How big is the leap from Smart to cognitive, and how is the internet of perception going to lead the future of cognition?

Cognitive cities are a fact waiting to happen, once we understand what is true cognition and how it can be applied to the data that is being collected every second of the day, resulting in the internet of perception. A new concept that bridges the gap between smart and sentient, and between science fiction and reality. Cognitive cities will work hand-in-hand with humans to build a better future, with the help of conversational AI, and contextual understanding.
