Currently, the one hottest technology trends occurring is the Internet of Things (IoT). Specifically, the IoT can be defines as a connection of sensors and machines. As such, the real value that the IoT creates is at the crosssroads of collecting data and leveraging the data to make valuable information. The data collected by sensors isn’t of value until it can be analyzed to produce valuable information. For example, icy roads are very hazardous and often times can cause injury and possible death to drivers. Providing wireless sensors in the road to detect the freezing ice and wirelessly communicate to an automobile’s sensor to slow the car down to a safe speed.
