Internet of Things, What is That and Why It Matters?
Since the dawn of time, we as humans always tried to find out ways to make our work and life easier. What separates us from other living creatures is our critical thinking. We make tools to ease us in doing everything. The wheel is one of the biggest inventions we could have. Imagine if we drag things around without it, it's a lot of work.
That's just one example of the many things we have created. But today, since the invention of the internet, things are moving fast almost in an instant. For example, when we need to grocery shopping, we are no longer need to go to the market and buy things. Now we can order it online and someone will deliver it to our house.
Another example that is exactly around us is that when we want to switch the light, we no longer need to do it manually. There is a tech company product that lets you switch the light through voice command.
Those are just little examples of how the internet really launch us to the future. But, what more benefits come from it? See the list below;
1. Interconnecting Everything in Your House
Everything now is connected to each other. The things that once we can't imagine even exist are now available within our reach. You don’t need to reach out too far, because these innovations are in your home already. We can now have voice command for our lights, a single button to roll down or up your curtain. Even a power outlet can be controlled with the touch of a button now.
2. Automation for Business
For businesses, expect everything to be done by a robot and that robot is controlled with a single press of a button. Decades ago, machines were unable to be controlled with one system. But now, the internet of things manage to control even hundreds of machinery at the same time. Everything is automatic. It is a robot who works in a car factory line now.
Human intervention is considered no longer effective because of mistakes that could happen. But with a robot, there will be no mistake. Another example we could look upon to is the food industry. All the cooking assembly is done automatically with one system and it can be controlled by a single human.
3. Digitalization in Marketing
The huge evolution is happening in the marketing sector. Long-time ago we used to advertise by using pamphlets, brochures, billboards, newspapers, etc., but today, let the internet do it for you. We have internet where people look for something. We have social media where people use it to hang out with their friends. That is why
digital marketing agency is a huge business now. All thanks to the blessings of the internet.
The Internet of things is already here whether you're ready or not. You have to know and learn about this if you wish to survive in the era of digital. -(AKB)
