This document discusses the emerging field of sensors, wearables, and the Internet of Things. It describes how physical devices are increasingly being connected to networks and being able to both sense data and communicate. This represents a transition to the "Internet of Things" where not just computers and people but physical objects are part of the network. The document outlines several industries that will be impacted and technologies enabling this transition like mobile connectivity, open source platforms, and new applications across various verticals. It poses questions about what challenges may emerge as more of the physical world becomes networked and quantifiable.
