of pickiness when eating, or perhaps it is that I am a decent cook. Whatever the reason, I never saw what all of the fuss was [...]
  2. Kids may not go back to school in September… IoT is here to help either way

    For the past two months, my wife (along with millions of other parents) is doing her new day job: a 3rd and 9th-grade teacher. The kids are still doing a fair amount of work online through various platforms and seem to be maintaining some schedule. Like most parents, though, we are wondering how long this [...]
  3. COVID is making it tougher for retailers to use IoT to fight off Amazon

    I have written before about how much I am not a big fan of malls (or any in-store shopping for that matter). I usually know what I want, and, if available online, I will typically buy it. Based on trends over the past decade, I may be somewhat alone on this, as the percentage of [...]
  4. Securing 5G: How do we secure a “dirty network?”

    5G is everywhere. It is not the actual network itself, as it is only available sparingly in some areas but instead, let's talk about how our lives are going to change.

Here is a brief article about 5G, what it is, and when it's set to thrive in Canada.   What is 5G? 5G stands [...]
  6. Why companies who “automated” have fared the best in 2020

    As an avid follower of the stock market, I am always on the lookout for an early sign of a trend to make money. There have been some great long-term trends over the past few years, ranging from the move for people to eat healthier, the “greening” of the energy market and, of course, the [...]
  7. How IoT optimizes the Construction and Infrastructure Industry  

    When one thinks of construction, a lot of things may come to mind: cool pieces of large machinery, very tall cranes and of course, very hard-working men and women. One thing that you might not think of is technology, and that belief is well-founded. The construction and infrastructure industry has been routinely ranked very low [...]
  8. Automation: COVID-19 is removing opposition like never before

    One of the most heated topics in the world of retail used to be, “should you use the automated checkout line?” Many people were adamantly against the use of them as they felt they were putting cashiers out of work. However, I am not sure that this is as much the case anymore. On my [...]
