The most important features of IoT include artificial intelligence, connectivity, sensors, active engagement, and small device use.
AI enhances every aspect of life with the power of data collection, artificial intelligence algorithms, and networks.
Connectivity- New enabling technologies for networking and specifically IoT networking, mean networks are no longer exclusively tied to major providers. Networks can exist on a much smaller and cheaper scale while still being practical. IoT creates these small networks between its system devices.
Sensors-They act as defining instruments that transform IoT from a standard passive network of devices into an active system capable of real-world integration.
Active engagement- IoT introduces a new paradigm for active content, product, or service engagement.
Small devices- IoT exploits purpose-built small devices to deliver its precision, scalability, and versatility.
IoT is a network of devices that can sense, accumulate and transfer data over the internet without any human intervention.
Simply stated, the Internet of Things consists of any device with an on/off switch connected to the Internet.
IoT systems allow users to achieve deeper automation, analysis, and integration within a system.
Advantages of IoT
1. Improved customer engagement
2. Technology Optimization
3. Reduced waste
4. Enhanced data collection
Disadvantages of IoT
1. Hackers may access confidential info
2. Bug affects all connected devices altogether
3. Compatibility question
4. Large number may be hard to manage
Challenegs of IOT
1. Security- offers only little control
2. Privacy
3. Complexity
4. Flexibility- some people fear these IOT might not work together they might get stuck using some specific one.
5. Compliance- it might be hard to know whether they comply or not.
