I did a search on the forum and found no discussions about this so I think it might be worthy to create a thread. I am talking about Internet of Things. It is a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.
The following quotes are from the article http://www.forbes.com/sites/gartner...net-of-things-and-the-enterprise-opportunity/
"The world will see 25 billion Internet-connected things by 2020, and Gartner estimates that the IoT will produce close to $2 trillion of economic benefit globally. These things are not general purpose devices such as smartphones and PCs, but dedicated objects, such as vending machines, jet engines, connected soap dispensers and a myriad of other examples."
"Currently, IoT technologies — and business models that utilize IoT — are immature. Despite this immaturity, there are already sporadic examples of existing and planned uses across a wide range of industries. Enterprises will need to make plans and preparations now or risk being left behind by their faster-moving competitors."
It is going to be the next gold rush in the techno world, similar to the mobile app gold rush. I agree with the article that these IoT technologies are still immature, but like with every new techno they will make their way in our lives pretty quickly.
