Main applications of the Internet of Things.
Prospecting on the future of this technology
The Internet of Things (IoT) is about things having an Internet connection anytime, anywhere.
This technology brings together:
– Hardware, with sensors and devices in everyday objects,
– Connectivity, connecting objects over fixed and wireless networks
– Data, implies that any object can be a source of data.
The IoT is beginning to transform the way we do business, the organization of the public sector and the day-to-day lives of millions of people. The Internet of Things is much more than ubiquity. For starters, it’s a way to instrument the planet. As everyday objects come to life thanks to sensors, the world becomes more interconnected and these objects, along with machines and people, communicate in a radically different way.
Paul Horn presents us the Internet of Everything as a consequence of the development of technology, now the world is becoming more instrumented and interconnected. Every time we’re smarter and our technology allows us to adapt more effectively to new challenges.
Paul Horn offers several examples of the consequences of this new technology, such as traffic control, and how companies must adapt to this innovation, offering interesting recommendations for it.
What is the Internet of Things and what parts make it up: hardware, connectivity and data. Small brushstroke of the grow[…]
The Internet of Things is already in our lives, in this section we will explain where and how.
In our report we already commented that:
The Internet of Things is a breakthrough with a great impact on society and business. As information and people become increasingly connected, technology serves as a tool for collaboration and decision-making in a world where the physical converges with the digital. Consumers gain bargaining power because the data they need is just a click away, and new business models emerge that aim to maximize the possibilities of an open and modifiable system for all. Gone is that the company is an organization for economic purposes. Motivations as diverse as the optimization of resources with a clear environmental background, the supply of individual excess capacity or the collective demand for knowledge of the origin of products have served as an innovative business concept under the umbrella of the Internet of Things.
In this section we will try to answer these questions. Where are IoT solutions being applied?What are they enabling?What impact are they having?What examples are there?
Emily Green, Author of ANYWHERE, starts talking about the contribution of ubicuos connectivity that is collaborative intelligence. Anywhere things are coming applying connectivity to a device to increase its utility to consumer. The world has the opportunity to welcome an incredible diversity of devices.

Industry 4.0 uses IoT to coordinate, automate and monitor industrial processes.
The arrival of 5G, the cheapening of IoT devices, and the growing offer of SaaS (Software as a Service) and PaaS (Platform as a Service) solutions may be the drivers of a massive adoption of the Internet of Things in the next 5 years, but we should not underestimate the impediments: mostly, lack of standards, cybersecurity problems (how to solve in IoT solutions the two main causes of cyberattacks: identity theft and unencrypted data) and lack of trust perceived by the citizen.
Adrian Wooldridge wants to add a little bit of skepticism towards the “Internet of everything”, its future and applications. Adrian discusses the fact that it is hard to get service in the era of service. The utopianism of the world becoming more efficient: infrastructure is not there yet; also there is a lot of consumer resistance towards machines and technology, furthermore political and cultural resistance, and a large problem with privacy.
Main accelerators and brakes of the development of the Internet of Things
IoT is an evolving technology that will follow development trends in the future.
