The answer is the Internet of Things (IoE) which, if predictions are right, at the end of 2015 will have 4.9 billion things connected to other things, connected to other things around the world.

The thought of this huge number of connected devices going up to 25 billion by 2020 was enough to make Clare at 4BC give me an on air call to work through what the internet of things is, what it might be used for and how safe it will all be and as usual we ended up talking about lots of other stuff including connected cars, digitally connected bathroom scales, wearable digital devices, robots and even the G20 summit.

As always the discussions with Clare is great, the questions insightful and the conversation lively, so have a listen now and then look around to see what’s digitally connected in your world.
