Study Notes

Internet of Things (IOT)

IoT allows people to automate and control everything remotely, view real-time data seamlessly, and integrate sensors, software, and networking devices
Sensors are fitted everywhere across devices, collecting real-time data consistently
Types of IoT sensors include:
- Acceleration/Tilt
- Ambient Light/Machine vision/Optical
- Leaks/Levels
- Vibration
- Humidity/Moisture/Water
- Electric
- Position/Proximity
- Motion/Velocity/Displacement
- Magnetic
- Chemical/Gas
- Temperature
- RFID/NFC
- Acoustic/Sound
- Force
- Ultrasounds/Radio
- Flow

History of IoT

1990: John Romkey creates the first IoT device, a toaster controlled with a computer
1999: Kevin Ashton coins the term "internet of things"
2000: LG introduces the first connected refrigerator
2008: The world's first IoT conference is held in Zurich, Switzerland
2010: Tony Fadell founds Nest, maker of the smart thermostat
2013: Oxford Dictionary adds the term "internet of things"
2014: Amazon introduces the Echo speaker and Alexa voice assistant
2016: Mirai botnet infects over 600,000 IoT devices with malware
2020: The number of internet-connected devices exceeds 20 billion

How IoT Works

Storage devices collect data for future use
Remote devices like smartphones control IoT
The internet provides a platform for connectivity
Routers or gateways allow devices to connect via WiFi
Thousands of devices are connected to the internet and/or each other

Examples of IoT

Smart Homes: thermostats, lighting systems, appliances, and security systems that can be controlled remotely or automatically
Wearables: fitness trackers, smartwatches, and other devices that monitor health and activity levels
Connected Cars: vehicles with features like self-parking, remote diagnostics, and real-time traffic updates
Industrial IoT: sensors in machines and equipment that monitor performance and predict maintenance needs
Smart Cities: traffic management systems, environmental monitoring, and connected infrastructure that improve efficiency and quality of life

Advantages and Disadvantages of IoT

Advantages:
- Ability to access information from anywhere at any time on any device
- Improved communication between connected devices
- Automating tasks, improving quality of service, and reducing human intervention
Disadvantages:
- Increased risk of confidential information theft
- Difficulty in managing and collecting data from numerous devices
- Lack of international standard for IoT device compatibility
- Risk of system corruption and bug propagation

2024 IoT Trends

IoT powered by 5G technology for ultra-fast data transfer and real-time processing
