Internet Of Thing (IOT)

1. Why IoT is important

1.1. IOT helps people live and work smarter, as well as gain complete control over their lives. In addition to offering smart devices to automate homes, IoT is essential to business.

2. Pros and Cons

2.1. Pros

2.1.1. ability to access information from anywhere at any time on any device

2.1.2. improved communication between connected electronic devices;

2.1.3. transferring data packets over a connected network saving time and money

2.1.4. automating tasks helping to improve the quality of a business's services and reducing the need for human intervention.

2.2. Cos

2.2.1. As the number of connected devices increases and more information is shared between devices, the potential that a hacker could steal confidential information also increases.

2.2.2. If there's a bug in the system, it's likely that every connected device will become corrupted.

2.2.3. Since there's no international standard of compatibility for IoT, it's difficult for devices from different manufacturers to communicate with each other.

3. IoT in your home

3.1. IoT-enabled coffee maker

3.2. IoT-enabled alarm clock

4. WHAT

4.1. The Internet of Things refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data.

5.2. smart cities projects are filling entire regions with sensors

5.3. Google and Levi's unveil internet-connected jacket

6. How IoT works

6.1. An IoT ecosystem consists of web-enabled smart devices that use embedded systems, such as processors, sensors and communication hardware, to collect, send and act on data they acquire from their environments.

7. IoT in transport

7.1. the diagnostic bus collects data

7.2. the sensor that triggered the check engine
