INTRODUCTION
Ever wished your surroundings could just
understand and act according to your needs?
Well, with the Internet of Things, that dream is
already taking shape. The very room you are
sitting in right now could have an IoT ecosystem.
Your TV is most probably connected to your phone,
as are your lights and washing machine. They
communicate and share data via the internet,
allowing you to watch videos on your TV screen
comfortably, or switch off your lights from
outside your home, saving you the stress of
having to run back inside again.

What is the IoT?
The Internet of Things is the connection of
everyday objects to each other and the internet.
These devices are embedded with sensors, which
gather data in real time. This data is either
sent to the cloud through WiFi, Bluetooth,
satellite, etc., or processed locally on the
device. Once it is converted into meaningful
information and stored, it is sent to you through
a software or application on your smartphone.

Why Do We Need IoT?
IoT helps us control the tasks in our daily
routines and makes our lives stress-free. You no
longer have to worry about the state of your home
when you are outside, as you have security
systems that would alert you in case of a
break-in. It also monitors your surroundings and
makes decisions that improve your
lifestyle. Further, IoT improves the efficiency
of processes by monitoring them throughout and
automating tasks. Whats more, it lets you know
ways you can reduce energy wastage, improving
sustainability.

Applications of IoT
Believe it or not, IoT has already found its way
into numerous daily processes and has been making
our lives more efficient in ways we are
not aware of. Some ways it is improving our
lives are
through
Smart Homes
Healthcare Manufacturing

Advantages of IoT
Real-Time Access to Information Since IoT
devices gather information continuously, you can
have constant access to information and can make
decisions Better Productivity IoT automates
mundane tasks and allows people to spend their
attention on more important tasks.

Disadvantages of IoT
Security concerns There are a number of devices
connected together in an IoT system. So if one
device is compromised, it can be used as a
stepping stone to access other devices on the
same network. High costs As efficient as the IoT
system is, there are costs associated as well.
The sensors and actuators, along with the entire
infrastructure amount to significant initial
costs.

CONCLUSION

• To wrap up, we can expect the use of IoT to
  become even more widespread. That is, once the
  necessary regulations are made, and challenges
  such as interoperability and connectivity are
  overcome. This would create a much smarter way of
  life, especially with using other technologies
  like Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain as
  well. Not to mention, businesses would be able to
  go green with IoT helping them minimize waste and
  conserve energy.
