The Internet of Things and Our Life 物联网和我们的生活 Within the next decade the Internet could connect as many as 200 billion things―and not just machines such as cars or household appliances1, but anything that you can fit a chip or sensor2 into―including humans. These devices, collectively known as the Internet of Things, should make life simpler, even healthier, but can we trust them to look after us? What’s next in the Internet of Things?
