Internet Of Thing- Today and Tomorrow
Internet of Things (IoT): Today and Tomorrow
IoT is simply the network of interconnected things/devices which are embedded with sensors, software, network connectivity and necessary electronics that enable them to collect and exchange data making them responsive. In other words, The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.The Internet of Things is actually a pretty simple theory; it means taking all the useful things in the world and connecting them to the internet.
IoT applications are expected to prepare billions of everyday objects with connectivity and intelligence. It is already being organized extensively, in various domains.
Wearable technology is a mark of IoT applications and most likely is one of the earliest industries to have deployed the IoT at its service. Today we mostly see the use of Fit Bits, heart rate monitors and smartwatches everywhere.
When we talk about IoT Applications, Smart Homes are probably the first thing that we think of. The best example I can think of here is Jarvis, Jarvis is an AI system Zuckerberg has built to control his home and perform basic tasks, such as turning the lights off or on, control a particular room’s temperature, playing music, opening doors, and so on.
Livestock monitoring is about animal farming and cost-saving. We use IoT applications to gather data about the health and well being of the cattle, breeders, by using IoT we get to know early about the sick animal and help avoid a great number of sick cattle.
IoT provides a chance for retailers to connect with the customers to increase the in-store experience. Imagine walking into a fitting room at TJ Max equipped with sensors and an interactive screen. The sensors can communicate the items you are trying out with the interactive screen. In turn the screen displays other complimentary items also sold in the store. Smartphones will be the way for retailers to remain connected with their customers even out of the store.
Farmers are using meaningful visions from the data to yield a better return on investment. Sensing for soil moisture and nutrients, controlling water usage for plant growth and determining custom fertilizer are some simple uses of IoT.
IoT tomorrow :
By 2024, it is estimated that there will be more than $20 billion IoT devices. Here is a fast look back to shows where IoT devices are going. Consider: In 2013, there were more than 4.3 billion things connected to the internet, according to IoT Analytics. And by 2019 The market will increase to nearly 11.3 billion IoT devices. The future of IoT has a huge possibility of unfolding in the automotive industry. The question is, are we ready to share the roads with self-driving cars? 50 % of US drivers don’t feel safe sharing the road with driverless cars. Moreover, 72% of Americans are afraid of riding in a self-driving car. But we will have to see how these circumstances unfold. And since the competition is more than just high, and according to Forbes, apart from the main market players, over 1700 startups are entering the competition, it won’t be long since bots are driving our smart cars.
