The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of those exciting inventions that makes us feel like we’re living in the future. In brief, it refers to a network where physical items can connect to each other (usually via wifi or Bluetooth), exchanging information and influencing a machine’s behaviour. It’s starting to crop up in every aspect of our lives; we can now use our mobile phone to pay for goods without a credit card, turn the lights on or off and even turn our heating up when we’re on the commute home. And it’s in the kitchen that some of the most exciting products are being developed.
Whether you’re after something that makes following recipes a doddle, want real-time data on your eating habits or just want to feel like you’re living in the kitchen of the future, these are some of the best ways to turn your humble room into an all-singing, all-dancing technological paradise.
