IoT – Internet of Things
IoT
The term IoT is getting big and bigger with

time. We all are well aware of this concept. We
are using various applications of the Internet of
Things in our day-to-day life. The concept of IoT
is making things operate smartly. Thus, also
making the society smarter. It also promotes a
cheerful and convenient lifestyle for humans.
What is IoT?
Internet of Things is the

technology through which
things can communicate and
function properly without any
human or computer
interactions. Millions of devices
can share data through the
internet.
What is IoT?
In IoT, objects are embedded with some kind of chips and
sensors that help them in exchanging data with great ease
using the internet.
RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) chips are an
important part of IoT. They help computers in managing all
the things. Earlier the exchange of information from one
device to another was considered as M2M or machine-to-
machine transfer technology. The concept of IoT is not
different from this. It can be considered as its enhancement.
History of Internet of Things
The concept of connecting devices existed early in
the 1980s.
In 1982 the first smart device was invented at
Carnegie Mellon University. Students in the university
invented a coca cola vending machine which can
report whether the loaded drinks are cold or not.
In 1990, students of University of Cambridge
connected toasters with the Internet.
History of Internet of Things
In 1999, the term “Internet of Things” was first introduced by
Kevin Ashton.
In 2000, the first IoT refrigerator was designed by LG
Electronics.
In 2008, the first international conference on IoT took place
in Switzerland.
According to Cisco Systems, the IoT was born between 2008
and 2009, when more objects started connecting with the
internet. However, this concept gained its importance in the
market by 2014.
Components of Internet of Things
IoT technology allows us to explore the use of

the internet more widely. Earlier we could only use
the internet only on our mobile phones and
computers. But now different things are using the
internet to promote their functionality.
There are three main components of IoT that
regulate its proper working. They are Hardware,
Software and the communicating Platform.
Components of Internet of Things
In the term “Internet of Things”, the “thing” is the hardware
device. One of the important hardware is sensors. Sensors are the
device which can sense the changes in the input. It will then send
the appropriate output responding to that input.
Various software are used to fetch real time information within
the IoT network. This is responsible for making the system smart.
Now there is a need of a platform through which the devices
can communicate to each other. For short range connectivity Wi-
Fi, RFID, Bluetooth can be used. For long distance connectivity NB-
IOT, SIGFOX can be used in IoT.
Applications of IoT
Today IoT technology is providing vast

applications in every field. Today, we have a
large number of devices working on the concept
of IoT. About 27 billion devices are connected
with the Internet of Things. It is expected to
increase over 100 billion by 2030.
Smart Home
The smart home

automation includes saving
energy. Lights and fans can
be switched off automatically
when leaving home.
Devices like Siri, Alexa
would be very helpful for
people with disabilities.
Medical and Healthcare
It can be used for automated

health monitoring systems that
should notify in case of emergency.
Many hospitals are ready to design
smart beds for patients.
The Fitbit bands, that can also
measure the pulse rate, blood
pressure, etc. is an IoT device.
Transportation
In the field of
transportation, the concept
of IoT can be applied for
smart traffic control, vehicle
tracking, automated toll
collection, smart parking,
etc. will save the efficient
time of the public.
Agriculture
In order to increase
productivity, farmers
can adopt smart
farming. These IoT
devices will help to
check the favorable
weather for crops.
Environment Monitoring
IoT applications would

be helpful for proper
environment monitoring,
different hazards like
tsunami, earthquake can
be controlled by early
detection.
Advantages/ Disadvantages of IoT
The IoT devices are designed not only to access

real time information but also to learn from the
activities. In order to achieve this, the IoT device
makes use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine
intelligence, thus making the devices more efficient.
IoT provides many benefits in different areas.
However, it can be seen as a new way for
cybercriminals to attack the privacy of the people.
Advantages of IoT
Reduce Labor Cost: The introduction of IoT, will reduce manpower. Most
of the work can be done by devices itself.
Comfortable Life: Using the applications of IoT is making our life easier
and comfortable. Imagine how our life will be when our refrigerator can
identify itself as the grocery we are lacking or the air conditioner is kept on
few minutes before we reach home.
Saves Time and Money: Since devices are capable of communicating, it
will save human time. In industries IoT can save money in productivity cost.
Productivity: IoT can increase the productivity of any business by
reducing time, labor charge, money, etc.
Disadvantages of IoT
Security: Most of the data will be embedded in the

devices. Therefore, increasing the danger of data hacking.
Error Fixing: Since the devices are interconnected to each
other, finding and fixing bugs can be a difficult challenge.
Privacy: The Internet is more likely to be prone to different
cyber-attacks. It will increase the privacy concern.
Compatibility: Devices manufactured by different
manufacturers may face the problem of compatibility. It is
difficult to make devices that can share common standards.
