Hyper-connected devices are expanding the ability to automatically transfer information machine-to-machine (M2M) without human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction…
Is this a luxury for the rich or an opportunity to provide a standard set of resources for everyone?
Internet of Things: Definition
In Ivy Wigmore’s words: “A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low — or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network.”

It’s coming!

Useful?
How will you react if your window calls the police and your insurance company because it’s been broken, without letting you know in advance?

Superfluous?
• My carpet changes color according to the temperature of the under-floor heating system.
• Lights in the house switch on at different intensities depending on who enters the room.
• The dishwasher will start as soon as I (and my telephone) leave for the office in the morning.
• An electrical generator safely and automatically shuts down when a sensor has determined that a main bearing is about to break.
• The door-handle of a hospital intensive care ward refuses to open the door because it has detected a fevered hand from an unknowing visitor.
• The baby bottle blocks the flow of formula because it’s too hot and it might burn the baby’s mouth.
• Your bathing suit changes colour to indicate a high concentration of metallic pollutants in the lake where you are swimming.
