Wearable Technology, IoT- Insights and Top-Level Trends

In 2014, attention was focussed almost entirely on wearable technology WT for humans rather than the market less than one tenth of the size for wearable technology for animals. There was very rapid growth in manufacturers but there were no major blockbusters and products, strongest focus being on internet connected devices. Wild enthusiasm was rarely matched by achievement but there is substance here for the future. Unlike wearable technology, it is quite difficult to find the genuinely major new business in the IoT firmament. Everyone is claiming to be central to it to jump on the bandwagon, including Bluetooth, ZigBee, NFC and RFID proponents. The Internet of People which consists of web-connected tablets, laptops, phones and wearables has often been conflated with it though IoP has completely different maturity, technology, application and challenges.
