i/Because after digesting most of the world's information from the #internet and other online sources, for lack of similar databases of #alien species, there is not much more knowledge to be accumulated ("only" to be processed differently, which is not as "steep").
the #InternetOfThings will provide "almost" infinite (and increasing) data points to be processed.
