The most common misconception about the "Internet of Things" is the acronym itself.
IoT stands for "Internet of Things"
  • It's not "Internet of One thing" - the only thing connected
  • nor "Internet of a Dozen" or "Internet of a Hundred" things
Why is this so important?
Let's look at how the Internet of Things compares to the automobile business.
Both Car and IoT assets act independently by themselves. However, both require large-scale infrastructure for management and maintenance.
For example, changing the tires of a car (Summer-Tire, vs. Winter-Tire) would look similar to the following procedure:
  1. Prepare the "new" set of tires
  2. Go to the car and decide what tire to start with
  3. Determine the nut (screw) size and use a correct wrench to loosen the nuts
  4. Use a car jack to lift the car
  5. Replace the "old" tire with the "new" one
  6. Remove the car jack and make sure that all nuts are tight
  7. Repeat the steps for the other three tires
  8. Be happy that everything went well
