Imagine that things around you begin communicating with you and start providing information in a smarter way.
How would you feel if you possess an alarm clock that is familiar with your office location, knows the best routes to your workspace, is acquainted with traffic conditions and is programmed to create an estimate of your arrival time so it can wake you up accordingly? You know what that means, right? It means less traffic on the road – more sleep.
Do you want a hot coffee waiting for you at your office? No problem, just tell your coffeemaker to start brewing one on your way to work via a mobile app. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? These are but a few benefits that can be at your convenience in a new, connected world of IoT.
Internet of Things, commonly known as IoT is a tech concept that refers to a network of Internet-linked devices, vehicles, and appliances that are able to collect and exchange data with each other and with us. IoT became known courtesy of Kevin Ashton, who coined this concept back in 1999.
To put everything in a nutshell, IoT will enable things around you to update their status on the Internet.
The IoT ecosystem is a blend of sensors, processors, and actuators, all being able to use the sweetness of the Internet. Electronics has become smaller and much faster. The Internet has become more ubiquitous and simpler to use. That is why we are confident that the Internet of Things is on the verge of explosion.
Every giant in the industry in all areas want to have IoT as a part of their family. And the field is so vast that there is scope for all.
The melding of the physical and the digital world promises to be a hallmark of the IoT revolution, connecting not just people, but also everything around us with which we interact.
