What’s next

New IoT-based devices are continually being developed and we should recognize that almost any physical item can now be made smart by adding IoT sensors, some connectivity, and computing capabilities. If the return-on-investment model is favorable, chances are it will become smart. IoT device costs will continue to decrease, making more and more items candidates for being made smart.
