Abstract
There are 2 billion PCs in use today across the globe. There are over 10 billion mobile phones. By 2020, it is predicted that there will be over 250 billion devices connected to the Internet. Some of these devices will be new products, but most will be existing things we use every day that will be enhanced with sensors, such as thermostats, cars, eyeglasses, wrist watches, clothing, street lamps, cars, buildings…you name it, it will likely become connected.
