People, machines, natural resources, production lines, logistics networks, consumption habits, recycling flows, and virtually every other aspect of economic and social life will be linked via sensors and software to the IoT platform, continually feeding Big Data to every node—businesses, homes, vehicles—moment to moment, in real time.  所以物联网真的是无所不包，人、机器、自然资源、生产线、物流网络、消费习惯，几乎我们经济和社会生活中的每一个方面都会通过传感器和各种软件连接到物联网平台，从而产生大量的数据，所以叫做Big Data，而且都是实时的大数据。    Big Data, in turn, will be processed with advanced analytics, transformed into predictive algorithms, and programmed into automated systems to improve efficiencies, dramatically increase productivity, and reduce the marginal cost of producing and delivering a full range of goods and services to near zero across the entire economy.  有了数据之后，我们就可以对数据进行分析，产生预测算法，然后用这些算法来提高我们的生产效率降低生产成本。不光如此，物联网还能为我们的生活带来极大的便利，试想一下，如果我们下班了，开着车快到家的时候，车就会给家里发个信号，灯开了(当然得是晚上);手机上的闹钟跟咖啡机连接，可以设置一天中的任意时间，自动煮好咖啡;就连洗衣机都能帮我们在不在家的时候把衣服洗好;妈蛋，电饭锅、吸尘器、冰箱都连上网，我们基本上就可以躺着啥也不干了，这才是生活。。。  It is already possible to buy Internet-enabled light bulbs that turn on when your car signals your home that you are a certain distance away and coffeemakers that sync to the alarm on your phone, as well as WiFi washer-dryers that know you are away and periodically fluff your clothes until you return
