Is IOT the future of this world?
Internet of Things has become more and
more popular over the last decade. It has taken everything under its
cloud and is now used to define all the smart technologies that we
have around ourselves ranging from smart phones to the smart houses.
Everything comes under the flag of Internet of Things (IoT).
If it is being said that IoT is the
future of this world there is nothing wrong in that. We are
surrounded by smart devices and smart technologies and technology is
still developing to become even smarter. A few years back personal
computers and internet changed the world into the what we live in
today and soon Internet of Things is going to give this world another
shape and it is the future of this world.
How? Let me explain it.
- You will be surrounded with smart devices
Everyday more and
more smart devices keep flooding in the market. Humans are now using
more smart gadgets than ever. And the number of these gadgets is
believed to increase in the near future.
So soon these
smart devices will be doing all the work for us. The home assistance
Alexa or Google Home have been huge successes and have taken over
much of home tasks. Similarly, the Samsung Smart refrigerator lets
you manage your groceries by giving you an inside view of your
refrigerator on your smartphone and you can see what groceries you
are out of and what do you need to buy.
So, it is being
expected that soon we will be completely surrounded by such smart
devices which does give a different shape to the future of humankind.
- Cloud computing will become the core of every application
In the modern
world, man needs to be connected with everything, everywhere. And
this can only be done through cloud computing. Cloud computing has
already become the hot topic in the field of technology and it is
rapidly growing. In the near future it will become the core point of
every computing, every programming and every application. So, to stay
connected with the world, you will have to be in the cloud. Internet
of Things is based on cloud computing, it doesn’t work without
that. So very soon IoT is going to evolve as the core of technology
and it is going to change the world.
- We will have better medical facilities
Internet of Things
is affecting every field, may it be science and technology,
agriculture, education or medicine. It is a part of every field. And
in every field, it has some really good impacts. It is also expected
to bring some good changes in healthcare and make it better.
It has already
made data collection and data analysis easier for doctors. It has
also reduced the work of nurses through automatic notifications of
the patient leaving the bed. With advanced technologies more smart
devices are being developed which make disease diagnosis and
treatment a lot easier and reduces the work of nurses. On some level,
this does raise the question of increases unemployment due to
machines replacing the humans, but that is another argument. As far
as the technology is concerned it is becoming smarter everyday and
has no plans of stopping anytime soon.
- This world is going to be smarter!
Well yes, from the
toothbrush in the morning to the bed that you sleep in the night,
everything is going to be smart. Everything will be connected to the
cloud. Your smart tooth brush will send a report to your dentist
about any dental issues that you might be developing. Your
refrigerator will give you a list of things that you need to buy,
your car will drive you to your office automatically. Everything is
going to be smart and this world is going to be smarter.
