\"Internet<\/a>The Internet of Things is a world where everything can be both analog and digitally approached. It reformulates our relationship with objects \u2013 things- as well as the objects themselves.\u00a0 Any object that carries an RFID tag<\/a> relates not only to you but also through being read by an RFID reader nearby, to other objects, relations or values in a database. In this world, you are no longer alone, anywhere.<\/p>\n

The Machines Are Talking a Lot<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/a>Cisco’s Visual Networking Index Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast Update, 2011-2016<\/a> reports that Internet traffic continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Cisco says that the second leading source of internet traffic will be the Internet of Things devices.<\/p>\n

The networking giant says the source will be from machine-to-machine<\/a> communications, or “M2M.” Brian Bergstein at MIT<\/a>‘s Technology Review<\/a><\/em> says<\/a> to think of sensors<\/a> in cars and in appliances, surveillance cameras, smart electric meters, and devices still to come, monitoring the world and reporting to each other and to centralized computers what they’re detecting. The chart below, reprinted from the Cisco report, shows just how extreme the jump in machine-to-machine communications could be. Cisco says M2M will grow, on average, 86 percent a year, reaching 508 petabytes a month, or half a billion gigabytes by 2016.<\/p>\n
