Everything you need to know about Internet of Things and our new connected world.
Experts predict the Internet of Things (IoT) can be a 2.4 trillion dollar industry by 2029, but what really is the Internet of Things? According to a Goldman Sachs report on the Internet of Things, the term was first used in 1999 by Kevin Ashton, a British technologist from MIT. IoT connects devices ranging from everyday consumer products to big industrial equipment on a network that enables information to be collected and managed via software to increase efficiency, create new services, and/or provide other health, safety, and environmental benefits. It's also the third stage in the development of the Internet and, according to experts, it will be the biggest. As we have seen, the Internet has led to many profound changes in our lives and to the fortunes of many businesses and industries. The rise of the IoT will almost certainly do the same, and, as before, many winners -- and losers -- will emerge from this movement.
