The Internet of Everything Is Happening Now
Cisco estimates that 99.4 percent of physical objects are still unconnected. 1 Conversely, this means that only about 10 billion of the 1.5 trillion things globally are connected.2 At a more personal level, there are approximately 200 connectable things per person in the world today.3 These facts highlight the vast potential of connecting the unconnected.
Even so, the growth of the Internet has been unprecedented (see Figure 1). Cisco estimates that there were about 200 million things connected to the Internet in the year 2000. Driven by advances in mobile technology and the “bring your own device” (BYOD) trend, among others, this number has increased to approximately 10 billion today, putting us squarely in the age of the Internet of Things (IoT). The next wave of dramatic Internet growth will come through the confluence of people, process, data, and things — the Internet of Everything (IoE).4
