I'm gonna repost comment made by niftich year ago because it's spot on:
Internet of Things isn't about people hooking up jailbroken Kindles to
one-way mirrors to show the weather. It's not about Ardunios and
Raspberry Pis being used to collect some data, move some servos,
and make a blog post about it. It's about big money to be made
by introducing new monetization channels in places there were none before.
(For some reason I was downvoted -4 last time)
- vezycash 8y agoI think this definition is too limiting. I do agree with data collection part though. Webcams, thermostats, bulbs, wrist watches, tv... Basically any electronics we have used since forever without issues would now need to be connected to the internet. Mostly for zero consumer benefit. For most of these, Ardunios and Raspberry PIs would be overkill.
