IOT IN OUR LIFE
As we all know that IOT has made a huge impact in our daily life , i would like to discuss some about them here
Impact of IOT
firstly , IOT has a dramatic improvement in business fields some as
inventory tracking and management , data sharing , remote work
skilled workers and productivity efficiency.
secondly , SMART HOMES which we are using in our life now , smart homes
like google assistant controlling light and fans in our home and
even it controls the cctv cameras , whereas alexa can let the
delivery agent in the house , the assistance can also clean the
for us like floor cleaning bots , which made our life a very lazy than any other but these becomes very useful for us.
thirdly , wearables , like samsung smart watches , Mi , and many companies create wearables which would track our foot steps and calculates “how much calories” that we have burnt, how much distance have we walked and so on ,
which was a boom of our life and makes a life beautiful and easy.
Fourthly , IOT in industries Fueled by greater access to cheap hardware, IoT is used throughout industry product lifecycles with notable success in logistics and fleet management by enabling cost effective GPS tracking and automated loading/unloading.
Furthermore, it has had a major impact on the operational and support side of industry, best exemplified by Rolls Royce.
IoT technology has trickled out of the production line and into real time
operational support as sensors record telemetry data about the operation of their engines while in flight to analyse data and detect any issues
within an individual engine so it can be repaired in time safely.
CHALLENGES WITH IoT
Security — While the explosion in connected devices has brought seemingly limitless opportunities, progress remains tempered by security challenges in both the enterprise and consumer space. New research shows that the growing number of devices because of the IoT will see the global spend on cyber security technology surpass $1.8 billion by 2020.
High profile hacks and breaches may provide intermittent wake up calls, but the reality is that security remains an afterthought in much of the design of applications exacerbated by the small size of most embedded devices.
Designed for low power consumption with limited connectivity, their often low cost and disposable nature remains a barrier to the incorporation of encryption and other more robust security measures.
Not surprisingly, establishing a standardised security protocol to address the scope and diversity of the devices has become the Holy Grail as the IoT market matures. Solutions that can secure both the device and network while avoiding the kind of draconian interventions that become a barrier to engagement and creativity is a central challenge.
CONCLUSION
Society is on the cusp of experiencing a proliferation of sensors which will be seamlessly incorporated into all aspects of everyone’s lives,
working cognitively while embedded in the mattresses people sleep on or in their car steering wheel to continually monitor people’s physical state and report the facts — if individuals want it that way, of course.
