What is IoT?

Definition
(1) The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of Objects, refers to a
wireless network between objects, usually the network will be wireless and self-
configuring, such as household appliances.
------Wikipedia
(2) By embedding short-range mobile transceivers into a wide array of additional
gadgets and everyday items, enabling new forms of communication between people and
things, and between things themselves.
------WSIS 2005
Importance of IoT

 McKinsey & Company estimates IoT will have an $11.1


trillion impact by 2025.
 The IoT is significant because an object that can represent
itself digitally becomes something greater than the object
by itself. No longer does the object relate just to its user,
but it is now connected to surrounding objects and
database data. When many objects act in unison, they are
known as having "ambient intelligence."
 IOT brings an opportunity for humans to be connected to
the physical world more than ever before seen in human
history.
“The Internet of Things
(IoT) is in its infancy. It has
not been fully developed
and is fragmented.”

Applications of IoT

 There are numerous real-world applications of the internet of things, ranging from
consumer IoT and enterprise IoT to manufacturing and industrial IoT (IIoT).
 In the consumer segment, for example, smart homes that are equipped with smart
thermostats, smart appliances and connected heating, lighting and electronic devices can
be controlled remotely via computers, smartphones or other mobile devices.
 Wearable devices with sensors and software can collect and analyze user data, sending
messages to other technologies about the users with the aim of making users' lives easier
and more comfortable. Wearable devices are also used for public safety.
 In healthcare, IoT offers many benefits, including the ability to monitor patients more
closely to use the data that's generated and analyze it. Hospitals often use IoT systems to
complete tasks such as inventory management, for both pharmaceuticals and medical
instruments.
 Smart buildings can, for instance, reduce energy costs using sensors that detect how
many occupants are in a room. The temperature can adjust automatically.
 In agriculture, IoT-based smart farming systems can help monitor, for instance, light,
temperature, humidity and soil moisture of crop fields using connected sensors. IoT is also
instrumental in automating irrigation systems.
 In a smart city, IoT sensors and deployments, such as smart streetlights and smart
meters, can help alleviate traffic, conserve energy, monitor and address environmental
concerns, and improve sanitation.
Future of IoT

 The possibilities of innovation in the field of Internet of Things is still largely


unknown.
 As human race approaches to the era of rapid innovation in the field of artificial
intelligence
 and machine learning, assessing large amount of data regarding our physical
world is essential.
 Internet of Things thus plays a crucial role in this regard
 The IoT is expected to generate data in much more minuscale and precise level
which was previously unavailable.
 The pool of connected devices of over 50 billion devices all over the world can
make the world much more connected and understandable.
Trends in IoT
Security concerns

 IoT poses many level of challenges during its functioning.


 As billions of devices are going to be connected the data
produced is huge and maitanance of this data can be
troublesome.
 The encryption of data is highly necessary as it can be hacked
easily if it is unprotected.
 The authority of over data generated is still largely unanswered.
 The information collected by these devices and sensors are
highly sensitve and requires utmost care while handling.
 The seamless connection between smart devices and
interchange of information is likely to cause a different type of
noise pollution.
Conclusion

 Internet of things is still an emerging field and all of its


possibilities are not yet explored.
 The proper utilization of the field is going to be proven as a
golden opportunity for bettrerment of the world.
 But the problems that may arise when IoT is fully implemented
are yet to be analyzed and addressed.
 Hence concious and mindful efforts towards achieving this aim
must be taken and they must fully address the actual concerns.
