In the near future, more and more devices and systems of all different shapes and sizes will be connected to each other and to people, and exchanging data automatically via the Internet. It’s the Internet of Things (IoT). It will be by far the world’s largest device market.
You might be surprised to learn how many things are connected to the Internet, and how much economic advantages can derive from gathering data that can be analyzed to complete tasks, answer questions and predict scenarios. In this Venture Beat interview, Tim O’Reilley, the technology publisher and Silicon Valley guru, says the IoT’s potential is still understimated. He believes that the “coming IoT era will result in more sweeping changes to our lives, our work, and our communities than those brought about by the eras of the PC, Internet, or smartphones”.
To be ready to fully embrace this new era, it is important to understand what is the IoT exactly, what makes it so trendy, why is becoming an increasingly growing topic of conversation and what should we expect over the next years. The articles below detail the past, the present and the future of the Internet of Things (and shows us that an exciting future awaits us).
