The Internet of Things is Gaining in Use

The Internet of Things (IoT) gained prominence a couple of years ago and has been slowly gaining steam since then. It involves linking a variety of items, such as appliances, household items and clothing to the internet so that those linkages can be used to convey or analyze useful information. A recent survey by IDC shows that IoT applications are growing in numbers.

"Among the top IoT applications cited were office security and video surveillance, smart building controls, billable services, financial analytics, healthcare analytics and healthcare diagnostics."

We can expect to see massive growth in the IoT over the next few years. For more on the IDC survey, check out this link.
