The internet of things is a technology where the objects those are not connected with internet are given connectivity to receive and send data. The objects range from toaster or kettle to sensors on motors or the sensors which are embedded in the concrete to detect weakness and cracks. Web developers may not be directly involved in the creation of such things but they are involved in the creation of data that is used to analyze and display the data of the devices. Many companies such as Xively and bugLabs have already started working on the development of API’s to communicate with internet of things.
