Technology is quickly changing the way we interact with the world around us. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ability of physical objects to connect to the

This concept represents the behavioral side of the Internet of Things: that massive proliferation of connected devices, networks, systems and people that promises to help us avoid car accidents, know when our appliances are about to break down, and keep us healthy. For B-to-C companies, though, the sensor-heavy M2M applications might be less important than the device that has almost become a human appendage: our smartphone.

Today, computers are practically everywhere. The 21st century has experienced huge leaps in the advancement of computer technology in terms of both hardware and software. These advancements are a direct result of the computer revolution that began in 1975 when the first personal computer was launched. The first personal computer was the Altair 8800. Since then different companies have gone on to assemble different computers. The computer revolution went through other phases such as the network revolution with the rise of the global internet by ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) in the 1990s. This was followed by the smartphone revolution that began in 2007 when Apple Inc. launched the first iPhone. Now computer technology is taking a course towards different fields and spheres. This paper will explore the positive effects of computer technology during the 21st century and the direction of computing in the future.

From the beginning of time, humans have been innovating. Most famously the wheel which still is a prevalent creation 5500 years later. Throughout history, every era has seemed to surpass the last. In the early 1970’s the first cell phone call was made. After years of countless variations finally found a version that would stick with the iPhone. The smartphone has captivated society for the last decade. “In year one the iPhone had 3.7 million users, 8 years later that number was 231.5 million”. ( ) The popularity of these devices is astounding and now is a part of almost all aspects of people's lives. Smartphones give humans the ability to accomplish virtually anything anywhere. The possibilities of what one can do with these devices are limitless. Overall,

Although Wortmann and Fluchter (2015) highlights that this term becomes more popular than the past but there is no specific definition for it. In fact, Internet of Things changes from business-driven to life-oriented (Kim, 2011). It combines physical and digital components to create a new service to people. With Internet of Things, additional IT-based digital services is added to those primary physical functions, which not only reach the local basis but also to a global level ( Wortmann & Fluchter, 2015). Taking shopping as an example for the changes to people by IoT. It turns the shopping experiences from physical stores to online one. Products and services can be searched and delivered to customers in a minute. It also acts as a platform for people to explore new goods as well as seeking discounts. From this, Internet of Things not only provides a range of opportunities to business, but also enhances people’s living quality with an innovative and convenient

Mobile computing is technology that has enabled users to obtain internet services while being in a state of constant motion. Conventionally, internet could only be accessed only via Ethernet cable and users had to sit on one place in order to access internet. In this way, there existed no concept of taking work to a trip or connecting to world anytime. With the invention of mobile computing, users can take their work in their hands. One can now get internet service anywhere needed.

The internet of things is defined as the development of the internet where every object used in daily activities has a connection to the internet allowing these things to either send or even receive data. These objects would be equipped with sensors that gauge the surrounding parameters including brightness or distance and transmit this data to the internet for use in various applications. For instance, eCLOUD is a form of artwork that was done by Aaron Koblin, Nik Goods and Nik Hafermaas and it is located in the San Jose Airport. It is made from various Polycarbonate tiles that ranges from transparent and the opaque states. The states are controlled by weather in various National ocean and atmospheric locations around the globe. Data collected is then used to enhance simulations that represent the weather in various locations by ensuring that these tiles are turned on and off in a given pattern. These simulations are seen within the available cloud sculpture and on a dynamic display that has been placed in the airport’s terminal. The internet of things has primarily made it into various design circles in which the main concern is the users and the application areas more than the underlying technical solutions. Everything surrounding people will function like the media and mediators with a blurred difference between the tangible or physical materials. The following essay will dwell more on the new pervasive concept of materiality that builds on the overall

The field is of developing significance because of the expanding dependence of PC frameworks in most societies. Computer frameworks now incorporate a wide assortment of "keen" gadgets, including cell phones, TVs and little gadgets as a major aspect of the Internet of Things – and systems incorporate the Internet and private information systems, as well as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and different remote system.

How many times do you check your phone or PDA everyday? Every hour? Half hour? Ten minutes? Most people can’t even go one whole day without their communications devices at the ready. Have you ever stopped and wondered how we even got to this point in the first place? The answer is growing interactive technology within our communications devices. From gaming, to movies, to buying online products, virtually anything to do with the consumer can be done from a smart phone or PDA device now. The history and workings of interactive technology has changed communications devices by becoming more widely used, more common with

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of the physical objects containing embedded systems which connects and communicate with each other internally or externally through sensors. According to David Ahrens, it is the “network of interconnected sensor-equipped electronic devices that collect data, communicate with each other, and can be monitored or controlled remotely over the Internet” (Ahrens, 2014). The main goal of its development is to connect the physical world and the environment to the Internet or wireless networks which would allow making objects, machines and work environments interactive without any human intervention which would result in improved efficiency and economic benefits. The word “Things” in IOT includes biochip transponders, electric clams, automobiles, electronic appliances etc. These devices collect the data individually with the existing technology and then share the data autonomously between each other through the internet protocol. It includes different technology infrastructure, devices and services such as the cloud, computing, data analytics and mobile communications. It is more about the disruptive business models than technology. It is a trend through which the physical world is becoming a big information system through the embedded system used in the devices over the wireless networks. The IoT is without a doubt an increasing trend that takes the advancement of interconnectivity to a level which was once just

Smart connectivity with existing networks and context-aware computation using network resources is an indispensable part of IoT. With the growing presence of WiFi and 4G-LTE wireless Inter-net access, the evolution towards ubiquitous information and communication networks is already evident. However, for the Internet of Things vision to successfully emerge, the computing paradigm will need to go

Mobile computing is one of them in the several new innovations that has been made in information technology over past decade. Communication from homes, office, cars and hand-held computers is the current trend of distributed mobile computing. Mobile computing is a human- computer interaction by which a

Devices which are a part of ioT are expected to become active participants in business, information and social processes where they can

In olden days, communication is not only difficult but also costly. We are dependent on letters and emails rather than phone calls. However, today technology is advanced to such an extent that cost of communication is reducing and use of mobile phones and smart devices is skyrocketing. It is not an exaggeration that our life today is a slave to technology. Internet of things has made its space in almost all areas today such as education, business, personal life, government

Our daily lives have been changed by technological revolution beyond our recognition over the last few decades in almost every sphere of life whether it be work, play or sleep. It seems like a magical world of smart devices such as smart phones and smart electronics which has been developed into state of the art smart homes, home automation and smart grid. With the further advancement in technology, it is bound to be ineluctable aspect of our lives.
