The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects physical devices to the internet. It predicts that by the early 2020s there will be tens of billions of connected devices, including home appliances, vehicles, and infrastructure. These connected devices will be able to communicate with each other to provide benefits like reducing energy usage through smart meters. Security and privacy are major regulatory concerns as personal data is increasingly collected through IoT devices.
2. IoT, which is intricately linked to the concept
of M2M is gradually coming to market and in the
coming decade or so, tens billions of devices
around the home, cars and even the trees on our
streets will communicate with each other.

6. All about the small "things"
The smart home will be able to track everything
we do on a daily basis, lock and unlock the front
door, automatically order the groceries once the
fridge is bare and a whole lot more besides.
7. Different from the
Internet of Everything
The IoT is used to describe the physical-first objects
that are then connected together before being
exposed to digital applications. The IoE is focused
on the data sets presented at the end of this.
8. Regulators are waking up to security
One of the major concerns coming from
consumers about having billions of devices
collecting data at all times is the security and
privacy that will come with it.
9. 5G has a huge role to play
Connected devices need the space to live and
breath, and connectivity is the biggest part of all of
this. 5G is being called the smartest network ever
and will act as the catalyst for all these devices.
10. All the big players want a piece
Google and Apple are just two of the companies
betting on the success of automation. The billions
Google spent on Nest to realise how serious it is
and Apple's development of the HomeKit SDK for its
mobile devices shows its readiness to embrace it.

things." —Steve Jobs
