A Gartner report says that there will be 25 Billion connected things by 2020, while Cisco believes that number will be 50 Billion, Morgan Stanley goes on to claim that it will be even higher, and up to 75 Billion. While the exact numbers might differ, one thing is for sure, we are in the era of connected things. Devices, objects and people connected to each other primarily through the internet.

The fact that devices can be connected to each other, share data and take intelligent decisions by talking to other devices opens up opportunities that were previously unthinkable. It can disrupt the way we interact with our surroundings. Build applications on IoT that help us improve our experience in our day to day life.
