Microsoft's 2015 predictions: IoT, the Cloud and Big Data to work in tandem

This is especially crucial given how we go about our days when there are so many different components of our lives competing for our time and attention – whether it’s work, family, or loved ones. And I know all about that, juggling between being a full time mom and being on top of things at work. But the key in managing all that lies in being productive – using our time wisely to make most of the moments that matter. We’re talking about any moment – be it at home, at work, or in between.

We live in a world where everyday objects can now be seamlessly connected through the cloud, in which large amounts of data can be sent, received and analysed efficiently and effectively.
