IoT is a lot buzzword than anything else these days. Though IoT term often is used as a next generation thing, it is already in practice for quite sometime now. As I understand, it is nothing but getting hardware devices/active materials connected to Internet. Smart TV is an example of IoT. Internet Connectivity to these devices does a basic task of transmitting data to the internet which can be used by any other application connected on the Internet It can also control the device by transmitting data to the device from the any other connected device/network. End of the day, unless there is a benefit to enterprise, any technology/platform doesn’t survive. IoT promises data from off-line entities, which can be analyzed and provide an action point to improvement.
