In simple terms, it is a huge network connected by many networks. The internet helps with the dissemination of information changing traditional business models from selling products to selling content and services.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of things connected to each other through sensing equipment such as radio frequency identification. Therefore, every one of the devices we use perceive and predict our behavior through the Internet of Things.
For example: When you wake up in the morning, your room can sense that you are awake through the smart bracelet on your hand, automatically raising the temperature of the room and making a cup of coffee for you. Soon, cars will automatically report drivers breaking road laws, briefcases remind their owners of what they have forgotten, and so on.
Cloud computing realizes the portability of the user side of devices. In the future, work computers will only comprise of a monitor with basic computing capabilities. All complex calculations will be completed by the cloud so users will only need a display. Enterprises and organizations can gain valuable insights brought from the data collection and calculation completed by big data in the cloud.
The nature of the Internet of Things is to channel all electronic devices into a network which is currently being achieved by fusing a network formed by computers, smartphones, and tablets. Once your refrigerator, washing machine, oven, air conditioner, dehumidifier, lights, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles can access the Internet, there will be more big data, more insights, and more business opportunities, leading to a more convenient life.
Mobile phones are a person’s dearest possession. Nowadays, when a person goes out, they usually make sure to take their mobile phone, key, and wallet. They may go half a day before realizing they’ve lost their keys or wallets, but a mobile phone’s absence will be noticed in less than a minute. Mobile phones have become an indispensable medium for people to connect in this futuristic world. Apps are an important portal for human behavior giving phones the power to connect various applications and services. Without the internet, our mobile phones, and the many apps they contain, our current reality will cease to exist.
