Internet of Things is disruptive in nature, as its versatility of machine to machine communication, which enables cloud computing, satellite communication or mesh networks of data acquisition sensors, digital or analogue receptors to communicate with any devices, required to be notified for any significant changes in the surroundings.
The most significant contribution of Internet Of Things, will be impacting human life by shaping it with, greater connectivity, all this will be happening due to the significant evolution of secure, low energy, wireless standards like MQTT, BLE4, BLE5, cloud computing and leading them all, nano-fabrication techniques of Integrated Circuit’s manufacturing. There is virtually no limit, as any device can be connected to the internet, without much efforts and special skills. Like in your house, water purification system that will report the quality of the drinking water, along with your usage in real-time on your phone.

He used IOT as a title of a presentation, he made to the American consumer goods company P&G, describing IOT as a system where a physical world is connected to the internet via ubiquitous sensors, actuators, location devices and internet connected alarms etc.
It’s been a glorious 25 years of internet and connected world, now it’s time when the power of World Wide Web to connect people, data, things and processes together to transform human’s life and businesses. Internet was revolutionary since the beginning and has a greater impact on our culture and commerce.
Apples Home Kit, Google Glasses, NFC Payment, Bluetooth beacons, Augmented Reality Goggles and Wearables devices made by conductive threads are shaping and transforming everything, we interact with in our daily life.
