How does mining data from an earthquake make us human seismographs? How does cars use Terbine technology to generate micro weather maps all over the city at a granular level? David explains how to take and use data from everyday objects to make sense of the world in a way that has nothing to do with the original purpose of the object.

Is distributing data just the same as distributing a book in an Amazon warehouse? Is blockchain just a buzzword or is it the solution to accelerate the adoption of IoT via data? Is simultaneity really the most useful way to use data?

David challenges some intuitive assumptions we have around IoT and data, and explains how Terbine deals with these issues to record, store, and price data. 

Is building a data marketplace same as building a plane or inventing the telephone?

David Knight describes the big void above the IoT stack and what he envisions as a big exchange in the sky that would interconnect all the sensors and facilitate transfer of data in a curated way. 

Smart cities: How do cybersecurity loopholes and data marketplaces exist in harmony to create value for both the public and private sectors? Even as IoT matures and develops, is its full potential still dependent on something as basic as human trust? Regulations and standards: Are they necessarily a good thing for IoT adoption?
