What is the Internet of Things and what does it mean for government?

There is a growing discussion about the Internet of Things, but what is it anway, and what does it mean to government? Imagine a world where roads let you know if there are potholes or if the cost of parking could adjust depending on demand.

The Internet of Things could also impact how the government carries out its mission. Brett Goldstein, who was the chief data and information officer for the city of Chicago and now is a senior fellow in urban science at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, said, "The idea is that using real-time data, regulation can change dynamically based on varying conditions in order to better achieve the desired outcomes."

In a recent training, Christopher Dorobek, host of the DorobekINISIDER Live, and a panel of experts discussed the Internet of Things-  what it is and why it matters.

Specifically, they shared:

• The definition of the Internet of Things

• Why these innovative technologies matter in today's government

• How the Internet of Things could change how government carries out its mission

• Tips and tricks to help government prepare for the Internet of Things
