What is this Internet of Things ?
Let's take a look at your pedometer program on your phone...
It detects your movements, analyzes the steps you take and reports to you during the day and at the end of the day. It even provides you with recommendations by making your weekly monthly analysis.
If we add a little more; You have a smart watch on your arm and a smart headset in your ear, and their communication with your phone and you is exactly the IoT.
I can give you an extreme example;
With the satellite we will rent, we can monitor the development of the products in the fields, determine the humidity status, temperature status, yield estimates, and disease conditions. This technology is being used now. There are companies that use it in Turkey. Now it can be done with satellite, not drone.
If we explain with a very simple example whether a technology is IoT;
The door of your refrigerator in your home was left open, and therefore after a certain period of time, it starts beeping and does not perform any other action.
Well, let's imagine that a notification is sent to your phone from the refrigerator…
Here, we can talk about IoT by communicating with another object (it has certain protocols) and informing the user. We can also have the refrigerator processed and closed without going to it ourselves…
It increases the quality of life and provides convenience in our lives…
If we look at its history;
The concept of the Internet of Things first emerged in 1991. Cambridge University in England in 1991 made an invention equivalent to the definition of the Internet of Things. This invention, which may seem simple today, was quite ambitious for 1991. 15 academicians came together and observed the inside of the coffee machine with the camera system. And this system was used for exactly 10 years. The coffee machine was able to transfer images to the computer three times in 60 seconds. The fact that the event was both online and in real time made history as the first example of the concept of the internet of things.
Some concepts used in IoT;
give big
Three Informatics (Aegean)
Fog Informatics (Fog)
Cloud Computing (Cloud)…
If we look at the economic side a little bit;
Worldwide IoT spending is expected to reach $1 trillion by 2022.
- By 2023, IoT spending in Asia/Pacific excluding Japan is expected to reach $398.6 billion.
- Experts predict that by 2025, people around the world will have up to 75 billion IoT-connected devices.
In addition to being ready for and using this technological change that will be in our lives in the future, it is necessary to develop them and use them in our work efficiency outside our home.
Societies that do not keep up with digital transformation will probably be viewed as tribal societies in the future.
Stay well…
