[Podcast] Internet of Things - IoT
Updated: Aug 5, 2021
Season 1, Episode 4: Two Guys, Coffee & Business
On this podcast we are going to be discussing the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is basically the connection between devices through the internet. For instance, your phone controlling your homes thermostat. This seems like it would definitely be a positive for most people but what happens when you infuse Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the equation? What happens to the workforce when machines are able realize their mistake and correct it? And why does it have to be only machines? Think about the endless possibilities an enterprise resource planning system (ERP) could have if it could learn and then learn from its mistakes!

this episode of two guys coffee and
00:02
business we're talking Internet of
00:05
Things two guys coffee and business
00:17

00:20
this is episode 4 I believe right now
00:23
that's right I'm so for two guys coffee
00:26
and business podcast my name is Michael
00:29
Trevor toll I'm here with the Tom
00:31
Norrish the illustrious family doors so
00:35
what are you drinking today Michael
00:36
today is it's very special to me I got
00:39
this coffee you can read my comic opera
00:42
now it's from this place called Wally's
00:45
in genre yeah I checked it out for the
00:47
first time over the weekend it's decided
00:49
to stop in weigh in today for the
00:51
podcast they make a great polka oh yeah
00:54
great hold on so I'm drinking welcome we
00:57
did the Chris Kettler market wasn't
01:00
risky no more yeah I mean good
01:01
coffee there I did not get coffee that I
01:03
got a hot cider hot chocolate that's
01:05
what I always go for as well hot hot
01:08
cider really yeah
01:10
it's tough problem is though you know
01:12
it's two dollars for the the smallest
01:15
paper cup of ever seen in my life
01:17
yeah he figured it's like something that
01:20
you seen like watching them I've watched
01:23
so instead we're gonna talk about
01:25
Internet of Things what you think about
01:28
it yeah it's uh it's pretty cool it's
01:31
very related to artificial intelligence
01:33
kind of talk about a couple podcasts ago
01:36
but uh there's obviously a bunch of
01:40
differences the way I like to look at it
01:44
is I kind of feel like some Internet of
01:49
Things is like our bodies and how our
01:51
bodies actually take in like senses from
01:55
the world like touch and it brings in
01:58
data and our brains are like artificial
02:00
intelligence right the brains telling
02:02
what to do and that interesting yeah so
02:10
so basically so I guess perfect in that
02:13
perspective
02:14
electronics it would be we we can
02:19
control the electronic right now saying
02:21
take a picture for us let us know when
02:23
there's no food refrigerator well when
02:25
you infuse artificial intelligence we
02:28
don't have to
02:30
take the picture to see the food the
02:32
refrigerator will automatically know
02:33
when the food is out or so have they
02:36
tell us it's basically right money crazy
02:38
so what's your favorite uh internet of
02:40
things you like or anything it's pretty
02:48
cool that's uh kind of where I see it
02:52
going is is I really feel like a
02:56
different manufacturer they'll be able
03:00
to get notifications whenever their
03:04
product needs repairs even simple
03:08
ordering you know can be done just
03:10
automatically whenever they're low you
03:12
can communicate with that's amazing so
03:16
do you think in the future businesses
03:18
manufacturing companies whatever are
03:19
gonna be completely infused with the
03:22
Internet of Things to where somebody
03:24
walks in the building in the morning and
03:26
everything just turns on machines you're
03:29
going and people yeah I mean so I do
03:33
think you will need people cuz you still
03:35
need to monitor it make sure that it's
03:38
not messing up because don't get right
03:41
you never know again but uh yeah I do
03:44
think that uh everything's gonna be a
03:46
lot more automated yeah well don't
03:48
pretty much just be the people of
03:50
monitoring the automation pretty cool
03:54
so the coolest thing that I've seen for
03:57
the Internet of Things is on our
03:59
computers printer is it's called a
04:01
bellow it looks like a big blast tub
04:05
with a white base you put your food into
04:08
it
04:08
this looks like you take a meat put it
04:11
in there wrapping put it in the water in
04:14
the machine and then put eggs or
04:16
whatever you want in the machine with it
04:17
as well and you can control from your
04:19
phone saying I'll be home at six o'clock
04:22
have this cooked well done from your
04:24
robot it's almost like a personal chef
04:27
it's amazing it's only four dollars I
04:31
can't believe it yeah that makes you
04:33
think about money interesting that's a
04:37
limited time offer versus 300 hours if
04:39
you order before December 16 for the
04:41
holidays I'm sure it does I mean the way
04:51
that all the advancements everything
04:54
recently the Internet of Things I think
04:57
is really helping out making everything
05:00
work correctly without a doubt it does
05:05
worry me though because once you infuse
05:07
artificial intelligence with your
05:10
and I think jobs are gonna be able I
05:13
really do you know you can on the other
05:16
end a little bit
05:17
I think it'll change yeah but I don't
05:22
think everything's gonna disappear I
05:24
just think it'll be different it's
05:27
different always good I mean it's not
05:30
always good no but uh I mean the bowls
05:33
were different when you Jordan that's a
05:37
whole nother topic I really do think
05:45
that a job will still be around it's
05:48
just a matter of what they'll be doing
05:50
yeah so if the local visits wanted to
05:57
start with an Internet of Things device
06:00
what would you suggest a simple light
06:04
and what's a good way for somebody to
06:06
