Doubt it. The utility of a chip attached to a thing is access to the thing's state - which is besides its location usually nothing. Even things where IoT would intuitively bring the most value, such as smart remote control lights, aren't getting that much traction. So I'd say IoT wil be much less widespread than some people believe or wish. (Although there's one use case where IoT might become popular - power consumption measurenment for home appliances - so you could see real-time or monthly chart for example.)
