Sergey BludovBlockedUnblockFollowFollowingMar 21The Internet of Things (IoT) evolved from a lofty concept to a prevalent reality in a relatively short amount of time. The IoT technology brings intelligence to objects and devices that are connected to the internet to alter virtually every aspect of our personal and business activities. From connected cars and smart thermostats to microwaves capable of measuring the weight of food and cooking it accordingly, the Internet of Things saves us time and money while making our lives more convenient and enjoyable. Smart cities, such as Amsterdam, Dubai, and Singapore, have taken these concepts further by utilizing IoT to radically improve the management of traffic, energy usage, water consumption, and more, beautifully illustrating the incredible possibilities that this technology brings to our world.

According to Gartner predictions, there will be 20 billion connected things by the year 2020. IoT’s reach is far and wide, resulting in a dramatic impact on business operations and creative endeavors in the music industry. When considering IoT’s applications in music, most people will think of smart speakers, wearables, and smart home devices used for streaming songs. However, while these advancements are undoubtedly significant, the music industry is embracing IoT technologies to a much greater degree, with innovative applications being discussed and developed at a rapid pace. The concept of the Internet of Musical Things (IoMusT) is upon us, showing the wonderful impact this technology can have on our industry.
