I O T Brief History To Present
IoT, or the Internet of Things, refers to the billions of physical devices connected to the Internet at any given time. The history of IoT began as early as the 1980s, when individuals had limited access to technology. Security concerns have arisen as more and more devices connect to the Internet; however, IoT has many positives. Today, you'll find at least one IoT device if there is a connection to the Internet: from home security cameras to smart TVs and even cars. Many businesses are looking into how they can use IoT to their benefit. People will continue to look into the future impact of IoT while also exploring new ways in which they can implement this emerging technology.
IoT Security Concerns
Security concerns are one of the significant issues facing IoT developers and users as billions of devices connect. With so many devices connecting, it's not out of the realm of possibility that someone could compromise the security systems protecting an IoT device.
In the wake of recent security breaches and hacks, developers are releasing two-factor authentication devices requiring a password or pin as a robust security solution to manage access. Additionally, communication data between devices is now encrypted both at rest and when transmitted using standard cryptographic algorithms, limiting data sniffing by potential hackers.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly evolving, with new technologies and trends being introduced to the market every day. Security is a top priority for those using connected devices—whether they're part of private or public networks.
How Is IoT Used Around the World
With the nearly ubiquitous presence of the Internet, there are countless numbers of Internet-connected devices. Some examples of these devices include cars, home appliances, and voice-assistant apps, but the Internet of Things (IoT) is far more expansive than just these examples.
With the Internet of Things (IoT), entire ecosystems control heat and cooling systems, lighting, and other home or business functions. Technology frees up time for people to do other things. Many IoT-enabled devices are app-enabled, so you never have to wonder if you left the oven on or need to turn on your security system. You can perform those functions anywhere via your smartphone. Industries such as healthcare, energy and utilities, retail, manufacturing, and consumer goods use IoT to monitor various tasks and operations.
Forecasts for the Future of the Internet of Things
Businesses and consumers are leading the way as the Internet of Things grows each year. Smart home devices, such as security cameras and thermostats, continue to become more popular among consumers.
IoT trends for the future:
- Technology costs have been reduced, making it easier for businesses to implement new systems.
- A greater range with enhanced connectivity.
- Increased IoT adoption will lead to a proliferation of devices that fill many niche markets.
- It is expected that the increased use of apps will provide greater functionality for consumers to control and interact with the Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to become a significant industry, one that is worth watching in the coming years.
A current trend in the Fashion Industry is smart clothing, which incorporates a range of devices for niche markets, like wearable body sensors for pregnant women that track baby heartbeats and positions.
Health care. From mobile applications that track personal fitness and wellness to wearable devices that monitor glucose and deliver insulin, many areas within health care improve patient outcomes and make data more accessible for patients and physicians. Other interesting developments to watch include ingestible sensors, asthma monitors, and connected inhalers.
The auto industry is one of many industries starting to use Internet of Things sensors and devices to improve fleet management.
Likewise, new cars are being built with more sensors, and mobile devices are often used to access diagnostic tools. Autonomous vehicles rely on IoT for function and safety.
Precision agriculture, made possible by the Internet of Things, is an emerging trend. Equipped with sensors and smart technology, farmers are finding new ways to optimize their crops.
Similarly, drones and other sensors are allowing farmers to monitor their livestock and crops from anywhere, collect crucial data for decision-making purposes, and find ways to optimize production while minimizing cost.
Companies are creating new and innovative technology to connect everyday objects, from smartphones to home appliances. The future of the Internet of Things is wide open and sure to include various devices tailored to nearly any need.
