Internet of Things (IoT)

Have you ever think of a world in which the devices around you are talking to you and between devices..! Imagine your music player turns on your favourite music based on your present mood or when you walk to the refrigerator it tells you what you can make with the stuff you already have in the refrigerator. Is this possible ?. These are possible with the help of IoT or Internet of Things. IoT applications are beyond our imagination. IoT or Internet of Things is a concept which comes to reality which describes the idea of interconnecting our everyday physical objects to the internet.

How do this work?

Sophisticated sensors ( a small chip that senses the surrounding activities ) and the actuators ( another small chip that responds to sensed activity ) are embedded inside the physical device around us collecting and transmitting valuable data. The devices can be your music system, Air Conditioner, Mobile phone etc which are securely communicating through an internet of things platform. This platform integrates data from many devices like this and applies analytics to share the most valuable data with each other.

Applications

The Internet of Things is changing much about the world we live in from way we drive to how we make purchases. IoT found application in almost every field of manufacturing, agriculture, educations, real-time weather updates, scientific research and more. Common IoT applications are smart home, smart city, smart bulb etc. Thus the world is becoming smarter with IoT

BIG DATA

Big Data describes the large volume of data. Both structured and unstructured, that cannot be managed in the day- to- day basis. It is not the data that is important. It is what the organizations do with the data matters. Big Data can be analyzed for insights that lead to a better decision and strategic business moves. An industrial analyst Doung Lancy explains Big Data as 3 V s Volume : Organizations collect data from a variety of sources, including business transactions and social media and information from a sensor or machine-to-machine data. In past storing, such large data was a problem but new technology like Hadoop have eased the burden Velocity : Data streams in at an unprecedented speed and must be dealt with in a timely manner. RFID tags, sensors, and smart metering are driving need to deal with torrents of data in near-real time. Variety : Data comes in all type of formats, from structured, numeric in the traditional database to unstructured. text documents...
