1. What to expect from IoE
"The technology is going to continue to accelerate and I can’t predict the technology, but by 2025 there will be more industries that clearly understand the use-cases."
2. What can we expect from a combination of connections?
"What’s interesting is for Cisco, just like we connect all the phones and IP, and we connected the internet and IP, and now we’re connecting the InterCloud, it’s going to be the same thing with the IoE; it’s the sum of the connections that will increase the power."
3. Will we get better products?
If I drive up in a minivan on a weekend with my kids to McDonalds, the signboard will change to show family happy meals and the big order I get at the bottom.
4. Effecting company processes
"If you implement SAP and then you want to change it, well good luck. You’re going to have to get another million dollars out and six more months."
5. Will you even need a bank branch?
"You’re not going to have to go into the bank any more, you can do it over Skype video. You can send in pictures of documents using your phone. By digitising the whole thing down to about seven steps, not only can we simplify the time and the steps but their satisfaction has gone up and their yield has gone up."
