Very much agree that humans are going to remain at the center of this revolution. Human-centered design will be increasingly important as we simultaneously need to make sense of more information while also becoming self-aware that having our noses in devices constantly is not healthy.

The phrase "data literacy" threw me off a little though, especially when coupled with comments about connecting people and sharing knowledge. I suppose it was the word data that caught my attention, rather than information or knowledge (see DIKW). I think of data literacy as an analytical skill for converting raw data into information and knowledge, which may always require a special kind of person. The literacy I think that IoT will require, and as you pointed out, will be sense-making through conversation. I wonder if this be better termed "knowledge literacy".
