BBC Make It Digital
This document discusses the "Internet of Things" (IoT) and its key components. The IoT connects physical objects through sensors that collect and share data over wireless networks. These "things" can provide identification, store information, collect sensor data, process information, communicate messages, and actuate physical controls. Common examples of things already using these features include chairs, windows, ceiling fans and light bulbs embedded with devices. The document also provides resources for learning how to design and build IoT devices using tools like Arduino, including tutorials on sensors and programming.

The “Thing” may provide Identification and info storage(RFID tags, MAC (Media access control) address) Information collection (Sensor networks, store sensor values) Information processing(Understanding commands, filtering data) Communications (Transmit and receive messages) Actuation (Switch control, motor control) It means adding an embedded device to say a chair, window, ceiling fan or bulb for them to have theses capabilities. Some systems which already have the above features: Can you think of any?

Editor's Notes
- #6 Timing: 10mins Script short : Problems we are looking to solve should have some of the above characteristics. Script Long : “There are certain key characteristics that make a problem a problem, and worth solving with a IoT, they are… A problem should be… Familiar: They effect either real people you know (and can name), or yourself - you should be able to name 3 people that you know personally who have the problerm Frequent: They happen often enough to justify a solution - Specific: They have a clearly defined story you can tell – You should be able to tell a story that includes the problem Irritant: They often get on somebody’s nerves – If its not annoying its probably not even a problem. It may sound obvious but sometime people try to create solutions to problem that do not even exist. Expensive: What you forfeit if you don’t have a solution is pretty high -could be money, time ,friends etc Mobile: They occur on the go in unpredictable times and places.- if the problem occurs while you&apos;re by you pc, you may prefer to just find an online solution”
