Internet of Thing(IoT) is one of the latest jargon that is believe to become next coming boom to the world. Wikipedia said the The
Internet of Things (IoT) is the interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices within the existing
Internet infrastructure. Even the Gartner group has identified the next coming technology expected to be exploded is the Internet of Thing (IoT).
What makes this IoT?
If you know about Raspberry Pi, Arduino and IntelGalileo, than you will have a beginning of bright picture of what is the IoT all about....
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept that describes a
future where everyday physical objects will be connected to the Internet
and be able to identify themselves to other devices. The term is
closely identified with RFID as the method of communication, although it
also may include other sensor technologies, wireless technologies or QR
codes.
The Internet of Things is a difficult
concept to define precisely. In fact, there are many different groups
that have defined the term, although its initial use has been attributed
to Kevin Ashton, an expert on digital innovation. Each definition
shares the idea that the first version of the Internet was about data
created by people, while the next version is about data created by
things. In 1999, Ashton said it best in this quote from an article in
the RFID Journal:
"If we had computers that knew everything there was to know about
things - using data they gathered without any help from us - we would be
able to track and count everything, and greatly reduce waste, loss and
cost. We would know when things needed replacing, repairing or
recalling, and whether they were fresh or past their best".
Most of us think about being connected in terms of computers, tablets
and smartphones. IoT describes a world where just about anything can be
connected and communicate in an intelligent fashion. In other words,
with the Internet of Things, the physical world is becoming one big
information system.
