IoT Streaming Data is Going to the Dogs

The Internet of Things (IoT), with its ubiquitous sensors and streams of massive data for massive insights, has an estimated market valuation of nearly $2 trillion. Apparently, the "sensoring" of the world is a seriously big deal, generating insights into people, processes, and products on a scale that is almost incomprehensible. Certainly, $2 trillion is almost an incomprehensible figure. The corresponding forecasts for data-driven insights that lead to such a valuation are expected to be on a similarly large scale to justify those astronomical projections. But insights are not hardcoded within Raspberry Pi or Arduino kits, though IFTTT (If-This-Then-That) kits might be a satisfactory solution (more about that later).
