Internet of Things Many experts say the rise of embedded and wearable computing will bring the next revolution in digital technology. The vast majority of respondents to the 2014 Future of the Internet canvassing agree that the expanding networking of everything and everyone—the growth of the Internet of Things and embedded and wearable devices—will have widespread and beneficial effects by 2025. They say the opportunities and challenges resulting from amplified connectivity will influence nearly everything, nearly everyone, nearly everywhere. We call this a canvassing because it is not a representative, randomized survey. Its findings emerge from an “opt in” invitation to experts who have been identified by researching those who are widely quoted as technology builders and analysts and those who have made insightful predictions to our previous queries about the future of the internet. (For more details, please see the section “About this Canvassing of Experts.”)

Internet of Things The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable it to achieve greater value and service by exchanging data with the manufacturer, operator and/or other connected devices. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to interoperate within the existing Internet infrastructure. The term “Internet of Things” was first documented by a British visionary, Kevin Ashton, in 1999.[1] Typically, IoT is expected to offer advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M) and covers a variety of protocols, domains, and applications.[2] The interconnection of these embedded devices (including smart objects), is expected to usher in automation in nearly all fields, while also enabling advanced applications like a Smart Grid.[3] Early history[edit]
The Internet of Things - Overview The Internet of Things helps enable proactive data access from any connected device The Internet of Things represents an evolution in which objects are capable of interacting with other objects. Hospitals can monitor and regulate pacemakers long distance, factories can automatically address production line issues and hotels can adjust temperature and lighting according to a guest's preferences, to name just a few examples. Furthermore, as the number of devices connected to the Internet continues to grow exponentially, your organization's ability to send, receive, gather, analyze and respond to events from any connected device increases as well. IBM solutions can help put the Internet of Things to work for you by giving you the ability to: See more downloads for the Internet of Things.
The PRJobCoach What is Internet of Things (IoT)? - Definition from WhatIs.com The Internet of Things (IoT) is an environment in which objects, animals or people are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet. The concept may also be referred to as the Internet of Everything. In this Insider guide, InfoSec pros will learn about the risks related to the IoT and what they can do to mitigate them.
A Web of Things on the Internet of Things Summary Giving me more apps on my phone and more things to manage doesn't appeal to me. But giving me a personal network that automates drudgery and enables things that I couldn't do before does. That's the promise of a personal event network and why I think everyone will want one. This article by Marshall Kirkpatrick describes why the Internet of Things is real and happening right before our eyes. How the Internet-of-Things Will Shape the Future In December of last year, IEEE placed the web-of-things (WoT) as second in its top 10 tech trends for 2014. As the world reaches for greater connectivity, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become a vital instrument to interconnect devices. No doubt, the IoT will prove to be a disruptive technology. When Bosch decided to create the IoT company, Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions, it served as a reminder of how this seemingly new concept has quickly become mainstream. However, despite countless media mentions on IoT, understanding remains limited with many of us never experiencing it firsthand. What is the Internet of Things?
The Future of IoT The “internet of things” future may end up being terrible Technology’s promise of wonderful things in the future stretches from science fiction to science fact: self-driving cars, virtual reality, smart devices such as Google Glass, and the internet of things are designed to make our lives easier and more productive. Certainly inventions of the past century such as the washing machine and combustion engine have brought leisure time to the masses. But will this trend necessarily continue? On the surface, tech that simplifies hectic modern lives seems a good idea. But we risk spending more of the time freed by these devices designed to free up our time through the growing need to micromanage them. Recall that an early digital technology designed to help us was the continually interrupting Microsoft Office paperclip.
But the Problem Isn't Just the State, It's the Coders - Wired State I discovered there's now a mini-explosion of discussion of the Internet of Things as the geek power struggle for it heats up, and fortunately, that also means some more critical discussion. Here's a guy named Ken Craggs who followed me on Twitter because he follows this topic (I'm out of follow spots so put him in a list with a few others in his stream) and he has published a cautionary post about the Internet of Things called "Panopticon". The IOT (will there be an ID IOT?) has had all kinds of ominous developments that I've missed because I've been focusing on virtual worlds, social media, and occasionally augmented reality, all of which may be incorporated into IOT, of course. When I first saw the IOT prototype put up by Babbage Linden in 2006 or 2007, it was virtualizing virtuality further by tagging all the objects so you could instantly find them on the sim, then track them, add more content to them, etc. Semantic web, I guess.
How the Internet of Things Changes Everything Currently in the business world we are witnessing something like the epic collision of two galaxies — a rapid convergence of two very unlike systems that will cause the elements of both to realign. It’s all thanks to the Internet of Things. If you are not familiar with the term, the Internet of Things refers to a dramatic development in the internet’s function: the fact that, even more than among people, it now enables communication among physical objects. By 2015, according to my own firm’s projections, not only will 75 percent of the world’s population have access to the internet.
