Come up with your own "rule of thumb" based on your criteria and your market(s).1%, 2%, 50%, rules don't, and shouldn't apply to REI...they should apply to milk...as in,1% = Milk only a mother would love.2% = Milk that is growing in popularity50% = the increase per year in the number of people drinking 2% milk (I'm told this)

Internet of Things (IoT)The Internet of Things, or IoT for short, is like a superpower for everyday objects.Imagine if your refrigerator could tell you when you're running out of milk, or your streetlights could adjust their brightness based on the time of day.That's what IoT does – it connects regular things to the internet, allowing them to talk to each other and to us.Here's how it works in simple terms: IoT devices are like little smart helpers.They can be anything from your smartwatch and thermostat to your car or even a trash can.These devices have tiny computer chips and sensors inside them.These sensors can detect things like temperature, motion, or even the level of water in a plant pot.Now, here's the cool part.These smart devices can send the information they collect to the internet using Wi-Fi or other connections.That means you can check your smartwatch to see how many steps you've taken today, even if your phone is in another room.IoT isn't just about convenience; it's also about making the world more efficient and safer.For example, IoT can help cities monitor traffic and reduce congestion, or it can alert you when there's a water leak in your home, potentially saving you from a big mess.So, the Internet of Things is like giving everyday objects a voice and a brain.It's making our lives easier, our cities smarter, and our world more connected.
