This may seem like a bold statement, but consider the impact the Internet already has had on education, communication, business, science, government, and humanity. Clearly, the Internet is one of the most important and powerful creations in all of human history. Now consider that IoT represents the next evolution of the Internet, taking a huge leap in its ability to gather, analyze, and distribute data that we can turn into information, knowledge, and, ultimately, wisdom. In this context, IoT becomes immensely important. Lesson 1: Evolution of Internet of Things There have been visions of smart, communicating objects even before the global computer network was launched forty-five years ago. As the Internet has grown to link all signs of intelligence (i.e., software) around the world, a number of other terms associated with the idea and practice of connecting everything to everything have made their appearance, including machine-to-machine (M2M), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), context-aware computing, wearables, ubiquitous computing, and the Web of Things. Let’s Explore the History of Internet of Things!  Lesson 2: Demystifying Internet of Things What is the Internet of Things? The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human- to-computer interaction.  Internet of Things The Internet of Things, or "IoT" The Internet of Things Connecting things to the internet for short, is about extending the means taking all the things yields many amazing benefits. power of the internet beyond We’ve all seen these benefits in the world and computers and smartphones with our smartphones, laptops, connecting them to the to a whole range of other and tablets, but this is true for things, processes, and internet. everything else too. And yes, I do environments. mean everything.  Why IoT Matters? When something is connected to the internet, that means that it can send information or receive information, or both. This ability to send and/or receive information makes things smart, and smarter is better. Let’s use smartphones again as an example. You can listen to any song in the world, but not because your phone has every song stored on it. It’s because every song in the world is stored somewhere else (that place is known as “the cloud”), and your phone can request a song, and receive information to stream it. To be smart, a thing doesn’t need to have super storage or a supercomputer inside of it. All a thing has to do is connect to super storage or to a supercomputer. Being connected is awesome. In the Internet of Things, all the things can be put into three categories: Sensors that collect information and then send it. Computers that receive information and then act on it. Things that do both. And all three of these have enormous benefits that feed on each other. Collecting and Sending Information This means sensors. Sensors can measure temperature, motion, moisture, air quality, light, and almost anything else you can think of. Sensors, when paired with an internet connection, allow us to collect information from the environment which, in turn, helps make better decisions. On a farm, automatically getting information about soil moisture can tell farmers exactly when crops need to be watered. Instead of watering too much or too little (either of which can lead to bad outcomes), the farmer can ensure that crops get exactly the right amount of water. (Soil moisture sensor) Just as our senses allow us to collect information, sensors allow machines to make sense of their environments. Receiving and Acting on Information We’re all very familiar with machines acting on input information. A printer receives a document and then prints it. A garage door receives a wireless signal and the door opens. It’s commonplace to remotely command a machine to act. So what? The real power of IoT arises when things can both collect information act on it. Doing Both The sensors collect information about soil moisture. Now, the farmer could activate the irrigation system, or turn it off as appropriate. With IoT- enabled systems, you don’t actually need the farmer for that process. Instead, the irrigation system can automatically act as needed, based on how much moisture is detected. You can take it a step further too. If the irrigation system receives information about the weather from its internet connection, it can also know when it’s going to rain and decide not to water the crops when they’ll be watered by the rain anyways. And it doesn’t stop there! All this information about the soil moisture, how much the irrigation system is watering the crops, and how well the crops actually grow can be collected and sent to supercomputers in the cloud that run algorithms to that analyze all this information, leading to models that could be used to predict future conditions and prevent losses. Pretty much any physical object can be transformed into an IoT device if it can be connected to the internet to be controlled or communicate information. A lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device, as is a motion sensor or a smart thermostat in your office or a connected streetlight. An IoT device could be as fluffy as a child's toy or as serious as a driverless truck. Some larger objects may themselves be filled with many smaller IoT components, such as a jet engine that's now filled with thousands of sensors collecting and transmitting data back to make sure it is operating efficiently. At an even bigger scale, smart cities projects are filling entire regions with sensors to help us understand and control the environment. Your Takeaway Definition of IoT 01 What is IoT?: Why does IoT matter?: The Internet of Things, or IoT, is about IoT provides businesses and people better extending the power of internet insight into and control over objects and connectivity beyond computers to a environments that are currently beyond whole range of other things, the reach of the internet. By doing so, IoT processes, and environments. Those helps businesses and people to be more connected, smarter, things are used connected to the world around them and to gather information, send to do more meaningful, higher-level work. information, or both.  