Wikipedia
Internet of things, also known as the Internet of objects, refers to
the networked interconnection of everyday objects. It is
described as a self-configuring wireless network of sensors whose
purpose would be to interconnect all things.
Essence: there is a network where the objects function as a hub.
Connecting the objects creates new possibilities, new smartness.
Products are enhanced with data from the Internet.
