Friends in High Places

Please, folks, let's get over those "Old Time Religions" with Prophets from The Middle East that have divided people and the world we all live in - there's A Brave New World Right Here & Now with other profits and capital investment.
The Internet of Things (IoT, sometimes Internet of Everything) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices based on the infrastructure of International Telecommunication Union's Global Standards Initiative. 

Internet of Things connect physically and remotely by individuals, for both public sector and private sector, in the sense of a computer network grid, of a created electrical device that is in place, with economic benefit and potential usefulness. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure.

Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020.

While Mayor John Giles says in the YouTube video from a earlier post that "The Salvation of downtown Mesa is riding on this train" [referring to the Valley Metro CME Light Rail arriving] there's a higher power in The Cloud.
Your MesaZona blogger won't use a religion-based term like "salvation"  from doing things wrong or not doing enough to redevelop downtown, but when a lot of people GET IT RIGHT creating The Cloud & IoT with pervasive integration all over the world That's A Good Thing that "Old-Time Religions" don't do.
