IoT - Internet Of Things

Internet of things (IoT) is very interesting topic. 

What is IoT ? 

Physical Object + MicroController / Sensor  Or actuators + Internet = IoT

Devices came out relating IoT : 
FitBit -> It measure your steps, calories and sleep and pushes your data to your account. 

MicroController -> microcontroller also call as "small computer".  It has Processor (CPU), Memory (RAM), EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), I/O (Input / Output). 

Arduino - Very Interesting tool to take a look as a part of IoT

Sensor -> Is a device that detects events or changes in quantities and provides a corresponding output, generally as an electrical or optical signal;

Input Sensor example -> Keyboard / Mouse

Output Sensor example -> Monitor / Printer. Based on the input signals it converts and show in the monitor to user readable format.

More Examples on IoT 
1) Alarm clock developed based on train schedule. It wakes you up based on your train schedule by connecting into Internet. 
2) Bus Board in the Bus station. Since, every bus has GPS sensor it sends the information to Bus department and data from their delivers to bus stand board for display.
3) Umberalla : Umberalla signal with 'Red' indicator if forecast from BBC says rainy.

daily newspapers, classifieds which deliver adv. about rental, jobs, post letters, Telephones (Home Phones)..

Read : Designing the Internet of Things written by "Adrian McEwen" was very interesting.
