Internet of Things ( IoT )

Hello dear, I hope you are well in your daily work, then I will talk a little about the Internet of things, this technology has existed since 1999 and the first device to connect wirelessly was a toaster. well below I give you more detail about the technology ( IoT )

The Internet of Things concept was proposed by Kevin Ashton in the MIT Auto-ID Center in 1999, where research was carried out in the field of radio frequency identification (RFID) and sensor technologies.

For example, if books, thermostats, refrigerators, parcels, lamps, first-aid kits, automotive parts, among others were connected to the Internet and equipped with identification devices, there would not exist, in theory, out-of-stock items or expired medicines; we would know exactly the location, how they are consumed in the world; the loss would be a thing of the past and we would know what is on or off at all times.

The Internet of Things should code 50 to 100 000 million objects and follow the movement of these. It is estimated that every human being is surrounded by at least 1,000 to 5,000 objects. According to the Gartner company, in 2020 there will be approximately 26 billion devices in the world with a system for connecting to the Internet. Abi Research, on the other hand, assures that for the same year there will be 30 billion wireless devices connected to the Internet. With the next generation of Internet applications (IPv6 protocol) all objects could be identified, something that could not be done with IPv4. This system would be able to instantly identify by means of a code any type of object.

The US company Cisco, which is behind the Internet of Things initiative, has created a dynamic "connection meter" that allows it to estimate the number of "things" connected from July 2013 to 2020. The concept that devices they connect to the network through low power radio signals is the most active field of study of the Internet of things. This fact explains why signals of this type do not need Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. However, different alternatives that need less energy and are cheaper are being researched under the name of "Cheap Networks" .![IoT.png]

Currently, the term Internet of Things is used with a denotation of advanced connection of devices, systems and services that goes beyond the traditional M2M (machine to machine) and covers a wide variety of protocols, domains and applications.19 The service Alcatel-Lucent's touchatag and the Violet Mirror gadget can provide a pragmatic guidance approach to consumers of the Internet of Things, whereby anyone can link real-world elements to the online world using RFID tags (and QR codes in the case of touchatag).

Here I give you a video so that you know a little more about the internet of things, it was made by
