IoT…I can remember the word for first time I heard in
my life. It’s been three years back when I was searching for the information to
present a paper on “Smart grid”. When I read the word for first time on
internet all I could understand is It’s also a new Buzz word in the world of
internet. But many things has changed in the area of IOT in this 3 years.IoT is
no longer a buzz word.
Data published by major research organizations
predicts that there will be 50 billion devices connected to the internet
by2020, you might be wondering it’s even more than the population on this earth.
Yes just look around your table you can see your phone, Laptop and many other
things of yours are already connected.
By the way what can be achieved with IoT :
1. Connect
with things:
With the implementation of Internet of things in the
real world there is High possibility to completely new way of interacting with
things and learning about things.
Suppose back home you have one study chair that you
love and you are far away from home but you want to know is chair occupied by
some? If yes who is that?. With IoT it is possible. Yes you must be wondering
how it can be possible.
Here in IoT everything will be connected with the sensors
and will have unique identity. These sensors will be continuously sending the
data to the personal cloud to which you are connected. That’s how you can know
who is occupied your chair.
Isn’t that
excited and even you can know who has played your piano just before you and
what song has been played.
2. Search
for things:
Forget about the searching google for the information,
you can even search your things that are gone missed Just simple like “Where is
my phone?”
3. Manage
Things:
According to the surveys 52% of the population is
living in the cities. With the implementation of IoT we can manage Facilities
to the citizens in much efficient way.
Where does IoT
stands today?
IoT is no longer a buzz word in the web, It has been
making a decent progress across the verticals and It’s happening in the real
world. Geeks and Technologists are already adapting and embracing the IoT in
the form of wearable devices.
Google glass
and Apple watch, Mi’s Health band are the well-known in the field and to say as
example.
IoT can change our lives by connecting various types
of devices, not just computers, tablets and communication devices to the
internet, could lead to new ways of working with a wide range of systems,
machinery, sensors, domestic, personal smart devices and what not anything can
be connected.
3 Scenarios
that illustrates the impact of IoT :
1.Hospitals:
Hospitals can monitor their patient’s health
collecting the data from the sensors connected to wearable devices like Health
Band. From Apple to many other tech giants are already into this business. Lot
of health bands are available in the market which can measure your health
related data.
IoT can enhance the quality of patient care and health
condition monitoring.
2. Future of
Banking:
With the wearable banking apps, Omni channel
personalization and the ability to detect the fraud all we can say is IoT can
redefine the future of banks through next generation services.
3. Smart
grid:
Smart grids which enables the more homes and building
getting connected to the grid solving many problems that Electricity
departments facing like power theft, also ensuring the High quality power and
less black outs.
Final words:
Internet of things will play a crucial role in making
the world around us better. Many technology giants like Apple Inc and Google
are already employing technology in many unimaginable ways that will improves
our lives.
Yes there will certainly be some challenges like
Security issues as crucial data will be available in cloud. Terrorism and
Hacking are more concerned and magnified. But let’s hope over the time
Technologists and scientist fight over this and make IoT becomes Next big thing
in the world.
