It\u2019s all about being able to form new ideas with others, so it\u2019s important that you\u2019re a team player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>littleBits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Hermans, the accessible nature of the Hackathon is a result of using <a href=\"http:\/\/littlebits.cc\/\">littleBits<\/a>, magnetic do-it-yourself sets that can be easily joined together. \u201cThere are endless possibilities with these, although you\u2019re not required to use them. If participants prefer to make their own tools, that\u2019s fine too. The aim is to develop a connected device or service that can improve daily life. What sort of things can they be? Take, for example, a washing machine that\u2019s connected to the Internet and sends you a message to your phone when the washing\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Internet of Things event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Hackathon, which will take place on 2 June, is part of the fourth<a href=\"http:\/\/iotevent.eu\/\">\u00a0Internet of Things event<\/a> on the High Tech Campus. Several speakers will then go into greater depth about the future and the possibilities of Internet of Things. Hermans assures that it will develop quickly: \u201cWe still haven\u2019t achieved all that\u2019s possible. At the moment it\u2019s all happening gradually. For instance, you can buy motion sensors and connect them with an app to protect your home. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s suddenly out there, like with the arrival of the iPhone. Suddenly everyone wanted an iPhone. But once everyone knows the possibilities of Internet of Things, it will develop faster than the telecommunications industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Internet of Things is\u00a0a booming business;\u00a0portable technology,\u00a0big data\u00a0and smart devices that are all connected to one another via the cloud.
