Internet of Things is the next evolution of the internet. Internet of Things often called Internet of Objects is one of the most disruptive technologies of this century. IoT consist of smart appliances connected in our homes, businesses and in our surroundings.
According to the Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG), IoT is simply the point in time when more “things or objects” were connected to the Internet than people.
There is a significant increase in the number of connected devices starting from computers to smart buildings.
According to Gartner report, by 2020 connected devices across all technologies will reach to 20.6 billion. Which is a huge number.
Initiatives and advances, such as Cisco’s Planetary Skin, HP’s central nervous system for the earth (CeNSE), and smart dust, have the potential to add millions—even billions—of sensors to the Internet.
