IoT is the Killer App for Edge Computing

To become dominant, every technology needs to find its spark.

For cloud computing, it was the explosion of software-as-a-service and mobile devices. Today, there are more than 5.3 billion mobile phone users in the world, meaning nearly seven out of every 10 people on Earth are downloading data and information from networked servers built specifically for high-speed downloads.

The upcoming edge computing era has its own killer app: the Internet of Things.
