Zusatztext There's an enormous amount of " whats around the corner" of curiously investigative interest. This book begins to raise an intellectual interest that there is an enormous " New World " to be explored. Informationen zum Autor Mickey Slimp's career has married technology and education to create a better world for students. As the founding director of the Virtual College of Texas, an innovative media producer in biotech, a former reporter, and a community college leader, his insight provides new digital markers for the pathways to student learning. After thirty years in various industries and technology-related positions, Roy Bartels retired from Western Texas College as Chief Technology and Information Security Officer. His experience, education, and service on regional, state, and national boards, plus his retirement career in fiction writing, gives him a unique perspective on the Internet of Things Klappentext You have heard about the Internet of Things.

For teens and tweens, the magic world of Harry Potter is all around. With a wave of a hand, they can control lights and surround themselves with music. In minutes, they can make a catalog of devices appear using a 3D printer. And now, they are ready to travel by driverless cars, summoned from a cellphone.
