Have you heard of the Internet of Things?
Слайд 3It’s a buzzword in the tech industry right now.
Слайд 4
But it’s much more than just a passing trend.
Слайд 5
The Internet of Things (IoT) will connect formerly unconnected things to
the Internet — like cars, appliances and manufacturing equipment…
Слайд 6
So that they can collect and analyze data, and automate systems.
Слайд 7And the number of IoT connections is about to explode.
Слайд 10Nearly 50 billion things will be connected to the Internet over
the next five years.
Слайд 11And all of those connections are going to generate a lot
of money for companies.
Слайд 12According to IDC, the Internet of Things market will be worth
$7.1 trillion by 2020.
Слайд 14The potential market size is so big because the IoT will
increase efficiencies across many sectors.
Слайд 15For example, General Electric says that using the IoT to increase
oil and gas exploration by just 1% would result in $90 billion in savings.
Слайд 16But it’s not just companies that are warming to the IoT.
Слайд 17Consumers are adopting the Internet of Things — even if they
don’t know what it is.
Слайд 18Wearable technology, connected homes and Internet-connected vehicles are all part of
the Internet of Things.
Слайд 19Right now, just 7% of consumers own a wearable tech device.
Слайд 20But by the end of next year, that number will likely
jump to 28%.
Слайд 21And by 2019, companies are projected to ship 1.9 billion connected
home devices per year.
Слайд 22So what’s the point of all these statistics?
Слайд 23The Internet of Things is still in its infancy.
Слайд 24Even if a handful of these predictions prove true…
Слайд 25Then the IoT will be a revolutionary change to how companies
do business and how consumers use technology.
Слайд 26And there’s still time for investors to get in on the
IoT ground floor.
Слайд 27Or, you can miss out and kick yourself later for not
giving the IoT a second look.
