As linked business devices and smart home and workplace gadgets take over the market, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained even more momentum.
There’s an interesting academic sidelight to this. It’s called the Internet of Strings. Or IoSt. It was created in Berkeley a few years ago by mathematicians. They saw the coming Internet of Things as too corruptible by business and political factions.
String Theory protects free speech and unfiltered thought. Berkeley went to String Theory. This theory is pretty complicated. It’s not comprehensible to most laypersons.
In cyberspace, String Theory creates strings of communication avenues. These avenues can then be utilized. Avenues exchange information. For automation. Or even to make payments using cyber currency. It’s an amazing tool. This tool is just now coming into its own.
It’s not being publicized much outside of academic circles as yet. But the Internet of Strings is something to keep your eye on. Do you feel doubtful about the Internet of Things?

They may easily supply data from the retail industry. Tracking client activity in physical stores may be quite beneficial to business owners. Data from the cash register, shop cameras, and mobile customer applications may be linked to developing customer care solutions. The data may be used to optimize labor or inventory demands based on peak customer activity periods of the day or week.
