2. WHY IS THE
INTERNET OF THINGS
IMPORTANT?
Analysts predict that the IoT will be more impactful than the Industrial Revolution.
Whether it’s a device worn on your wrist or hooked up in your home, the IoT will not only
affect your daily life but entire cities, countries, and society as a whole.
The IoT allows us to collect more data and monitor more reactions to changing
conditions. This in turn leads to better, faster, more efficient solutions to problems
ranging from health to urban management to natural disasters.

3. IOT IN THE HOME:
SMART METERS
By 2023, the global revenue from annual smart meter shipments is expected to
reach $6.6 billion. The collection of home energy consumption data in real-time
will enable better evaluation, measurement, and verification. This explains the
high demand for a product that will lead to more efficient uses of energy
in homes.

4. IOT IN THE HOME:
SMART LIGHTING
The smart lighting industry is expected to grow to $1 billion by 2020, and reduce
the 19% of lighting energy currently used worldwide. Smart lights, such as
LEDs, use less energy, produce less heat, and last much longer. As the
smart light industry grows, our lives become greener and more energy efficient.

5. IOT IN THE HOME:
SMART TVs
The amount of smart TVs on the market will jump from 4.2% at the end of 2010
to 30.4% in 2020. The sharp rise in demand indicates that consumers are
increasingly opting for the convenience of converging multiple activities,
such as texting and watching TV shows, in one device.

6. IOT ON YOU:
WEARABLES
Wearable tech is bringing us one step closer to acquiring the information and
data we want, when we want it. From augmented reality to body monitoring,
wearables are all about what Google CEO Larry Page once said, “reducing
the time between intention and action”.

7. IOT TRANSPORTATION:
CONNECTED CARS
With the computing power of 20 personal computers, a connected car could
allow you to change your smart home thermostat or connect with your phone or
other wearable device, all while sitting in the driver’s seat. The car is essentially
providing an infotainment system that connects users with the outside
world while they’re on the move.

8. IOT THROUGH YOUR PHONES:
SMART PHONES & MOBILE DATA
In 2014, mobile data traffic alone was almost 30 times the size of the entire global Internet
in 2000. Whether it’s listening to music, posting on social, watching Netflix, or conducting a
fundraiser through an app, the smart phone is capable of doing it all, which may make
it hard for other devices to compete with this tried and tested tech.
1 exabyte = 1 quintillion bytes

9. IOT WITH YOUR MONEY:
MOBILE PAYMENT
Mobile transaction volume is expected to grow globally to $721.4 billion by 2017.
That steady climb is another sign of consumers opting for convenience
over anything else. Mobile payments allow people to go about their day faster
and more efficiently, and help reduce the steps between the consumer and
business.

10. IOT IN THE
WORKPLACE
The Industrial Internet of Things could potentially add $14.2 trillion to the global
economy by 2030, increasing productivity growth and reducing operating costs.
The very intersection of people, data, and intelligent machines could lead
to hybrid business models, a more efficient workforce, and generate new
sources of revenue.
