Internet of Things is something that created a Paradigm Shift in the ways things hitherto worked. Some even call it disruptive, well maybe. It did transform the world as we know it. But what is it really?
Theoretically (as Wikipedia states), “The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to connect and exchange data. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to inter-operate within the existing Internet infrastructure.” Unless you have been living under a rock you must have heard about voice activated commands that can control appliances at homes and not just that a smart home (home automation) where all things are connected, can be monitored, and controlled remotely.As a matter of fact, what we watched in Jetsons and Back to the Future series has become a reality now. Speaking machines, AI assistants and all.
