Internet of things
The internet of things refers to any device or thing that can be connected to the internet, examples could be cars and home appliances.
In other words, the internet of things somehow connects us to the world at large.
It's impact on the future.
The internet of things has the potential to shift the way people around the world do things, think and learn.
In one way or another, we are connected to the world, technology has the ability to connect us to the world, making our lives easier.
Today, our cell phones are able to inform us of what's happening around the world in a second.
The new improved appliances are advanced in a manner that, they can be paused, rewinded or recorded e.g a TV can be record a show or your favourite show in case you do not have time to watch it.
Our cell phones have GPS to help us manage and navigate our roads properly.
All these advanced technologies makes our lives easier and much more manageable.
From the above example, it is clear that the internet of things is not something that is going to happen but it is already happening.
According to (press,G.2014) in 2014 approximately 16 billion things were connected to the internet.
Example of the internet of things.
Wearable technology is the latest digital communication trend with watches and glasses enabling users to communicate, play, work and socialise through the wearable technology.
The GOOGLE glasses allows a person to do all the things they normally do on a tablet or smartphone but visually in front of you.
For example if you are lost, just call up maps and let the glasses guide you with a step-by step guide directing where to go.
In conclusion we can safely argue that the internet of things will change the future into a global technological world.
