When British technology pioneer Kevin Ashton first invented the term "The Internet of Things" he believed that a digital catalog of all physical objects would enable society to "greatly reduce waste, loss and cost." The term has since taken on its own meaning, with dozens of businesses having coined their own definitions and use-cases, and scores of I.T. thought leaders imagining the possibility of connected objects.

Envision a world in which an airplane seat can broadcast whether or not it's being sat on so that the airline can sell the space just before takeoff.
