The 3 coolest things we saw at the SmartAmerica Expo
June 12, 2014
The Internet of Things is so much more than a Google-backed thermostat or a refrigerator that connects to Facebook.
The expansive possibilities of IoT were on display Wednesday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, as the first-ever SmartAmerica Expo showcased 24 projects from more than 100 different public agencies, private companies and academic institutions. The expo was part of the SmartAmerica Challenge, which launched in December as a call to action to show how the Internet of Things, or cyber-physical systems, can have serious socio-economic benefits for the country.
