This document discusses Internet of Things (IoT). It provides biographical information about the author, Vinay Babani, and defines IoT as connecting physical things to the internet so that they can be accessed remotely. Examples provided include connecting a couch with sensors to determine if it is occupied. Potential applications discussed are health monitoring, smart cities, tracking objects and people, and security. The author expresses interest in developing applications for home and family security and monitoring as well as cyber security. In conclusion, the author notes that while IoT makes information highly accessible, it also raises security and privacy concerns that companies and technology will need to address.

2. What Is IoT?
The world is moving fast, from Mosaic (first
graphical interface web browser) to a Cloud
storage of 4000 Exabytes.
We can now access our data remotely through
cloud computing & with the help of Pocket devices
such as phones,tablets & laptops.
IoT is an emerging next generation technology
which can connect every physical thing to the
internet and grant a person to access his/her
personal or professional life from any corner of the
planet.
Every ‘Thing’ can be literally connected through
IoT, whether it is your personal computer or a
dishwasher.
This concept can attach a human to Thousands of
different things at a time without the geographical
limitations.

3. What are those things?
• Let’s take a simple example of a Smart Couch.
• If I want to know, whether my couch is idle or some
one has occupied it, I can get this information from
anywhere in the world.
All I need is:
- A unique identity for my couch i.e. an ip address,
- A Medium for communication (generally internet).
- & some pressure sensors.
• I Can get this information on my smart phone through
an application which is connected to the couch.
• Now, Mr. ip will connect me to the couch through
internet and the sensors will let me know whether my
couch is idle or some one is relaxing on it.
• Pressure sensors can also determine the weight of
the person who has occupied it.
From goods that we use in our daily lives to the machines at work.

4. Applications of IoT
A thing connected through IoT can monitor people around us;
• A Tricorder can be a good example of that. Just walk to a person and you will come to know his/her mental & physical
conditions.
This can track anything with the help of unique ip’s:
• You can track your Child,wife or may be your cars key! as all of them are tagged with unique ip’s.
Managing resources will be easy and efficient:
• Every person can be allowed to use limited resources according to their needs, followed by an proper analysis with
respect to the age & lifestyle.
EHealth & Telemedicines are the future concepts of Health care:
• A Smart device having an “health care” application can detect and analyse your blood pressure,heart beat & pulse.
• A Remote hospital can analyse patients body 24/7, and prefix an appointment if something is going wrong.
• A call can be placed automatically to the family members & nearby Ambulance or hospital as the abnormality of heart
beat or pulse is detected.
• Not only the heart beats, our smart devices may analyse & screen cancer patients in the real time to determine the
results against medications.

5. Future Trends
Smart Cities can be built with the features like,
• Smart Parking - Monitoring the available places for parking in the city.
• Traffic Congestion - Monitoring of vehicles and pedestrian levels to optimize driving and walking routes.
• Noise maps - Sound monitoring in bars & centric zones in real time.
• Smart Roads - Intelligent Highways with warning messages and diversions according to climate conditions and
unexpected events like accidents or traffic jams.
• Weather monitoring - Intelligent weather & Snow level measurement in real time.
• Natural Risk Management - Early detection of earthquakes,landslides,Floods,Volcanos;which may save several
lives.
• Pollution level detection - Detection of air, water or noise pollution in our environment.
• Smart production & Shopping management - Control of stock in warehouses & providing advices to the customers
about trending products according to the needs.
• Animal / Human tracking - Tracking people or animals location with the GPS & internet protocols.
• Patient Care - Monitoring conditions of patients health, whether in hospital or an old age home.

6. Interest areas
We are living in Technocracy, whether we agree or not our lives are surrounded & ruled by technology.
• Through IoT Millions & Billions things are already connected, Trillions are waiting to get connected.
• Application of IoT will bring a change in whole world, as a single human being will be able to manipulate,control & screen
thousands of “Things” at a time with ease.
If given a chance, i would work for research & development of application which will help us manage those “Things” & make life
easier.
• A example would be, an application which can secure homes & Families; like getting information of how many people are
entering the place and what are the activities happening in real time. Or may be tracking the family members on the move &
an automation system which will take desired actions at the times of emergency.
Another area of interest will be security, as:
• With rising connectivity there will be a room for security & privacy concerns which may lead to increase in Hacking &
Terrorism. But here is the scope for IT companies which deal with cyber security concerns.
• One of the example for the security; an application can be developed which will give access to the data only through the
verification of particulars DNA (as passwords can be hacked). An ip can be allocated to Every respective users DNA and
access will be granted only if the DNA matches. Figure prints can also be used for the same.
• Also, there will be a lot of scope for Data mining companies, as large amount of data will be produced on a daily basis by
every common user.

7. Internet of Things is a wide and emerging concept in the world of technology.
There is a lot of scope for development in the future & For the future of humans.
A time may arrive where machines are learning automatically through the artificial intelligence & every human
being is connected to those thousands of machines.
The concept of internet of things is interdependent on Automaion & SMAC.
Also,
With the terms like Ease of accessing the information & getting connected with the surroundings, there is an
alarming concern for security and privacy.
Concluding the topic…
