New products packed with digital features are becoming more powerful and efficient while heightened connectivity is making even everyday household items such as vacuums, refrigerators, and washing machines “smarter.” Billions of devices connecting to each other and the Internet feed consumer demand to know everything going on everywhere at any moment, transforming the industry—and society at large—while opening up endless opportunities for product innovation.
