The GoBone is an inventive toy for one's canine companion that boasts built in data-tracking capabilities. The smart dog toy is designed so that one's pet can play and interact with the object without human intervention, and proves that there are almost endless industries that can leverage such connectivity.

Meanwhile, the Lansinoh Smartpump is the world's first Internet-connected breast pump.
