The Internet of Things has always been more of an idea than an industry. The idea: connect everything. At its most simple, the concept of the Internet of Things is to put a sensor and a modem on everything and connect it to the cloud. At its most complex, those things employ a sophisticated system of sensors, modems, processors, operating systems, cloud integration, apps, displays, voice platforms and machine learning. Think of the difference between a simple Bluetooth beacon and LG’s new InstaView smart refrigerator.
