As critical infrastructure gets built up, we expect to the internet to become more than just a network of computers – it will, in fact, become a network of devices, or “things”. As of now, there are 13.4 billion “things” or devices connected to the Internet. By 2020, this is expected to go up to a massive 38.5 billion. Indeed, the number of “things” that are connected to the internet will be in multiples of the number of internet users. Also artificial intelligence and big data will make people more aware of their world and their own behavior.
