Autodidacticism
(also autodidactism) or self-education is the act of teaching oneself
about a subject or subjects in which one has had little to no formal
education. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodidacticism)
This word accurately describes the how, why and what we have all
self-learned in 2014, and what our focus for 2015 needs to
be. As IoT propels our entry into interactive social media
as an input and output of our building automation systems we need to
rapidly self-educate ourselves in an area that we all have no formal
education.
Of course this autodidactism is now rapidly spreading to the
self-learning being part of our devices and cloud based services. Our
survival depends on our ability to embrace and achieve our
self-education of this brave new world.
Our authors have done an amazing job of capturing subject matter that
we all need to better understand. We hope that AutomatedBuildings.com
will be part of your autodidactism. I love that this word
contains these three words Auto……..Did…….. Act. This provides us an easy
way to remember this unusual word that is becoming our future.
I am looking forward to using this word in encouraging the attendees of
our free education sessions at AHRExpo 2015 in Chicago to keep on the
self-education theme, please drop in and join us.
As always this issue is a nest of great articles, columns, reviews, new products,
interviews and of course the steady stream of news depicting our
rapidly evolution and journey to "IOT Openness and Interaction".
