IoT technologies will disrupt most major industries. It's like 1995 right now for IoT and businesses are wondering if they ought to have a website.

As more operations and products come online, data platforms will become standardized. The skills gap will be bridged, through AI / Machine Learning and more data-literacy educational training.

I actually expect mobile device sales to slow down as the number of connected devices per person grows. We won't need to always carry fragile expensive lil' phones anymore -- we will be able to communicate, connect, work with information, and engage with applications in new unexpected ways.

"Experience Design" and "Data Management" training will be necessary...

Who will standardize it?

Nobody seems to have a clue how to standardize.

Alphabet/Google is making an attempt with Nest. There is an entire "Nest works with" page that shows a variety of different IoT devices that use Nest as sort of a base station I believe. I would link the page but I'm on mobile. Not saying this will be the standard, but it seems like Nest is taking a shot at it.
