Been around since the 80s and someone at carnegie mellon built a mechanism (smart vending machine) to check the machine if it needs to be restocked without actually going. Internet of things is about being lazy but it"s so efficient. Basically means, over the last few years this iot has become part of our lives. Driven by a combination: sensors, connectivity, and people/processes. Examples: alexa, roomba, smart refrigerator, smart light bulbs. Example: self driving cars car and is used with a bunch of sensors to not kill you while it is driving. These are devices that are smart, it feeds into our laziness, but it is efficient. Sensors: send location or gps type sensors that are like your eyes and ears, relying on these. These sensors thinking beyond your houses and think about economy and agriculture it starts to untap this growth because farmers can see their soil levels when they used to have to measure this.
