One of the main impacts of the Internet of Things is the amount of data that will be coming from millions of connected devices.

Similarly, there already is a significant amount of data in the form of IoT research and stats coming from a multitude of sources.

While I write about all the major IoT research findings as they come out, I thought it might be helpful to compile in one place, at least from a percentage standpoint, some of the recent IoT data points.

So here is a look at the Internet of Things, by the percentages, with the source of each at the end:

• 8% -- Those involved in IoT making the most of the data they collect (Dimensional Research)
• 13% -- Percentage of marketing executives who see a privacy backlash as having the biggest impact on marketers within five years (Economist Intelligence Unit)

• 26% -- Of those involved in IoT who say data is analyzed too slowly to be actionable (Dimensional Research)
