What I Learned Connecting One Million Objects to the Internet

In a matter of years, everything changed and thousands of devices became connected. From smartphones to wearable technology and smart home appliances we have seen the rise of the Internet of Things.

Kevin Ashton coined the term “Internet of Things” in 1999 to describe a system where the Internet is connected to the physical world via ubiquitous sensors. Today, the number of connected objects exceeds 17 billion and is expected to grow to 35 billion by 2025.
