Rather than solely focusing on the impact on one specific IoT area (e.g connected intelligent city(iCity), connected iFactory), IDC has decided to look at how IoT will impact the individuals as they go through their daily lives. This multi-dimensional perspective also creates an understanding on how an individual’s daily activities and interactions impact multiple vertical industries. When we speak to both the vendor and tech buyer communities, we are often informed that people are struggling to understand how IoT will impact both their business and their personal lives. These infographics are IDC’s attempt to remove some of the “hype” and “confusion” around IoT and make it more tangible to the users.
