IoT – the Internet of Things is here. But are we ready for it? First, let’s define what the IoT is – according to Tech Target:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

The machines are talking among themselves and no longer need us to accomplish their tasks. Effectively, any device with an IP address that connects to the internet is a part of these interrelated devices.
