In brief, before Internet of Things became all the rage and the term coined, I&#8217;ve always thought that near limitless bandwidth was an inevitability and that we would be limited merely by imagination constraining our abilities to exploit such medium. I foresee the network behaving like a global nervous system. There are widespread sensors acting like inputs that span across cities while the output mechanisms improve our effectiveness as a community, from optimizing traffic lights in real-time to rapidly monitoring the spread of diseases. We will also benefit from more vivid long distance communication possibly harnessing physical media to establish a greater sense of connection. The world can be viewed as it happens, in real-time, in extreme detail.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ianhung.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Statement-of-Intent-for-Ian-Hung-Submitted-2009-12-13.pdf\"rel=\"\" class=\"more-link\">Application<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Prior to applying to business school, I took a stab at the prestigious MIT Media Labs.
