The Internet of Things the intersection of the virtual and physical worlds via
connected devices won't just change the way people live and work; it also will bring
new opportunities for businesses, analysts say. Information-technology (IT) research
and advisory firm Gartner found that the intersection of personal worlds and
the Internet of Things is creating new markets and a new economy. Gartner
predicted that by 2020, 30 billion mobile phones, tablets, computers, wearable
technology devices and other types of connected devices will be in use. In comparison,
in 2009, there were only 2.5 billion connected devices in use, and they consisted
primarily of mobile phones, tablets and PCs. As a result, the Internet of Things will add
$1.9 trillion to the economy as IT spending continues to grow." said Peter Sonder
gaard, senior vice president at Gartner and global head of research. "
This growth opens up new business opportunities, as half will be attributed to
new startups and 80 percent will be in services, not products, Sondergaard said.
The industries leading the digitalization of everything are manufacturing (15 percent),
health
care (15 percent) and insurance (11 percent). For instance, Sondergaard said
manufacturers will benefit from producing billions of devices; health care can implement
safety systems, such as smart slippers or wearable devices that can detect falls and
medical conditions or otherwise alert doctors of any risk factors; and insurers can install
sensors on cars, linking the insurance premium to the individual's risk profile.
Business process Digital technology will improve products and services, provide customized
solutions, and deliver a better customer experience. "We do what we normally do, but
digitalization allows us to do it better or develop better products within our industry," said Hung

WHY IOT IS IMPORTANT.

Smarter Natural Disaster Management

The ability to predict, with fine-grained accuracy, the onset of conditions that
promote forest fires before they get out of control or even begin, allow
containment teams to respond more quickly and first responders to rapidly
manage targeted evacuations. This same concept applies equally to the
smarter detection of and reaction to mudslides, avalanches, earthquakes and
other natural disasters.

Smarter Urban Management

Cities and counties automating traffic management that effectively notices and
governs the flow of traffic based on ever-changing conditions; parking
applications that intelligently guide cars to open spots, eliminating wasted time
and energy and dramatically cutting back on emissions; automating utility
consumption, generation and distribution on a grand scale, all with an eye to
the mitigation of waste that far exceeds the capabilities of existing systems.

Smarter Healthcare
Wearable devices that detect a host of health problems, potentially before
they even occur, and immediately administer life-saving drugs or deploy
emergency responders with detailed information placed instantly in their
hands or alert family members as-needed.

The ideas above barely skim the surface of the deep sea of possibilities
afforded by the coming IoT age, and they all share a common (and not
accidental) adjective here: smarter. If smart is defined by the confluence of
access to information and the ability to utilize that information in meaningful
and appropriate ways, then the promise of the Internet of Things is, simply, a
much smarter planet that keeps us safer, balances the personal good with
the greater good, and improves humankinds chances at providing a more
sustainable legacy for future generations.

How the Internet of Things is introduced into
educationhttp://www.geektime.com/2016/03/07/what-will-be-the-impact-of-iot-on-education/

IoT has the ability to improve upon the learning experience by allowing for real-time and
actionable insights into student performance. Students bring wireless devices into the
classroom or use them at home. The materials available for learning on mobile devices,
such as e-books, are more engaging and interactive. There is a constant need for new
technologies for education, such as high-speed wireless networks with the bandwidth for
streaming audio and video lessons.
The advanced eLearning applications allow students to work at their own pace through a
course, which increases both satisfaction and course completion rates. Teachers can
provide one-to-one instruction and seamless student assessments. Through cloud
technology, instructors can collect data on student performance. The advanced
technology used in education also allows teachers to share and collaborate with one
another.

Potential of the IoT in Education

The Internet of Things would allow for better operational efficiency in every type of learning
environment. Connected devices could enable educators to perform dynamic classroom
interventions. Logging attendance would be simplified if students had a wearable device
that tracks ECG patterns. EEG sensors could be used to monitor students cognitive
activities during lessons. Classroom discipline would be much more easily enforced with
vibrations that are similar to a silent notification on a mobile phone. These devices could
redirect a students attention, such as giving a warm-up exercise to do on their device.
During examinations, a students identity could be verified through their brain waves
tracked by a wearable.

The new rule for the future is going to be, Anything that can be connected, will
be connected. But why on earth would you want so any connected devices
talking to each other? There are many examples for what this might look like or
what the potential value might be. Say for example you are on your way to a
meeting; your car could have access to your calendar and already know the best

route to take. If the traffic is heavy your car might send a text to the other party
notifying them that you will be late. What if your alarm clock wakes up you at 6
a.m. and then notifies your coffee maker to start brewing coffee for you? What if
your office equipment knew when it was running low on supplies and

automatically re-ordered more? What if the wearable device you used in the
workplace could tell you when and where you were most active and productive
and shared that information with other devices that you used while working?
On a broader scale, the IoT can be applied to things like transportation networks:
smart cities which can help us reduce waste and improve efficiency for things
such as energy use; this helping us understand and improve how we work and

live. The reality is that the IoT allows for virtually endless opportunities and
connections to take place,
