Internet of Things: A Birds Eye View
Notion of Internet of Things
Internet of things (IoT) is a fast growing, user friendly technology which allows everything to be connected together and also allows effective communication between the connected “things”. These
“things” can include any object ranging from a small pen to a big car.
This technology has expanded to such an extent that even living organisms are considered as the part of Internet of things. In IoT, intelligent devices such as
Passive RFID Tag [Los Alamos], Smart Dust
[Kristofer S. J. Pister, Joe Kahn, and Bernhard
Boser] etc., are connected together in a large network with unique accessibility.
IoT exchanges data in a fraction of second and also it consumes less power. It makes the human life more comfortable and it helps to build a smarter world.
Evolution of Internet of Things
Before 1990’s communication happened between computers which was called as electronic data transfer. These computers formed a network and it was further classified as Local area network (LAN),
Metropolitan area network (MAN) and
Wide area network (WAN). This WAN was called as Internet where, several computers around the world were able to communicate each other. Subsequently
further improvements in networks allowed external peripheral devices to be connected to internet. In present we are giving instruction to devices instead IoT will make the devices to think and act according to our needs.
[Kevin Ashton] the co-founder of
Auto-ID Center at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology coined the term
IoT in 1999, after him [Ashton] discussed about IoT in RFIDJournal.com in 2009.
