Technology And Technology : The Internet Of Things?

The debate between where to draw the line between allowing government surveillance and keeping society’s members privacy will never be completely clear. It is important to keep a part of an individual’s life private and once the Untied States voted the Patriot Act in privacy went from limited to microscopic. Widening the scope of government surveillance slowly but surely pushes privacy out of the

GPS, drones, spying, and nuclear war are all capabilities of the everyday items around us. These “normal” devices such as an iPhone or computer are all part of an enormous web infrastructure called the internet of things (IOT). The internet of things is a link between the online world and the physical world through connected devices which can achieve physical accomplishments such as taking a pulse. The Internet of things was said to have been discovered in 1999 during a presentation at Procter and Gamble. When Business moguls were trying to find a way to make the internet profitable, they manufactured the term internet of things. Ironically, IOT tracked its usage of term online through “Google Trends”. According to Google, since 2004 IOT was

The world is getting smarter and better and so are the devices. With the improved technology, we can check our mails on our watch; control our home temperature through our smartphone and much more. The term Internet of Things is referred to any object or device which connects to the Internet to automatically send and/or receive data [1].

“Internet of Things” (IoT) really excites me as it combines electronics, programming and web-design. I have completed several IoT projects, including “IntelliSentry”. I have also developed a smart environmental monitor, which sends data to the cloud to be analysed by an algorithm that I programmed. Prototyping IoT devices is challenging, but the satisfaction when all elements come together and the device works is tremendous!

Some of the largest tech behemoths have recently joined together to make the Internet of Things a closer reality in all of our homes, cars and lives. The All Seen Alliance is seeing companies such as Cisco, Panasonic and sharp pledging to make their pipelines of new appliances and devices compatible with a networking system so machines can start

The US National Intelligence Council included Internet of things technology to the list of the most six important technologies that will have a potential impact on US national power “Disruptive Civil Technologies”.

Internet of Things (IoT) are devices that can collect and share data with no human interactions. IoT are machines that connect to other machines. Examples of IoT’s are fitness trackers that report to a smart phone, smart vacuum cleaners that are self- propelled, and Apps for your smart phone that can adjust lighting, temperature or security features at your house when you are away.

As a result, when polled, 51 percent of Americans are concerned with the impact collecting personal information will have on vulnerable communities. Forty-nine percent are concerned about being able to have control of personal information, and 46 percent are concerned about companies using computer algorithms that may contain false inputs and that are kept secret to make critical decisions about their lives.

The government, that is responsible for protecting citizens, has the power to spy and monitor people. Sometimes, surveillances are useful for catching criminals. Oftentimes, over monitoring individuals may violates personal freedoms and sometimes the government over exceeds its boundaries to obtain personal information. There are four types of privacy-related activities that a federal, state, and local government can have control over. The first activity deals with collection of information of individual citizens. After the collection of this information, a government may store, manipulate, or use this data against someone. Third, this collected information may spread to other agencies. Finally, sharing personal information may disrupt someone’s daily activities and solitude.

Background. The idea of the Internet of Things began in the early 1990’s and is said to be brought up by Mark Weiser, a computer scientist from the University of Michigan (Mattern, 2010). Things that are not recognized as much as part of the Internet of Things, can be as simple as a barcode, an NFC tag, or a QR code which is classified as an RFID tag (Radio-Frequency Identification). Examples such as these are what is making the world around us a technological advancement. IP addresses are what the RFID tags are identified with, and since there are more technologies then there are

The world of computers is continuously shrinking at a rapid rate. Coincidentally, computing systems, now more than ever are finding themselves integrated into different aspects of society. From lightbulbs to coffee makers, integrated computing systems are creating a dynamic network of ubiquitous devices. “The internet of things” is the connection and intercommunication of such ubiquitous computing devices in the physical world through the internet. Devices in this network spontaneously retrieve and contribute information with one another to improve the quality of life for the user. Varying greatly from virtual reality, “the internet of things” is a passive augmentation of the human experience rather than a complete removal from it. Despite the seemingly non-intrusive and benign effects to its users, “the internet of things” has been met with immense criticism. Connected devices currently active in “the internet of things” have challenged society’s current view of privacy, have created the potential for a new source of dangerous electronic waste, and put people in physical harm. While the movement to ubiquitous computing through “the internet of things” presents the opportunity to advance society and improve the quality of life, ethical, safety, and environmental concerns should first be addressed before accepting implementation of this controversial system.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging M2M related technology that enables physical objects, or devices to connect to the Internet. Given such an arrangement consumers can communicate with the things and manage them remotely. With billions of devices connected to the Internet, huge amounts of data being generated, with the need for mobility and real-time processing this article presents the need to integrate one or more communication technologies and aims to evaluate the possibilities of

The Internet of Things is defined as the network of physical things, such as components, devices, machines, vehicles and so on, which objects can collect and exchange data with automatically communicating without human interaction [13]. These data are required variously (e.g. heat, sound, light, location, mechanics, and components) obtained in real time on the wire or wireless communication level by sensors, Auto-ID integration, and other electronic or mechatronic devices [14; 15]. By using the data, the industrial production can be improved by decreasing unscheduled machine downtime and energy costs and other benefits significantly [16]. Basic

The concept of the internet of things abbreviated as IoT was introduced as early as the late 90’s by Kevin Ashton, the Executive Director of Auto-ID Labs and a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Now, “the Internet of things is already a disruptive technology capable of determining fundamental changes that are happening in everyday life, and it is considered the fourth industrial revolution.” (Hucanu) The Internet of Things (IoT)

Internet of things (IoT) is rapidly increasing technology with day by day. IoT is the network of physical objects or things which is embedded with electronics components, software or languages like python, Microcontroller, PLC etc. sensors like temperature, humidity, smoke sensor and gas lekage or stepper motor, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange the data.
