List of Internet of Things (IoT) Available Now

Not a complete list, but the tip of the iceberg.

Next week at the Partners in Preparedness Conference. I'll be doing a session on technology for emergency management: past, present and future.  

One of the technologies now knocking on our doors is the Internet of Things (IoT). To give you a peek into the near future, look at this list of objects/tools/devices that are already Internet-ready. This list doesn't include the types of equipment we will be using as emergency managers on a regular basis, but it gives you an idea of what is coming your way — rapidly!
