This document discusses the evolution of enabling technologies that have led to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT). It notes that miniaturization, wireless connectivity, cloud computing, and the availability of data analytics have created the "perfect storm" for an explosion in connectivity between intelligent devices. The document outlines several sectors that are being transformed by IoT applications, including home automation, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, and utilities. It also discusses how IoT is creating new hybrid jobs that combine skills like software development, data analytics, and quantitative skills to support IoT-enabled products and services. Finally, the document describes Newark, New Jersey's "Smart City Test Bed" initiative to develop Newark as a living laboratory for IoT
