According to a new report from Business Insider Intelligence, the Internet of Things is projected to connect 34 billion devices to the Internet by 2020, while traditional computing devices will only total about 10 billion.

Augury performs predictive maintenance analysis on industrial machines. Basically, that means they have sensors that listen to vibrations and sounds that industrial machines make. They then send that data to their servers and analyze it for any anomalies that may indicate a problem. Industrial machines are wildly expensive, and taking them down for maintenance is costly. With Augury, you know when there's a problem before it becomes a really big problem and you know that your machines can stay online and working properly. That in turn, means lower costs for manufacturers, which should eventually mean cheaper goods for you and me.

Or, you or I can just have fun designing and printing all sorts of things on our morning commutes and schedule them to be completed by the time we return home. Beats the hell out of Candy Crush.

Their luggage does all sorts of things that make a traveler’s life easier, which is why you buy luggage instead of just throwing your stuff in a trash bag. Their luggage comes with an onboard power bank, weight sensors and is connected to an app that lets you know where your bag is. While you’re sitting on the plane waiting to taxi, you can actually see if your bag made it onto the plane with you.
