Like any other trendy area of tech, IoT is in the midst of its own hype cycle, so it's important to get a more detailed picture of how the money is flowing.

    Who the hell is interested? Who's buying? I specifically DO NOT want my washing machine, dryer, fridge, etc connected to the technocracy omni-net.
