The Internet of Things (IoT) - "virtual representation of uniquely tagged objects that allows for a transfer of data over a network without the need for human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction."
The future of the Internet is here. Imagine a world where everything is linked to your smart device or computer. The possibilities are endless. You could control your home at work, or even on holiday. Your fridge would be able to order groceries for you, even tell your oven how to bake you cake. Though most of these innovations are currently works-in-progress, it is a concept that will definitely be the norm in the foreseeable future.
The Internet of Things has its roots in Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) Tags, which were mostly used in retail and in warehouses. A product would be tracked from manufacturing to check out. In the future, it would probably tell you who bought the product, allowing marketers to track the purchasing behaviours of consumers
Cool IoT innovations that I can't wait for:
Bluetooth Trackers
Away-from-home Pet Interaction
Smart Refrigerators that tell your oven how to cook
It is evident that IoT will end up being the new normal, enriching the quality of life itself. However, it is not without faults. With so much more personal information being stored in the Internet cloud, it makes it easier for our privacy to be breached. It will also cause us to become overly-dependant on technology. Like every Internet innovation, it is a double-edged sword, however I am looking forward to the future of the Internet of Things.
