Wolfram Data Drop,
the universal data
system for the
Internet of Things?
Stephen Wolfram is one of those smart Internet
guys. Born in London in 1959, this scientist has
been exploring for some time now the limits of
technological innovation in areas such as online
searches. Founder and CEO of Wolfram Research,
he is the creator of the software Mathematica and
the search engine Wolfram Alpha. His personal
ambition is to revolutionize completely the
Internet of Things… and it seems that with his
latest invention he might do it!
