Internet of Things

The Internet of Hacked Things

Mark Roberti | August 16, 2015


Life—or, at least, the technology-adoption lifecycle—is so predictable. In October 2014, when we launched IOT Journal, I wrote, in an opinion column, "There is a lot of hype about the Internet of Things, and that hype will fade, just as it did for RFID and eventually does for all new technologies" (see The Internet of Things Journal).
Sure enough, the Internet of Things is losing its luster.
