IOT:

The Internet of things is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital
machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to
transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

IoT architecture is the system of numerous elements: sensors, protocols, actuators, cloud
services, and layers. Given its complexity, there exist 4 stages of IoT architecture. Such a
number is chosen to steadily include these various types of components into a sophisticated
and unified network

Different applications:
Smart surveillance, automated transportation, smarter energy management systems, water
distribution, urban security and environmental monitoring all are examples of internet of
things applications for smart cities.

The strengths of IoT


Beneficial to the workplace.
IoT devices aren’t just everyday objects found in your home. Devices are
used in the workplace too, often in factories and on the production line.
The devices can be connected to streamline processes. However, they can
also be used more intelligently — if a product isn’t doing so hot in stores,
the devices can be notified to slow down or even halt the production of
certain items.

Less taxing on the environment.


One huge reason for the popularity of smart and connected devices is
how beneficial it is to the environment. In fact, IoT devices are expected
to reduce emissions by more than 15 percent, thanks to devices like
smart lighting and cars.
The lights can use less electricity, especially when connected to motion
sensors; when you leave a room but forget to turn the lights off, the
sensors will do this for you. Smart cars often use electricity or a hybrid of
electricity and fuel, which reduces fuel consumption and environmental
impact on natural resources.
A leader in innovative technology.
IoT is a clear representation of innovation. It’s the combination of
everyday devices and streamlined data. For instance, you can have a
smart speaker that gives you the morning news, allows you to set
reminders, and answers with facts when asked a question. And we now
have autonomous driving vehicles that are able to parallel park without
assistance and drive on its own without human input.

In truth, the internet of things is only just beginning. We’ve


accomplished so much with it already, who knows what fantastic
surprises the future of this innovative technology has to offer?

Weaknesses of the Internet of Things


Breaches, hackers, and problems.
The #1 biggest weakness of any IoT device is security. Or really, the lack
of it. IoT devices can be compromised by attackers. The news has already
covered stories about attackers exploiting weaknesses in smart fridges —
which led to the exposure of Gmail logins.
Hacks happen for many reasons, but often because the IoT firmware has
a bug or vulnerability that these hackers exploit. If you don’t update the
firmware, you’re at risk for attacks.

Data is heavy.
These devices rely on the collection of data to improve or provide
services. But this massive amount of data, collected by every connected
device, needs to be stored and analyzed somewhere. At the moment, we
don’t have the best infrastructure to handle such a large job, and it could
lead to major data-related issues down the road.

A directionless technology.
Because it’s only a recent development, IoT is still in infancy. Which
means, it’s rather directionless in terms of growth. Although we can
make most objects “smart” nowadays, the infrastructure, firmware, and
potential vulnerabilities need to catch up too.

Likely, as most technology does, the internet of things will continue to


grow and innovate. This is a new industry with limitless potential (at the
moment), which means developers are excited and passionate about the
advancement of IoT. If we don’t have rules and regulations regarding the
use of the device, collection and usage of data, or how to keep each smart
item protected, it may end up crumbling.
