This technology can be applied to a wide range of different product categories, from home appliances to wearables. ![Nest Internet of Things disruptive](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Nest.jpg?width=600&name=Nest.jpg "Nest Internet of Things disruptive") One example of the Internet of Things is [Nest](https://nest.com/blog/) which have recently been acquired by Google. The interesting thing about [Nest](https://nest.com/) is that it's designed like a central intelligence hub for your home. In fact it can learn your schedule, program itself and be controlled from your smartphone which enables you to reduce your energy footprint and lower your heating and cooling bills. Hear about this example and much more in the video above!  #### Click on the image below to follow me on YouTube #### [![Subscribe to my YouTube-channel](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/hs-fs/hub/109349/file-2829780070.png) ](http://cta-service-cms2.hubspot.com/ctas/v2/public/cs/c/?cta_guid=dafbba22-192b-484c-9c86-92b0b0ac8e3c&placement_guid=905b8e7c-ac5a-45b6-8a75-4fc2cd02dc81&portal_id=109349&redirect_url=APefjpFNDS2a4D6UXqaO1pUbFkwkJ2G-nDfJljskHxuSMhxhYKEDqUXIFErB_3NwnK_GAQdd1tGqn5ckjHsmXRYzPMUNfI2ADqSsVUCe-8vqlZO-XZN__j03D4HP_pel7Dwm7wj7aq8vnI4CTVSXtrlqlozx7Sx1DHXv6wfRQgN5KwQl3DZejbBrAERc6GynUK-fbjeY5esscjFZqImUmKO4Mh4bvJo13w5_OJWasSmwqc-OpvvCzg4ygjxltIpYI6sDjUJke7vLrCNg8C5L24WpSyLFnYZ6Xw&hsutk=cbc5a79312d24004cf50e5e7a68dce16&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.thinque.com.au%2Ffuture-trendspots-shanghai-real-estate-disruption-pt2&canon=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.thinque.com.au%2Ffuture-trendspots-shanghai-real-estate-disruption-pt2&__hstc=14646056.cbc5a79312d24004cf50e5e7a68dce16.1429683439433.1432750314120.1432796585853.41&__hssc=14646056.7.1432796585853&__hsfp=1545118448)  #### To book Anders for your next speaking engagement, visit our contact us page or reach us through: - ### **PHONE: **+61 415 18 17 14 - ### **EMAIL: **[info@thinque.com.au](mailto:info@thinque.com.au)   ### Written by [anders@thinque.com.au](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/author/andersthinquecomau) ** ### Sign up for the Decoding Tomorrow newsletter ### CATEGORIES - [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/anders-sorman-nilsson) - [Futurist Speaker Sydney](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/futurist-speaker-sydney) - [Thinque](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/thinque) - [Disruptive Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/disruptive-trends) - [Future Thinking](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-thinking) - [Thought Leaders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/thought-leaders) - [Artificial Intelligence](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/artificial-intelligence) - [Futurist](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/futurist) - [Future Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/future-trends) - [2nd Renaissance](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2nd-renaissance) - [AI](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/ai) - [Sustainability](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/sustainability) - [2020 Vision](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/2020-vision) - [Disruption](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/disruption) - [AI Keynote Speaker](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/topic/ai-keynote-speaker) ### INDUSTRY - [Anders Sorman-Nilsson](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/future-trendspots-the-disruptive-potential-of-internet-of-things#) - [Futurist Speaker Sydney](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/future-trendspots-the-disruptive-potential-of-internet-of-things#) - [Thinque](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/future-trendspots-the-disruptive-potential-of-internet-of-things#) - [Disruptive Trends](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/future-trendspots-the-disruptive-potential-of-internet-of-things#) - [Thought Leaders](https://www.anderssorman-nilsson.com/blog/future-trendspots-the-disruptive-potential-of-internet-of-things#) ### RECENT FORESIGHTS [** ](https://www.facebook.com/thinquetank/) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anderssormannilsson/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/andersofthinque) [** ](https://twitter.com/asormannilsson) [** ](https://www.instagram.com/andersbygeorgsorman/) ### ANDERS SÖRMAN-NILSSON #### FUTURIST.
