United Nation claims more objects on the net than humans do

It is like a concept straight out of the Terminator movies. The United Nation has pointed out that there are more connections to internet than there are human beings in this world. A report from the organization says that the changes brought about by the internet will be dwarfed by those prompted by the networking of everyday objects.

They have studied the concept of usage of electronic tags and sensors, which could potentially create a mass internet of things. The report said: “It would seem that science fiction is slowly turning into science fact in an ‘Internet of Things’ based on ubiquitous network connectivity. Today, in the 2000s, we are heading into a new era of ubiquity, where the ‘users’ of the internet will be counted in billions, and where humans may become the minority as generators and receivers of traffic.”

And unlike the older revolutions in the field of technology, this time the developing nations are playing a big role. Many countries are already heavily involved in generating the science and products around these items. The so-called Internet of Things is predicted to offer new business opportunities for all. This benefits not only the manufacturers but also the telecom industry.
