Internet of Things: Experts predict first online murder before end of 2014

We are living in an era where most of the devices we interact with daily connect us to the world wide web. This has led many in the developed world to lives of convenience and ease. However, this very feature of devices being connected all the time, opens digital natives up to a whole plethora of cyber attacks.

According to Dave Evans of Cisco, we are currently in an Internet of Things (IoT) age. We have phones, computers, cars and even toothbrushes that can connect and communicate through a network: the Internet. Still, 99 percent of physical, man-made objects, are not yet fully connected.

The phenomenon called the Internet of Everything (IoE) will drastically change the world and connect absolutely every physical thing imaginable to the Internet. Optimistic futurists believe that this will make the whole world better, from communications, science, education, economy and business.