While Task: (10 points) Write a short paragraph to share your insights and understanding about Internet of Things or IoT (Minimum of 5 sentences).  NEXT MEETING: Continuation discussion of Module 1 (Lesson 3) First Quiz (Coverage from Lessons 1-3) Discuss the Prelim Project  Lesson 3: Application of IoT in Society Application of IoT in Society The impact of technology on business is prominent. With a major shift in the technological world, businesses need to adapt to trending technologies to stay ahead. It has bridged the gap between digital and physical realities. Smart Home Smart home technology, also often referred to as home automation or domotics (from the Latin "domus" meaning home), provides homeowners security, comfort, convenience and energy efficiency by allowing them to control smart devices, often by a smart home app on their smartphone or other networked device. A part of the internet of things (IoT), smart home systems and devices often operate together, sharing consumer usage data among themselves and automating actions based on the homeowners' preferences. Application of IoT in Society The impact of technology on business is prominent. With a major shift in the technological world, businesses need to adapt to trending technologies to stay ahead. It has bridged the gap between digital and physical realities. Wearable Technology Wearable technology, also known as "wearables", is a category of electronic devices that can be worn as accessories, embedded in clothing, implanted in the user's body, or even tattooed on the skin. The devices are hands-free gadgets with practical uses, powered by microprocessors and enhanced with the ability to send and receive data via the Internet. Smarter cities More than half of the world's population now lives in cities—up from just 34% in the 1960s. By mid-century that figure could reach 66% according to the United NationsLinks to an external site.. Cities are major contributors to climate change, and some are already feeling its impact through rising sea levels and increasingly severe weather events. But cities are also great incubators for IoT-based systems that make urban life more attractive, such as fast, convenient transportation systems, safe street lighting and energy-efficient buildings. In Barcelona, a citywide WiFi and information network linked to sensors, software and a data analytics platform has enabled the city to provide smart water technology, automated street lighting, remote-controlled irrigation for parks and fountains, “on- demand” waste pickups, digital bus routes and smart parking meters. These IoT- enabled urban services have dramatically reduced traffic jams and pollution, as well as water, light and energy usage. Many other cities are also putting the Internet of Things to work. Chicago is testing a city-wide network of sensors called the “Array of Things”Links to an external site.. The sensors serve as a sort of fitness tracker for the city, collecting data on air quality, climate, traffic and other metrics. The information is sent to an open data portal where user groups can consume it for a range of applications. Las Vegas is using the Internet of Things to improve traffic flow, while in South Korea, the entire smart city of SongdoLinks to an external site. is built around the Internet of Things. Songdo’s networks are designed to ensure its buildings, transportation system and infrastructure are as efficient as possible Smart Farming Smart Farming is a farming management concept using modern technology to increase the quantity and quality of agricultural products. Farmers in the 21st century have access to GPS, soil scanning, data management, and Internet of Things technologies. By precisely measuring variations within a field and adapting the strategy accordingly, farmers can greatly increase the effectiveness of pesticides and fertilizers, and use them more selectively. Similarly, using Smart Farming techniques, farmers can better monitor the needs of individual animals and adjust their nutrition correspondingly, thereby preventing disease and enhancing herd health. Autonomous Car An autonomous car is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating without human involvement. A human passenger is not required to take control of the vehicle at any time, nor is a human passenger required to be present in the vehicle at all. An autonomous car can go anywhere a traditional car goes and do everything that an experienced human driver does. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) currently defines 6 levels of driving automationLinks to an external site. ranging from Level 0 (fully manual) to Level 5 (fully autonomous). These levels have been adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation. THANK YOU!
