The first wave of the internet revolution came in with the growth of personal computers and in the second wave the internet came right onto our palms. That is with the advent of mobile devices and here we are living the third wave where all electronic devices are almost already connected to the internet or will be in the near future. The internet of things will bring about the next industrial revolution and will drastically transform the way we live and experience technology. Today quite possibly the internet of things will be as disruptive as the internet itself particularly when combined with big data and predictive analytics.
What is Internet of Things(IOT):
What exactly is IOT? The concept behind IOT is about connecting just about everything to the internet in real time which directly improves our quality of life and experiences. For instance how are you reading this article right now? on a pc? a mobile? or a tablet? well whichever device you're using is definitely connected to the internet and that means you're already using an IOT device. Sensors are becoming the endpoints of IOT networks wondering what exactly a sensor is these. Sensors collect an increasing amount of context aware data and information such as location images weather conditions and inject them into networks actuators and applications in real time. Big data analytics and predictions have become apparent synonymous helping perform and execute tasks seamlessly with minimal to zero errors. Are you ready to admit a major breakthrough life in the present is great but the future looks like it could be way more exciting. How you may ask since there are billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet collecting and sharing data in real time terabytes of data are going to become better bytes which represents thousand terabytes each there is going to be a shift from wideband networks to narrowband networks. For better rangeand you'll also soon witness the communication system transcend from 4g to 5g wireless communications. IOT will definitely be the paradigm shift of effective multitasking with massive applications.
Future with IOT:
Now let's have a look at the future with IOT environment. Imagine you're driving your smart car to work and you're quite late don't you worry because your car can now provide the shortest route with less congestion not only that the integrated sensors in the car alerts you about mechanical assistance, you also have the access to automatic temperature control and not to forget in case you're tired or wary. The car becomes self-driven since it comes with an accident prevention system as you're driving you see the smart farms through your window farmers are happier thanks to IOT which helped them with better heat and provided more efficiency than ever you might wonder how with the help of systems.
Like autonomous self-driving tractors adaptive irrigation systems soil health monitoring and animal welfare monitoring systems this is possible you also see smart factories which use IOT that is industrial internet of things with the help of analytics and automation systems. IOT helps in tracking goods in real time inventory management automated delivery system and much more.
Now you're returning home from office your car can park itself automatically your fingerprint voice or even your smartphone is enough to control all home appliances from lights to television and your door to water taps too are you excited to experience this smart future which is not far away of course.
IOT Is Everywhere:
You should be the applications of IOT will be seen in every industry across sectors be it education, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive and many more as you name it. IOT is definitely going to have a role to play in each one of them possibly the fourth way will be the internet of everything or IOE which would encompass all physical things processes data and people. Through wearables and surgically implanted sensors unlike IOT which focuses only on physical devices change is the only constant and the world will never be the same with the growth of ubiquitous connectivity and IOT is sure to change the way billions of people live their lives today.
So this was today's article, I hope you enjoyed. If you like it then tell me in comment section, I will write such articles more. I meet you in the next article. Smile,
