What is Internet Of Things ?
A short definition of the internet of things (IoT) is a collection of small devices connected to the internet. The IoT takes the concept “internet” a step further, beyond most people’s use cases.
Thus far, the internet’s primary function is communication. The internet has allowed users to be more accessible to and connected with one another. Most people go to the internet to communicate and retrieve information. Users might login to email or social media accounts, which have the internet running so users can communicate and send pictures to one another. Users ask Google what is going on in the news. Users ask Yelp for information about a restaurant.
The IoT, now, extends this purpose—connection—to the non-human. The same internet technology that sends packets of information from one IP address to another, allowing humans to gather and send information, can similarly have small devices connected in order to gather and send information.
The significance of the IoT
While there are funny use cases for catching signals through the IoT, there can be many, many beneficial use cases. Every industry operates in the same way: receiving a signal and making a decision. Every industry will benefit from putting its custom devices on the IoT in order to collect the necessary data to make more informed decisions about what to do and, more significantly, when to act.
There was talk of IoT in the early 2010s; all the pieces were there. People experimented with linking major home appliances like fridges and dryers to the internet of things. At the time, most of these connected devices were just fancy add-ons or novelties to distinguish a product from its competitors.
In 2020, the IoT is better prepared to thrive. IoT benefits greatly in the technological ecosystem of 2020:
- Storage is cheap.
- The Kubernetes architecture, made available around 2017, is available for managing both many and large computer tasks, removing the burden from server engineers (the focus shifts to cybersecurity).
- Machine learning techniques process and make use of large amounts of data.
- Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure all have a band of people to manage these resources for a reasonable price.
In the 2020s, tech companies will be able to utilize the IoT and connect devices to provide a service, not just a novelty.
