I was comfortable in my nice hospi ta l room after elective surgery. Then I realized that I could turn the lights in my house on and off, but I couldn’t control the window shade across the room from me. It made me think about the Internet, and I realized it wasn’t simply that I was able to connect to the device in my house. I had cobbled together a path from my device, a smartphone, to the lights and other devices in my house. Before I go further, I need to set some expectations. This isn’t merely the story of how I can remotely turn my lights on or off. It’s about the future of consumer electronics (CE) because software allows users to take advantage of today’s complex technologies without having to wait for a manufacturer to create just the right product. The key is having an architecture that allows the developer or the prosumer (i.e., advanced user) to focus on the problem at hand and think only about the endpoints of each interaction without getting lost in the “between.” That very idea has made the Internet what it is. This is not (just) a story about home automation. It is almost the opposite, in the sense that it provides an understanding of how we can mix and match elements rather than having to carefully engineer systems as a single whole. Finally, I am not making a sharp distinction between user and developer. Very few of the users will be developers, but the few who are can share what they create and build on the work of others as long as the architectural principles are respected. By limiting the dependencies between elements, we can improve agility and the ability to mix and match. Even something as simple as saying “that” switch turns on “that” light builds on these principles, which are increasingly important with the growing number of smart devices that need to interoperate.

Fire The ability to create fire freed humans from complete dependency on a point source of light and energy. (Albeit a very big point source but far away). The small fires we used to provide lighting in our homes were the forerunners of electric lights. Incandescent lights with glowing filaments aren’t all that different from fires given that wires are heated to glow just as candles and gas lamps cast off a glow.

S ince 2016, the IEEE Brain Initiative has sponsored numerous hackathons, challenges, and competitions on neuroscience and technology. These events are distinguished by their duration (onsite versus offsite), free range (optional versus specific topic), base material (by choice versus dedicated data set), and prize (academic versus industry sponsorship). Of specific interest to me, as the IEEE Consumer Electronic (CE) Society’s representative to the IEEE Brain Initiative, is the Brain Data Bank (BDB) competition. The event was held on 7–8 July 2018 for the first time in Asia, under the sponsorship of the ninth biannual Conference on Brain-Inspired Computing Systems (BICS) and Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU) in Xi’an, China. Participants demonstrated popular topics such as brain big data analytics using neural networks, robotics, and mobile handset music applications. For the first time since 2016, the event charged participants a fee to enter the competition. Approximately 100 attended the tutorial

e can observe that the word smart is used in multiple contexts, from granularity to devices, systems, and bigger physical entities. Examples include the smartphone, smart car, smart health care, and smart city. Thus, a question arises: What is smart? Does smart mean compact? Does it imply being efficient? Does it mean fast? Is smart synonymous with intelligent? Is it used in different ways? In the summer of 2018, I served on the panel “What Makes Smart Cities Smart?” at the third Zooming Innovation in Consumer Electronics International Conference, held in Novi Sad, Serbia. As far as I remember, I defined smart as the ability to gather information from data and signals and then act based on that information. Since then, I have been thinking further about this topic. I delivered a keynote in December 2018 at the fourth IEEE International Symposium on Smart Electronic Systems in Hyderabad, India. Based on the ongoing trends of electronics, I envision that smart electronic systems—also known as smart electronics or smart consumer electronics (CE)—can be energy smart, security smart, and response smart. Energy smart means that the energy consumption of electronics is optimal for longer battery life and smaller energy bills. Security smart ensures the security, privacy, or protection of electronic systems as well as that of the data or media that these systems capture, process, or store. Response smart in cludes accurate sensing, intelligent processing to retrieve knowledge or information from the data, and accurate actuation or response based on the information. There is a need for new hardware, firmware, middleware, and software research that interact with each other for efficient realization of smart electronic systems. This issue of IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine is dedicated to smart energy. In the July 2016 issue, we defined smart city as “a city connecting the physical infrastructure, the information-technology infrastructure, the social infrastructure, and the business infrastructure to leverage the collective intelligence of the city” to en hance livability, workability, and sustainability. A smart city is a very large abstraction made of smart components using smart technologies. Smart components are cyberphysical systems, which are physical systems made smart by using the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data analytics through artificial intelligence. At a higher level of granularity, smart energy, smart health care, smart transportation, and smart infrastructure are considered various components of smart cities. In this issue dedicated to smart energy (the Internet of Energy), we ask: What is smart energy? It is high-quality, sustainable, and uninterrupted energy with a minimal carbon footprint. However, it has different components at the next detailed level of granularity, including smart generation, smart grid, smart storage, and smart consumptions. Smart generation may involve generation from sources both conventional (fossil) and re
