9 Best Internet of Things Events of 2015

Are you content with the current technology to live a comfortable-enough life? Or are you still in need of more? Actually, although I was kind of a person who wasn’t even able to understand how a printer could print documents, now I’m in need of more and more technology in my life like everyone else. However, the current technology will be a drop in the ocean (thank God that drop is internet) in nearly 10 years and both the people and the earth will benefit from it. What I’m talking about is Internet of Things.

In 1999, when Kevin Ashton, a technology leader, introduced the term “Internet of Things”, even the internet was pretty new for the people and this term normally didn’t ring a bell for most of the people. However, in our day, as internet is far more than just a “computer connection”, Internet of Things make much more sense to us.

What is Internet of Things?

In a simple definition, it means that everything will have an internet connection from books to cows. These things are limited with our imagination and in a very near future, we’ll see that the clothes, the tables, the buttons of our shirts and even people will have an internet connection to process data and have an interconnection among them. When these things are connected to each other, they will make an intelligent system. Through this system, they will be able to share data and analyze it and they will take action accordingly. For example your alarm clock will know when you will wake up and send this data to your coffee machine to make your coffee ready by that time. Or when you are home alone and have a heart attack, the nearest health care provider will be notified and they will come to you immediately.

In other words, the intelligent devices will analyze the possibilities and the current situation to create a compatible scenario. “The things that were silent will now have a voice” as Dave Evans, a futurist, describes it. And his infographic about Internet of Things offers really comprehensible information.

IoT will be used in everywhere in our lives such as city transportation, industry, education, energy generation and will transform and improve our lives and the world in countless ways. According to Cisco’s report, in 2020, 50 billion of things will be connected to internet. To make a comparison, only %1 is connected to internet in our day.
