Why do I need the 'Cloud' to handle my data? IoT should come with local network apps that keep my data on my network so I can access it. I contact my network through the apps, check/adjust the appliances, then I am done. No One else need be involved.
Colleges are not workforce training grounds. They are for higher education. College should prepare you for workforce training. They should not be training students in the latest language fad but giving students the ability to learn the skills needed to pick up the current fad, the next fad, and so on. Training for today's workforce will not be adequate for tomorrow's workforce. Corporations are attempting to push their responsibility of training their workforce back to colleges. A new computer science college graduate should not be expected to be a C++, Java, Design, Testing, project management, etc expert.There are too many skills that corporations need and that change too often for a colleges to produce such. Go to college for higher education, go to trade schools for workforce training.
We are currently having problems preserving species with populations of only a few hundred members, (Ridley sea turtles, Right Whales, etc). What will happen when we develop a species with only 1 or 2 members? Will these deextincted species have priority over the existing near extinct species? It appears that the goal is to create more 'almost extinct' species.
I use one of mine in my Linux class to show another flavor of Linux and to demonstrate networking. I have used the other one, with a webcam and speakers, to facilitate a scary halloween display.

What if you are not connected to the internet constantly? does this make your device worthless? How does one work 'offline'?
