Internet or web is no far from the thing world as the web presence of thing world through representations is increasingly becoming common and they pose a new range of technological maneuvers and environment.
For simple and easy understanding of the term we can refer to the world of products with their individual identities and bar codes that make them interconnected in a commercial world of information sharing where product movement is monitored through radio frequency tags ascribed to them and then the information is registered online for accounting and stock management. This is just one single aspect of what we understand by the term internet of things. Today from healthcare to retail to manufacturing all businesses and industries deal with their own internet of things.
