What is IOT?

The Internet of Things is the wireless network connection between various objects, both household and otherwise.  A great example is home automation; with the touch of an app, you can cause your daily alarm to correspond with your coffee maker, so it starts working on a cup of coffee as you rise for the day.  IOT is intended to change every aspect of life, including advertising and law enforcement.  Soon, there will be license plate scanning capabilities that will act on their own, and connect to a database to discover if a vehicle is stolen or not.  For the most part, IOT objects are going to be for general home use.  But its effect on the economy will be astounding; it is projected that IOT will add $1.9 trillion in global economic value.  So, inevitably, it will affect you.  The goal is to eventually have more objects connected to the internet than there are people, which is unavoidable!
