what is internet of things?

[plutonic]

The so called "internet of things" is a way of including all those devices that have been developed recently and those that will be developed in the future that will connect to the internet. Some of them are things like a thermostat in a house, monitors for the refrigerator that will tell you exactly what is in it so when you shop (or your refrigerator does for you), it will order the right food. Then there is all the stuff for hooking up automobiles to the internet. Basically anything you that is electronic and can be hooked up to the internet that is not yet available.

There are those people who say that the "internet of things" will eclipse all the devices that we have on the internet now by 1000 times. It will be really "BIG"

Personally, I do not want my fridge to hook up to the internet. Nor my toilet. Nor my bicycle...