just get involved
06:09
that's a good question I I think it
06:11
probably depends on or your diffic what
06:13
you're doing I could say the way I
06:16
started was and purchased Google and I
06:19
got Google home and I'm either you can
06:21
talk to it and do whatever you already
06:23
go from there right so what I did is
06:25
that body first I bought one Wi-Fi blog
06:29
just to check it out it's a clockwise
06:31
when I plug in and plug the lamp if you
06:33
would set it to a timer and connected
06:36
everything and pretty good it actually
06:38
got me addicted and then I started
06:40
wiring my under-cabinet lights to a kid
06:43
and I'll interview normally everything
06:45
was working great too because office can
06:46
I turn on or you can set it to run
06:48
automatically whatever you want it was
06:49
easy was it easy to connect it it is
06:52
it's difficult because when you connect
06:54
it you have to connect it through the
06:55
Wi-Fi and usually I would ever think the
06:57
connected through bluetooth it's machine
07:03
I guess you don't mean right you just
07:05
connect it through Wi-Fi and then was
07:08
that I meant it has to work with your
07:10
program if this then yeah yeah right so
07:13
you know what you say if if you say this
07:16
then it does that right you know couple
07:19
minutes to serve each device
07:21
or great and has it been helping you out
07:24
uh yeah we're instance right now my
07:27
Christmas lights are set to go on at
07:29
4:30 and everyday from 4:30 to midnight
07:32
and then from 6:00 a.m. and 7:30 and
07:36
start going off right at me you know
07:38
exactly yeah where's the shining star
07:43
when I need it so it works great not to
07:47
change topics but Laura might change
07:49
something jumps ship here
07:53
this thing will cook poach eggs perfect
07:55
steak delicate lobster apple pie filling
07:59
so is it only preset recipes that it can
08:03
come or gonna cook anything
08:05
oh that's pretty
08:12
do you get a paleo food says make cheese
08:17
and yogurt
08:19
ha
08:21
another things yeah oh yeah I mean kind
08:27
of something I noticed just now what
08:28
we're using is a chromecast I think to
08:33
Ferrara
08:34
that's the animated TV now for you to
08:37
say a little bit artificial intelligence
08:39
to it those that every Wednesday would
08:41
use a podcast it just pops up for us
08:43
wouldn't have to do it'd be great
08:45
bend down you're gonna see it so I feel
08:48
like do you think that Internet of
08:51
Things and our official intelligence
08:55
kinda think of how to work this maybe
08:57
yeah lines need to work together to make
09:01
so you can't have one without the other
09:03
well you can you know for it's like when
09:11
I press the button on my on my phone or
09:12
whatever it's around like my house I
09:14
mean Isis internet things that are
09:15
professional intelligence right every in
09:19
knowing exactly when I come home every
09:21
day and learning my patterns and turning
09:24
the lights on by itself would be more
09:26
artificial intelligence to me
09:28
right kind of like a Cortana learning
09:32
your patterns and dynamics and have and
09:34
it's able to predict able to forecast
09:36
what what I don't you lead and things
09:39
like that seem to me that's all machine
09:43
learning which is kind of separate but
09:46
the same anything they're all different
09:55
I mean how else do you see a lot of
09:59
businesses using them there are other
10:01
things in the future
10:02
ah kind of like that I think eventually
10:07
the days of you know somebody going in
10:10
the warehouse to see what items you have
10:11
in stock are gonna be gone I think with
10:14
drones and technology of movements we're
10:16
gonna fit something on your phone and
10:17
it's just gonna go and look for your
10:19
fire song and you'll be able to see it
10:20
in real time right there right that in
10:22
there you know I mean it sick Amazon's
10:26
using the drones to deliver packages or
10:28
wants to divert clearance it
10:31
but it's so it worries me about jobs now
10:36
yes I could sell anything in the
10:38
warehouse he confessed everything it's
10:45
so let's just say for manufacturing
10:47
saver you're you're making some progress
10:48
that you're making you're making a
10:53
widget and you've got somebody there
10:56
running the machine making sure that
10:57
everything's subtracted and it's lined
10:58
up and it comes out perfect each time
11:00
over time if you infused artificial
11:02
intelligence into the machine machines
11:04
probably be able to know when it's off
11:06
by 1/100 of a danger or whatnot on how
11:09
to adjust it and figure out all right
11:14
and then when until though when you need
11:16
more parts for to make that widget right
11:18
24 hours yeah okay kind of crazy yeah we
11:24
got a fine start looking at off
11:27
alternative industry see what's gonna
11:31
have to create all the way in this
11:32
region for right see like items like I
11:34
said everything's gonna change
11:36
no I don't think that anything's gonna
11:38
disappear right we don't know what that
11:43
different will be no it's like a you
11:46
know the nineties when the internet came
11:47
and everybody said all libraries are
11:50
gonna go away in this mess yeah you got
11:57
all those ebooks yeah publishing
11:59
companies might be struggling a little
12:00
bit with certain things right yeah I
12:03
think today was a good talk to you have
12:05
anything else all right next week we're
12:18
gonna have special guest Tristan Rock
12:20
Hill from Java forts
12:22
come on in and talk to us and everybody
12:25
else about Jai reports gonna give a you
12:29
know basic overview of what it does how
12:33
it works
12:37
well alright everybody this was episode
12:40
for season one keep doing what you're
12:42
doing I'm here with Tom Norwich the
12:44
elusive and my name is Mike MacIvor
12:48
total so we so see you next week thanks
12:51
everybody
