The connectivity, networking and communication protocols used with these web-enabled devices largely depend on the specific IoT applications deployed. For example, researchers at the Morgridge Institute for Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are developing a smart toilet as a way to collect health samples. Sensors and cameras can be used to monitor the perimeter of restricted areas and detect trespassers in non-authorized areas. "Simply, the Internet of Things is made up of devices – from simple sensors to smartphones and wearables – connected together," Matthew Evans, the IoT programme head at techUK, says. Connected machines and objects in factories offer the potential for a 'fourth industrial revolution', and experts predict more than half
