The Internet of Things is a is a term used to describe the interconnectivity of many devices which are able to dynamically interact with one another, and through the use of sensors, are able to achieve user programmed goals autonomously or remotely. This interconnectivity is a relatively recent development that is expanding rapidly as it is predicted to be the largest device market in the world, by 2019, doubling the smartphone market (Greenough, 2014).
