Abstract
Not only has this vision of Karl Steinbuch been realized for decades now, the term ‘connectivity’ is being redefined with the Internet of Things (IoT). With smartphones, tablets and ultra portable laptops having already revolutionized how, when and where people get connected, makers of sensors and other networked endpoints are looking to take things to the next level with an even more sophisticated ecosystem of devices. The vision of 50 billion connected devices by 2020 [99], suggests that anything that can benefit from being connected, will be connected.
In a few decades time, computers will be inter-woven into almost every industrial product.
-Karl Steinbuch, German computer science pioneer, 1966.
