An increasing number of networked devices are out there in the wild, ranging from security cameras to aerial drones, to small Raspberry Pi single-board computers, and many others. The total installed base of Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices worldwide is projected to reach 30.9 billion units by 2025, a sharp jump from the 13.8 billion units in 2021. These devices are becoming smaller in terms of their physical form factor — leading to a new designation I use, the Internet of Small Things (IoST).
