  1. Internet is about connecting people and allowing them to send and receive data.<\/li>\n
  2. Internet of Things (IoT) is about connecting things so they can send and receive data, without requiring human-human or human-machine interaction.<\/li>\n
  3. Sophisticated sensors and chips are embedded in things that surround us, each transmitting data that helps them interact.<\/li>\n
  4. A simple example:<\/strong> Imagine a car park has 100 parking bays, each with a sensor that senses (using weight of the car) whether it is vacant or occupied; these bays give their real-time status to a digital screen at the entrance, which displays how many slots are vacant.<\/li>\n
  5. Your smart watch or smart shoes sending data to your phone is another example.<\/li>\n
  6. Most of us are already seeing IoT at work today, but very advanced level of sophistication is possible and being explored by companies.<\/li>\n
  7. Example of high level of sophistication:<\/strong> Imagine you sleeping with your smart watch on.<\/li>\n
  8. Sensing the best moment to wake you (based on the phase of your sleep), the watch gently wakes you up by vibrating and sends a notification to the lamp (to switch on), coffee-maker (to make coffee), geyser (to start heating the water) and toilet seat (to get warm).<\/li>\n
  9. As you sit on the pot, the iPad facing you starts playing out news to you.<\/li>\n
  10. After shower etc., when you are ready and move towards the door to leave for office, the door opens automatically, sends a signal to car garage gate to open and closes behind you; your self-driving car receives you at the porch.<\/li>\n
  11. The above example catered to the consumer ecosystem, which could then be linked to the manufacturers\u2019.<\/li>\n
  12. For example, when a warning light goes on in your car, the manufacturer\u2019s platform can send a message to you for an appointment at a car dealership near you and at the same time, check inventory and order spare parts so you don\u2019t have to wait.<\/li>\n
  13. Leading worldwide brands already offer accessories that are compatible with iPhone and android devices; these include ACs, cameras, faucets, lights, TVs, speakers etc.<\/li>\n
  14. While it is exciting, IoT also has various risks attached to it, especially in the areas of security and privacy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
