Off and on, you may have heard or read about Internet of Things (IoT). In the coming years, it is supposed to be a new phenomenon (it actually already is) that will make everything much easier and convenient for everyone. But what does it mean? What exactly is it, and how would it help people with disabilities?

Introduction

3

Kevin Ashton, cofounder and executive director of the Auto-ID Centre at MIT, first mentioned the Internet of Things in a presentation he made to Procter & Gamble in 1999.

Who coined the term?

4

It’s the idea that people can communicate with the objects and physical things around them. These things can also communicate with each other and then send people information on their smartphones.

In the simplest of terms, it means that you, as a person, control everything around you (yes, everything!) through the internet. What that also means is that you don’t have to physically access an object to make it do something.

its very basic level, IoT refers to the connection of everyday objects to the Internet and to one another, with the goal being to provide users with smarter, more efficient experiences.

What is the Internet of Things?

5

A “thing” can be an everyday object you find in your home or office (like a door, light, or window), it can be an appliance or machine (like a coffee pot, washing machine, or car), or it can even refer to a person or pet.

When you put a sensor on any of these “things” and are able to communicate with it and get information, it becomes a “smart” thing.

What does ‘things’ refer to?

6

I’ll try not to get too technical here. First, there’s the underlying technology, the various wireless radios that allow these devices to connect to the Internet and to each other. These include more familiar standards like Wi-Fi, low-energy Bluetooth, NFC and RFID, and some that you’ve probably haven’t heard of, like ZigBee, Z-Wave and 6LoWPAN (have your eyes glazed over yet?).

With sensors. Sensors can receive information, send information, and trigger actions to take place. If you place a sensor somewhere around your house or attach it to a physical object or thing, it can send information to your phone, or to any other object or thing.

How does the internet of things work?

7

So, if you attach a sensor to your kid’s backpack, it can send you a push notification or text when little Timmy gets home from school.

Or if you plug your living room lamp in to a “smart” power outlet, it can tell you if it’s on while you’re at work, and you can tell it to turn off.

And if you attach a sensor to your front door, you can press a button and tell it to lock or unlock–wherever you are.

How it’s being used today, and how does this actually make things easier for me?

8

At this point, the easier question might be who isn’t working on an IoT product. Big names like Samsung, LG, Apple, Google, Lowe’s and Philips are all working on connected devices, as are many smaller companies and start-ups. Research group Gartner predicts that 4.9 billion connected devices will be in use this year, and the number will reach 25 billion by 2020.

What companies are working on IoT?

Amazon Echo has become one of the most popular technologies in the consumer market and it makes Amazon Echo one of the most disruptive technologies in the next wave of enterprise IoT solutions.

This is where things get a little more complicated. With so many companies working on different products, technologies and platforms, making all these devices communicate with each other is no small feat — seamless overall compatibility likely won’t happen.

Several groups are working to create an open standard that would allow interoperability among the various products. Among them are the AllSeen Alliance, whose members include Qualcomm, LG, Microsoft, Panasonic and Sony; and the Open Interconnect Consortium, which has the support of Intel, Cisco, GE, Samsung and HP

So, can all IoT devices talk to each other?

11

A wide variety of industries will be affected by the IoT. Here’s just a snapshot of some of those industries and a brief example of how it will be affected.

How will the IoT impact our daily life?

Mind control: New technology is being researched that could, amazingly, give us the chance to control machinery simply by using our minds. It may seem futuristic but the internet of things is already giving us the ability to collect data about the human body, so perhaps this is the next logical step. It has the potential to save lives and change the way we interact forever.

Robots: The idea of robots that can work together and learn from each other seems like something from a science fiction movie: but it really could happen with the connectivity that the internet of things provides. The idea is that robots could solve problems and increase their efficiency by working within a team.

What will be its scope in future ?

15

Of course with the new developments comes increased competition: with several companies competing to develop a software platform that will host all of the vertical applications of the internet of things. Whether there can be a dominant player in the market, much like the Facebook of social networking, remains to be seen.

However, what is clear is that the idea behind the internet of things has already made rapid progress and continues to do. It has a chance to change the world much in the way the internet did: and perhaps even more so.
