'Internet of things – 50bn connected devices. Back in 2011 Cisco predicted that there would be 50bn connected devices by the end of this decade. That’s just 2.7% of the 1.8 devices that they estimate exist on the planet today. They arrived at the 50bn by assuming a 25% growth rate per year. The interesting question for me is what these new connected devices are going to be, because there will be a lot of them (40 billion).

'Small businesses rise or fall on the basis of their online reputation, which is largely the result of the ways in which today’s consumers do their product research. Before spending money on anything, a consumer is likely to use online search engines or review sites to do their due diligence; in fact, studies have shown that consumers trust online reviews more than they trust personal recommendations from friends and co-workers!
