Amazon as Internet of Things Superpower

In the Motley  Fool:  Very good piece on a number of Amazon IOT dimensions I am currently following.   In particular I am looking forward to trying the Amazon Dash Button idea, which essentially attaches a buy button to the 'things' in the IOT.  I can imagine a number of other connected ideas that will expand how we 'ping' many kinds of attached things,   I am looking forward to other extensions.  

Meanwhile the Amazon Echo automates hands-free aspects of the smart home. I have had one in place for some time.  The system combines attentive voice activation with advisory systems, starting with environments like music, lights and shopping lists.   Also Amazon is tailoring systems that will automate data analysis using the data generated by all these systems.

Watch them as a central point for many kinds of purchase driven systems.  Each of these early experiments has direct sales and revenue influence from the very beginning.    Infrastructure mapping with goals.  Clever direction.
