THE INTERNET OF THINGS
How the Next Evolution of the Internet Is Changing
Everything :
The Internet of Things (IoT), sometimes referred to as the Internet of Objects,
will change everything—including ourselves. 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.

IOT Today :
Looking to the future, It predicts there will be 25 billion devices connected to the
Internet by 2015 and 50 billion by 2020. The numbers presented are based on what
is known to be true today. For example, we know that approximately 2 billion people
use the Internet today. Using this figure, the number of connected devices per
person jumps to 6.25 in 2010, instead of 1.84. Of course, we know nothing remains
static, especially when it comes to the Internet. Initiatives and advances, such as
Cisco’s Planetary Skin, HP’s central nervous system for the earth (CeNSE), and
smart dust, have the potential to add
millions—even billions—of sensors To the Internet.
As cows, water pipes, people, and even shoes,
trees, and animals become connected to IoT,
the world has the potential to become a better
place.

IoT as a Network of Networks:
Currently, IoT is made up of a loose collection of disparate, purpose-built networks.
Today’s cars, for example, have multiple networks to control engine function, safety
features, communications systems, and so on. Commercial and residential buildings
also have various control systems for heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC)
telephone service; security; and lighting. As IoT evolves, these networks, and many
others, will be connected with added security, analytics, and management capabilities.
This will allow IoT to become even more
powerful in what it can help people achieve.
Interestingly, this situation mirrors what
the technology industry experienced in the
early days of Networking.

Challenges and Barriers to IoT :
Several barriers, however, have the potential to slow the development of IoT. The
three largest are the deployment of IPv6, power for sensors, and agreement on
standards. Deployment of IPv6. The world ran out of IPv4 addresses in February
2010. In addition, IPv6 makes the management of networks easier due to auto
configuration capabilities and offers improved security features. Sensor energy for IoT
to reach its full potential, sensors will need to be self-sustaining. Imagine changing
batteries in billions of devices deployed across the planet and even into space.
Obviously, this isn’t possible. What’s needed is a way for sensors to generate
electricity from environmental elements such as vibrations, light, and airflow.
“This development [the nanogenerator] represents
a milestone toward producing portable electronics
that can be powered by body movements
without the use of batteries or electrical outlets.
Our nanogenerators are poised to change lives
in the future. Their potential is only limited by
one's imagination.”

Next steps :
Next Steps As often happens, history is repeating itself. IoT is at a stage where
disparate networks and a multitude of sensors must come together and interoperate
under a common set of standards. This effort will require businesses, governments,
standards organizations, and academia to work together toward a common goal.
Next, for IoT to gain acceptance among the general populace, service providers and
others must deliver applications that bring tangible
value to peoples’ lives. IoT must not represent the
advancement of technology for technology’s sake;
the industry needs to demonstrate value in human
terms. In conclusion, IoT represents the next evolution
of the Internet. Given that humans advance and evolve
by turning data into information, knowledge, and
wisdom, IoT has the potential to change the world as
we know it today—for the better. How quickly we get
there is up to us.

I choose this topic "The “Internet of Things” (IoT) because it likely to be one of the most
important technological advances of this century. The emergence of Cloud computing,
meanwhile, has created the application and device management backbone needed to
scale to and support billions of connected objects.
In the next 5 years we will see a new level of connected devices and individual
experiences. These devices will connect to the physical environment by connecting,
interacting and managing with the exiting change.
If I offered this topic I work on natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP
address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network.
