Hi and Welcome to Steve’s Internet Guide.
In 2011 over 2 billion people where connected to the Internet (Wiki),and over the past 10 years the Internet has become just as important as TV, radio, and the telephone.
Daily internet usage continues to grow and Internet access is vital to our daily lives.
The first wave of the Internet involved connecting people to each other and people to information.
The next wave of the Internet will involve connecting the physical world to the Internet and machines to each other.
Networking
The Internet is a network of interconnected computers and other devices.
Although the existing network infrastructure will continue to used, the Internet of things is also going to require a new infrastructure consisting of new protocols, hardware and technologies.

Just like the WWW became the main component of the Internet and HTTP became the primary protocol the physical web idea could do the same for the IOTs.
