More and more hitherto unconnected "things" are becoming "smart" and "connected" everyday. Conventional mobile devices like phones, tablets and laptops continue to get more and more powerful every few months. The new IoT devices also get more and more powerful, albeit at a slower pace. All of these devices are becoming less expensive, adopted across markets, and more embedded into mainstream culture, creating an explosion of connected devices and hence data. Gartner and McKinsey predict a jump from the 6 billion connected devices we have worldwide today, to 20-30 billion by 2020.
