Indeed. Some analogies

. Japanese 5th generation project hubris.
. TCP/IP replaced older networks.
. Oracle's magic formula.
. AI's nervous breakdown 80s etc.
. AI has feet of clay.

This time different .. not enough water to cool guzzling data centres.

Anyways, off to the dojo :-)

It's out there but it never had the same marketing hype pull as BigData at the time. Plus real world use cases where hardware sales were involved were a much harder push. Then there was the small matter of no one really giving a sh*t about internet connected fridges.

Maybe they needed bigger "fridges" (data centes)? I suppose predictive maintenance, real-time trained data.
e.g. predicting resource depletion. Of course, not needed if you have money to burn.

Telematics in vehicle insurance is interesting. I've not kept up with IoT in a very long time. I did work on a very large IoT platform back in the day: https://github.com/MastodonC/kixi.hecuba
