2. WHAT IS INTERNET OF THINGS?
The Internet of things (IoT) is the concept of “basically” connecting any
device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This
includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines,
headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can
think of. This also applies to components of machines, for example a jet
engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil rig. The relationship will be
between people-people, people-things, and things-things.
4. WHY INTERNET OF THINGS?
Why wouldn’t you? There are many examples for what
this might look like or what the potential value might be. Say for
example your alarm clock wakes up you at 6 am and then notifies
your coffee maker to start brewing coffee for you? What if your
office equipment knew when it was running low on supplies and
automatically re-ordered more? What if the wearable device you
used in the workplace could tell you when and where you were
most active and productive and shared that information with other
devices that you used while working?
7. Infrastructure management:
Monitoring and controlling operations of urban and rural infrastructures like
bridges, railway tracks, on- and offshore- wind-farms is a key application of
the IoT.
Medical and healthcare systems:
IoT devices can be used to enable remote health monitoring and
emergency notification systems. These health monitoring devices can
range from blood pressure and heart rate monitors to advanced devices
capable of monitoring specialized implants, such as pacemakers or
advanced hearing aids.
8. APPLICATIONS: (CONTINUED)
Transportation:
The IoT can assist in integration of communications, control, and
information processing across various transportation systems. Application of
the IoT extends to all aspects of transportation systems, i.e. the vehicle, the
infrastructure, and the driver or user. Dynamic interaction between these
components of a transport system enables inter and intra vehicular
communication, smart traffic control, smart parking, electronic toll
collection systems, logistic and fleet management, vehicle control, and
safety and road assistance
Home automation:
Home automation systems, like other building automation systems, are
typically used to control lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning,
appliances, communication systems, entertainment and home security
devices to improve convenience, comfort, energy efficiency, and security.

13. BARRIERS: EVERYTHING’S
GOT SOME!
Every technology is vulnerable at it's initial
stages, how it handles that phase determines
the success of that technology. Here are some
barriers that IoT must overcome to go from
Internet of things to Internet Of Tomorrow!
14. 1. PRIVACY CONCERNS:
Connected devices often monitor and track
consumer behaviour as a way to customize
and improve consumer experience. However,
The concern is that products are hack-able as
soon as they connect to the Internet and are
accessible by the world.
15. 2. SPECTRUM ISSUES:
Another barrier for the IoT is a growing spectrum
crunch, as airwaves become congested.
Technologies such as Ethernet and Bluetooth,
the main drivers of connectivity in the IoT, rely
onincreasingly congestedunlicensedspectrum.
16. 3. INTEROPERABILITY:
Interoperability between IoT systems is critical. Of
the total potential economic value the IoT
enables, interoperability is required for 40
percent on average and for nearly 60 percent in
some settings. IoT can’t yet talk with each other.
There aren’t any specific protocols or standards
for such type communication.
17. IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE
MADE:
1. Encryption techniques should be implemented
in order to protect user data and prevent
tampering with actual device.
2. A licensed IoT spectrum.
3. New protocols need to be defined in order to
make the “Thing”-to-”Thing” Communication
happen.
18. CONCLUSION:
As the Internet of Things is a developing technology it hardly
seems fair to conclude the topic. IoT has the potential to change
the technological aspect of our lives to a very high extent.
If IoT can overcome the setbacks described in the limitations
section then it is the Strong Contender to go from Internet of Things
to Internet of Tomorrow!
