The talk, which took place at the Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute (GTMI), focused on the Internet of Things (IoT), the outlook for IoT, and some of the challenges AT\u0026amp;T and others see are coming in the future of IoT.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAccording to Coursey, in 2016, 80 \u0027things\u0027 are connected per second in the IoT sphere. However, in 2020, he expects the number of \u0027things\u0027 connected per second to jump to 250. He asked the 36 attendees of his presentation to consider the bandwidth needed for this.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EHe believes that one area that is expected to create a huge demand for IoT related innovation will be smart cities where IoT will be implemented to create more efficient traffic patterns, energy use and even water flow, as examples.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECousey also described what he sees as challenges that need to be addressed in order to continue successfully integrating IoT into our everyday world at larger scales.
