People have been connecting to the Internet for decades. It is only recently that things have been able to connect to the Internet. There are many examples of things posting their status on Twitter and allowing uni-directional access. TurnMeOn is an example of allowing bidirectional access between people and things using Internet protocols. Users can query the status of a light bulb. In addition, users can turn a light bulb on and off.enInternet of ThingsTurnMeOnBidirectional accessConference PresentationButgereit, L., Coetzee, L., & Smith, A. C. (2011). Turn me on!
