Before revision: The proliferation of connected low-power devices on the Internet of Things will result in a data explosion that will significantly increase data transmission costs with respect to energy consumption and latency.
After revision: The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a pervasive presence of interconnected and uniquely identifiable physical devices. These devices' goal is to gather data and drive actions in order to improve productivity, and ultimately reduce or eliminate reliance on human intervention for data acquisition, interpretation, and use. The proliferation of these connected low-power devices on the Internet of Things will result in a data explosion that will significantly increase data transmission costs with respect to energy consumption and latency.
