“Collectivity” – I coined a new word today


One of the really cool things about language is you can create new words, that have meaning.  Today I was on a call about the Internet of Things, and we were discussing connectivity.  That layer of the stack that allows you to send data from a device to the cloud or a data store.  As businesses area always trying to “move up the stack” they talk about going from being a pipe to ultimately providing high value business analytics.  Well to me, the word “Collectivity” is the desire to go from connectivity to collecting the data required for the high value analytics.
