Many of us have heard of it, but we have yet to grasp exactly what the Internet of Things (IoT) is. Forbes describes the IoT as the concept of connecting any device with an on/off switch to the internet. These devices can also be connected to each other. Imagine a scale in your bathroom that can connect to your refrigerator. If the scale finds that you are over weight, your refrigerator will know and will suggest healthy recipes to help you lose weight. Your watch may one day be able to warn you of serious health problems and concerns approaching.
