Imagine a world where you can attend your Economics class from the comfort of your own room, where your gerbil can send you a picture to say it’s hungry, or your dress can tell when you’ll need a rain coat…. If you think this is the World of Tomorrow, you’re in for a world of surprises! This phenomenon is called the « Internet of Things ». It’s a world where things connected to the Internet can « think » and « communicate » for themselves. It’s a world where all the things mentioned here are already taking place. It is the World of Today, and YOU are a part of it!
