After months of research about my favorite topic, The Internet of Things, I would personally define it as:
A group of objects that have been enabled to generate data, share data and use data with little or no human intervention for the purpose of creating value for a group of individuals, communities or businesses.
The role of the human intelligence becomes valuable in capturing the right and most meaningful data, and conducting the right analysis and process to maximize the value, benefits and effectiveness of any single connection and piece of data.
