The Internet of Things Wearable

When I think of this concept, I would like to imagine using Internet technology to connect the world by creating things that are useful, enjoyable and appealing to a person's life, not just connecting things via objects that are uniquely identifiable in an Internet-like structure, just for the sake of getting them connected, but integrating those things into a logical and useful system that makes life easier and even fun. 

An increasingly hot development in terms of technological trends is wearables, or wearable technology, otherwise known as wearable devices, tech togs or fashion electronics. These are

Facebook going into the Music business

Facebook is said to be teaming up with Spotify, Pandora and others in order to get into the Music industry.

The strategy would be for users to engage into streaming music and sharing it with their friends, as well as finding out what they are listening to, so they can all recommend their musical tastes among themselves. In other words, the same idea as
