Today, it's remote devices in the home that you can access with mobile devices. Connected vehicle technology is next. (Mark)

Connected car is the early leader-for safety and convenience; home automation for the geek factor. Next is integrated supply chain/manufacturing, that's where the big $ is

The most exciting part of #IoT today? The potential opportunities are boundless.

The most exciting application for the future of IOT is connecting several industries together through the shared data to benefit individuals

I'm so excited to see smart cars becoming a reality!

in the future I'm really looking forward to the realization of everything we imagine with connected vehicles and transportation

There is a great benefit to the end user to monitor their own world. (James) Look at how the Apple Watch and got people genuinely excited about standing up and walking around.

The "real" skynet with automated decisioning to serve enterprise needs.

Home automation has poor value for average consumers, fragmented ecosystem, and will suffer from API/ Firmware incompatibilities for years

@ITredux yes, #IoT goes beyond changing how business operates, to changing how we live our lives

I just saw that a package I was expecting tomorrow will be delivered today. That visibility is still exciting! @IBMIoT

Future - I'm looking forward to on-demand delivery of fresh, locally grown produce via drone.

Looking forward to #Smartcity #interactions ! It will be mostly around the real human value: #UX

i'm very excited to see how my new Apple TV (with apps and TvOS) and Apple Watch (all IBMers to manage their health in 2016) will affect my future. i'm optimistic at least.

One I just tried was unlocking my hotel room this week via an app...cool but scary!

The ability to install sensors on almost anything, turning it into an #IoT device that streams data.

the coolest #IoT innovation i saw this year was the @localmotors 3D printed cars. maybe it was seeing it in person but IoT got real - really fast - for me in 2015.

@gregorygorman I love having my boarding pass on my phone :)

on a side note, i want to 3D print a Batmobile. @localmotors can we talk?

to know if my favorite place at the corner in my favorite restaurant is occupied or not !

clearly operational optimization of maintenance, production and supply chain... its the easiest place to make transformation

Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Health care

Note: There is a big difference between who "will" benefit most from cognitive #IoT and who "could".

Supply chain. Using customer buying trends to have the right product at the right place. (e.g., Amazon) It could also help grocers and their suppliers assure perishable food freshness and reduce waste. (Mark)

HEALTH. Our bodies have all the data, Cognitive and IoT can turn that into useful info.

Germany leading the way in industry 4.0 seems to indicate a huge opportunity in smarter manufacturing

The automotive and healthcare industries are ripe for the picking

Any mechanical device that decays over time, or needs maintenance. (James)

Any and all regulated industries. Not transparent, heavily regulated, no insights, highly governed...drives everyone nuts!

once you move to business transformation with a new customer base that becomes a lot harder for the majority of companies

monitoring a fleet of engines for impending failure; correlating weather and geospatial data with device performance; help engineers write better requirements!

what about telco? @IBMIoT

could vs should vs would

If Telco has to think about IoT they're doing it wrong...

i hope for healthcare, health IT, wellness, education to benefit from Cognitive #IoT (#WatsonIoT are you listening?)

I'm waiting to see what can be done in #banking and #wealth industries! #IOT

@theRab Now you're hitting squarely in the "could" vs. will camps.

@uwekrieger Telco is a huge industry that's often overlooked, but it's allowing us to have this conversation right now, great point Uwe!

There is a different between leveraging #IoT for data integration and connecting it w/ #CX.

could cognitive computing fix/repair politics? #butidigress

the simplest use cases will take advantage of tech already deployed-like smart phones-to find quick revenue and competitive advantage.

With Bob Dillon + Watson's help, the music industry? :)

@tcrawford a boy can dream

Banking/ FS will use Cognitive Computing but not IoT other than for operational efficiencies in the short-med term

@theRab Keep dreaming! We need more of that. Especially WRT #IoT and data.

from #factories , from operations to equipment optimization to #retail , as for automated checkout

@AndyThurai Make that Bob Dylan*

@theRab Hah! Maybe integrated lie or intent detectors in each prez candidate?

so follow-up question Q8b: who can and will influence the successful use cases? i mean who are the influencers in terms of roles and literally, who exactly is going to make a difference doing this in the near term?

@theRab How about who they are not? They are not the ones that are restricted in their views and potential.

Airlines. So much of their internal processes are archaic, and the travel experience has been the victim of that. I know the folks at @UniversalMind have been looking into this as well.
