The IoT might help us save the world, but not if we don't fix it
summary
Claims that IoT can align economic and environmental goals by letting companies produce more from less and that AI will demand more physical‑world data. Names concrete tech: The Things Stack LoRaWAN Network Server, Narrowband LoRaWAN, energy harvesting, space‑based networking with thousands of LEO satellites and sensors reaching geostationary distances. Points out failures: separate industrial‑IoT islands that don’t scale, forecasts of hundreds of billions devices, risks of millions of tons of e‑waste, and the need for updatable, interoperable, circular designs.
