Introduction
The Internet of things (IoT) is a fancy term for a connected world where almost everything man-made is connected to the internet. This phenomenon is not very full-blown these days. Farms don’t yet have a complete internet-connected irrigation system, and not all cities are laden with geographic sensors.
But that’s not to say IoT won’t come to fruition. Our voice-assisted technologies like Alexa and Siri have become more personal and responsive in the last five years. Smartwatches get better at examining heart health and providing actionable care. And our voice can jumpstart a host of other mundane appliances like microwaves, TV, and air conditioners.
