The future of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Technology has Already Started

(PresseBox) (Herrsching am Ammersee, )
More and more devices are connected to the Internet and the number will continue to rise exponentially. With the digital world upon us, digitalization will significantly change the technology market through the Internet of Things, according to a research by Gartner, Inc. in November 2013. By 2020 over 30 billion connected devices are expected to be in use and IoT will generate an added economic value of USD1.9 trillion. IoT is creating new markets and a new economy. In the upcoming year cloud technology, as one of this century's megatrends, is going on to inspire the world - the industry as well as everyday life.

Cloud technology for smart homes, meaning every gadget and appliance is connected to the web, has also been one of the key topics at the International CES 2014 in Las Vegas, the annual indicator for technology trends. It was a first insight into the very latest advancements in cloud based solutions that will revolutionize the consumer electronics sector in the upcoming years.

From startups to the big players - everyone wants a piece of the cloud technology for smart homes cake. Sony Computer Entertainment for example, who will be launching an ambitious cloud-based TV-streaming service later this year, providing live and on-demand content to all your Sony gadgets (TVs and the PlayStation), or the Wi-Fi-enabled doorknob that tells you who's at the door via a smartphone app, and iDevices' kitchen thermometer, allowing you to share temperature data and cooking experiences with other tech-savvy gourmets.
