Our planet is turning into an electronically controlled globe of energy. There are lots of types over Internet of Things (IoT) in the current technology oriented world. Let's just step back in time, consider about 19 years ago, when Internet of Things was as anonymous as the iPhone and now all of a sudden it is all over the place and news. So how was IoT coined? In 1999 Kevin Ashton had done it. As per him, it is Internet systems which connect to the world via sensors and storage of information. How the internet and the devices connected to it have developed over the past is proven from the fact that in the year 2003, the ratio of internet connected devices to people was 500 million internet connected devices to 6.3 billion people in the world along with about 0.08 devices per person. This rocketed faster and by the year 2010, the ratio goes 12.5 billion internet connected devices to 6.8 billion people in the world with about 1.84 devices per person. And now in 2017, you can see a great record, beating the previous ones. How do we classify a device under IoT? Not all electronic gadgets may be classified under Internet of Things. Devices such as a toaster or a refrigerator may not be a part of IoT unless they have the 7 key features which are notably: sensor, processor, internet connectivity, cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, quality, and security. The upcoming and further plan is to make the household appliances like light bulbs, doors, and washing machines, a part of IoT. These appliances do not get replaced very always when compared to our cell phone which makes them very appealing to be morphed. Providing the household appliances sensors and connectivity means giving them thoughts of their own and so the appliances would enable to perform functions automatically without external stimulus at various junctures. The evolution of machine to machine communication is what IoT all about and it is fast paced, which means capturing and storing of gargantuan amounts of information. The requirement to store information at every step has in-turn resulted in the Big data and a cloud computing boom. The company putting IoT into practices are a wide range and are destined to develop big in the near future. Incorporation of IoT in businesses permits the company to better assess the customer requirements based on the information collected and full fill their demands. Big data and the internet of things are the technologies to put an eye out for. But just how risky can this be? |
