INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)

The Internet of things (IoT) describes the network of physical objects or “things” that are embedded with sensors, software, electronics, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet.WhatsApp Image 2021-05-07 at 11.26.01

THE FLAVOUR OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS

The alarm rings. As you open your eyes blearily, you see that it's five minutes later than your usual wake-up time. The clock has checked the train times online, and your train must be delayed, so it lets you sleep in a little longer.

In your kitchen, a blinking light reminds you it's time to take your tablets. If you forget, the medicine bottle cap goes online and emails your doctor to let her know.

On your way out of the house, you catch a glow in the corner of your eye. Your umbrella handle is lit up, which means that it has checked the BBC weather reports and predicts rain. You sigh and pick it up.

THE STRUCTURE OF IOT

The IoT can be viewed as a gigantic network consisting of networks of devices and computers connected through a series of intermediate technologies where numerous technologies like wireless connections may act as enablers of this connectivity.

What does it mean to "connect an object to the Internet"? "sensors" and "actuators"

AN EQUATION FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS :

Physical Object + Controller, Sensors, and Actuators +Internet = Internet of Things(IoT)

ENCHANTED OBJECTS

. The best known of Arthur C. Clarke's "three laws of prediction" states "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".

• Enchanted objects are everyday things that talk to us or each other, and in some ways make our lives better, delight us, and give an emotional connection.

Enchanted Objects are ordinary things, made extraordinary.

• Enchanted Objects are ordinary things, augmented, connected.

ACCORDING TO DAVID ROSE :

"Enchanted objects start as ordinary things- a pen, a shoe, a table, a wallet, a light bulb, etc., The ordinary things are then augmented and enhanced through the use of emerging technologies such as sensors, actuators, wireless connection, and embedded processing - so that it becomes extraordinary".

Greetings to all forum participants!

I would like to share my opinion on the topic of the Internet of Things (IoT). In my opinion, this is one of the most promising areas of technology development today. IoT is already changing our world, making it smarter, more convenient and safer.

Why do I think IoT is such a promising topic?

Huge potential. IoT can be used in almost all areas of life: from smart homes and industrial enterprises to medicine and agriculture.
Fast development. IoT technologies are constantly improving, becoming more accessible and functional.
New opportunities. IoT opens up new business opportunities for us, optimizing processes and improving the quality of life.
If you need help with IoT:

I recommend you contact the company Cogniteq. Cogniteq is a leading developer of IoT solutions with many years of experience. The company offers a wide range of services for consulting, development and implementation of IoT solutions.

I am confident that IoT is the future that has already arrived. If you want to take advantage of this technology, I recommend you turn to Cogniteq.
