I've assumed it really means Internet of Sensors, and that the appeal will largely be commercial or industrial. I imagine tiles that can report if they're wet and need mopping, toilet roll dispensers that know how full they are, toilets that know if they're blocked, sections of shelving that know if they need restocking, containers of parts that know if they're getting empty.

Can't see much use for internet toasters, but smart fridges that can help reduce food waste would be great.
