Samsung Is Betting Its Entire Future On The 'Internet Of Things'

Business Insider

Samsung's future products will focus exclusively on the "Internet of Things" - the idea that everyday, household products are connected to the internet and able to communicate with one another.

At this year's Consumer Electronics Showcase opening keynote, the company announced that 90% of all Samsung devices will focus on the "Internet of Things" movement by 2017. Five years from now, all of Samsung's products will fall into that category.

The "Internet of Things" has been a big buzzword in the tech industry for the past few years, but we have yet to see mass adoption of connected-home products. But, if giant companies like Samsung are betting big on this trend, perhaps we'll see real, practical use cases that make it seem more like a necessity than a convenience.
