The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT). It defines IoT as the concept of connecting physical devices embedded with sensors to the Internet and to each other. This allows everyday objects like coffee makers, lamps, wearables and cars to connect and exchange data. The document provides examples of how IoT can benefit humans by allowing devices to automate tasks - like an alarm clock notifying a coffee machine to brew coffee, or a car notifying home sensors to turn on the air conditioning before arrival. Finally, it outlines current applications of IoT in areas like smart homes, wearables, connected cars and smart retail.

1. INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
AZHARUDDIN KAZI

2. PREACHING
• Broadband Internet is become more widely available, the cost
of connecting is decreasing, more devices are being created
with Wi-Fi capabilities and sensors built into them, technology
costs are going down, and smartphone penetration is sky-
rocketing. All of these things are creating a "perfect storm" for
the IoT.

3. SO WHAT IS INTERNET OF THINGS?
• The concept of the Internet of Things was invented by and term
coined by Peter T. Lewis in September 1985
• It is an Interconnection(Internet) of physical devices(Things)
embedded with sensors that collect and exchange data
• Simply put, this 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 cellphones, coffee makers, washing
machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything
else you can think of.

4. HOW WILL IT BENEFIT HUMANS?
• What if your alarm clock wakes you up at 6 am in the morning and
then notifies your coffee machine to prepare your coffee so that you
will save some time.
• Another example, imagine your refrigerator text’s reminding to bring
so eggs while coming from office, because the eggs are out of stock!!
• After a long day at work, you are finally about to reach home, as your
car is about 5 mins from your home, it will notify the home sensors
and will automatically switch on the air conditioner.

5. WHERE IS IT ACTUALLY BEING USED?
• Internet of things is every where with its applications increasing
exponentially day by day.
• 1. Smart Homes
• All home devices are interconnected and communicate with each other.
• 2. Wearables
• Used in smart watches to track day to day physical activities
• 3. Connected car
• 4. Smart retail (Amazon GO)
