I haven't read the article, since the page fails for some reason (getting a contact support message). Despite that, I'm personally quite excited about IoT. It doesn't just have huge potential in bigger manufactoring processes and places where monitoring and decision making can be automated to a large degree, but also personal value in home automation. I'm currently writing my thesis which focuses on reactive events, in the sense that devices can subscribe to specific events and they also post their own. For example: the light in the entrance of your house is connected and will transmit the event, {device: 'Light', location: 'Entrance', value: 'On'} which your thermostat in your living room has subscribed to. It will then receive this event and based on the value, in this instance 'On', change the room temperature by either raising or decreasing it. I'm very fond of automating things on my computer, so bringing stuff like this into the real world, in an easy way is one of the goals. After my thesis is done I will open-source it, and it'll hopefully be something that people can actually use.
