    The Internet of Things

    The Internet of Things, the term used to describe intelligent objects (FitBit, cars with wireless connection), is the new buzzword in Silicon Valley. From the functionality of a smart house to the potential of creating a connected “smart city,” the possibilities of the IoT is this year’s hot topic at SXSW.

    A look into Google[x]

    We’ve always wondered what exactly goes on behind the closed doors of Google’s secretive innovative facility, Google[x]. Tasked with creating next-generation technology—think driverless cars, hoverboards, teleportation—Google[x] is pretty tight-lipped about its upcoming projects, but we’re hoping to get some insight at this year’s keynote speech by Astro Teller, lead scientist at Google[x] or, as he prefers to be called, “Captain of Moonshots.”
