Our steady progress as humans is a result of our ability to communicate with one another speaking human languages, working together to dream, build, learn, and continuously advance, providing more value together than individually. This ability allows us to “interoperate” as a society with rules, governance, and structure, providing opportunities for each individual to focus their energy on a few things rather than the things you need just for survival. The Internet of Things (IoT) applies this same concept to machines, using protocols, machine languages, and syntax for them to communicate with one another, providing rules and governance, and creating a machine society that interoperates and creates more value together than they would individually.
