The Internet of Things
The “Internet of Things” (IoT) is becoming an increasingly growing topic of conversation both in the
workplace and outside of it. It’s a concept that not only has the potential to impact how we live but also how we
work. But what exactly is the “Internet of Things” and what impact is it going to have on you, if any? There are a
lot of complexities around the “Internet of Things” but we want to stick to the basics. Lots of technical and policyrelated conversations are being had but many people are still just trying to grasp the foundation of what the heck
these conversations are about.
Let’s start with understanding a few things.
Broadband Internet is becoming more widely available, the cost of connecting is decreasing, more devices
are being created with Wi-Fi capabilities and sensors built into them, technology costs are going down, and
smartphone penetration is sky-rocketing. All of these things are creating a “perfect storm” for the IoT.
So What Is The Internet of Things?
Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet
(and/or to each other). This includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones,
lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of.
So what now?
The new rule for the future is going to be, “Anything that can be connected, will be connected.”
