OVERVIEW OF THE IOT THAT MEETING SOCIETAL CHALLENGES

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly becoming a reality that surround us and intersects with many aspects of our lives. Pervasive connectivity and advances in information and communication technologies (ICTs) have made possible the connection of more devices to the Internet. This is leading to a new wave of applications that have the potential to dramatically improve the way people live, learn, work and entertain themselves. Sensors play a key role in connecting the physical world (such as temperature, Co2, light, noise, moisture) with the digital world of IoT. Availability of this data can make us more productive and less reactive in our interaction without the world around us (Evans, 2011). The IoT is considered the next evolution of the Internet. The success of IoT will be driven by applications that deliver tan-gible improvements to people’s everyday lives. Sensors are likely to play a central role in providing the data streams upon which these applications can be built. For example, mobile and home-based environmental monitors allow people to trace ambient air quality. They can use that data to either modify their environment or alter health and wellness. As a value and impact of these applications reach widespread the need for both im-proved and new sensor technologies is likely to grow rapidly. model; The final 9th section indicates the conclusion and recommendations to be undertak-ing regarding IoT.
