First of all, we will be covering the details and
facts about the much-hyped topic known as the internet of
things.
Internet connects all of us. It is an “Interconnection of Networks or Network of
Networks”.
Similarly, The internet generally connects mobile
devices, laptops, and desktops from all over the world which let’s all of us to
communicate with each other. But what is “Internet
of Thing?, Isn’t an interesting phrase”.
This term “Internet
of Thing” was first introduced by Aston Kevin in 1999. Almost, When
devices other than mobile and laptops/desktop get connected to each other
through the internet. This network of physical devices is known as “Internet of
Thing”.
For example Cars, Electric
gadgets, Software, Watches, Televisions, Smart devices are when connected through
internet generated the internet of thing.
“Internet of Thing” describes the world as a place
where every possible electronic device is connected to every other possible
device in the smartest way possible.
Moreover, The “Thing” in the Internet of Thing
refers to as the devices which can be connected to all other devices in a
controlled manner.
Internet of Thing: The Concept
Internet of things, a technology that allows us to
integrate and let devices communicate with each other in order to serve us
better. More the use of “Things”, higher
would be the advantage. The concept that rides Internet of Things is “Connect Things, Connect People” and “Connecting humans to
devices”.
Establishing communication channels across all
the devices connected via internet technology and at any point in time at any
possible place.
Similarly, The concept behind “Internet of things” allows physical devices
and machine with integrated sensors to communicate and exchange data among each
other without the involvement of human beings making it an automated
process.
Above all, Automating the
data exchange will ensure better communication, resulting in an ecosystem. Where
everyone is connected in a systematic but not so secured manner because of its
vulnerability to hacking.
Consider an exampleof a car embedded with smart sensors and connected to
internet met with an accident. In such cases of emergency, Internet Of Things will come
handy where an automated response in form of SMS or Call will land to the
nearest medical center stating the
whole scenario which can ultimately result in better chances of the victim being
treated well and on time.
Internet Of Things:
Smart Cars
Similarly, Another
example can be ofsmart homes which to
are embedded with smart sensors connected through Internet where, if someone
forgets to lock his/her home, then these smart sensors will automatically
push the notification to the owner's smart device such as Mobile/Laptop. A
single consent given by the owner after the notification from his phone or
laptop will lock his/her home.
Internet Of Things: The
Characteristics
Internet Of Things being such a popular technology
these days which is accepted worldwide because of its ability to possess some
fine characteristics which
makes it such an interesting concept. Some of the characteristics are:
The Internet Of Things is the tech to connect
every device to each other via the internet. Making it an ecosystem where data
communication becomes highly organized and easy.
Certainly, It is going to transform a number of
aspects related to our lives in the upcoming days. As far as issues are
concerned, IOT is no longer a technology which is not vulnerable. It is most vulnerable to security and privacy end of
users.
Apart from this “Hacking” is also a major cause for concern.
By providing enough secure environment, the mentioned issues can be simply
lowered and IOT can become a major boom.
Moreover, the Internet of Things is surely the future we
should look forward to.
