IoT in Controlling Our Future

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the major technological fields that is taking over the world as we know it. It is an extension of the internet from beyond surfing the web to fully controlling the things around us.

From a sci-fi movie that seemed impeccable back in the day to living inside the world that is forming into that very sci-fi - it won’t be wrong to say that the Internet of Things is finally showing what the world is going to look like in not a decade but even in a few years.

Embedded with different kinds of hardware such as electronics and connecting them with the internet can give you full control over the devices. If you ever saw a movie where the lights were turned off by sound or rather a touch of your phone, it is now possible thanks to the IoT.

IoT isn’t limited to the lights; in fact, that is merely the least of what you can achieve with IoT. Internet of Things gives you control over everything involving technology, where you can get any desired output. For instance, you can turn on your car from your phone through the internet; you can sit in the car and open your garage door through internet; in the future maybe you can drive outside from your phone through the internet; and of course, sitting inside the car, you can shut down the door through the internet as well.

As new as it sounds, this concept isn’t new at all; rather, it had been around for a very long time. This concept came around as early as 1982; when the Coke vending machine was modified at Carnegie Mellon University becoming the first internet-connected appliance which could tell whether the newly added things were cold or not. Since then, the evolution of the Internet of Things started and now we have reached to one of the points in time that the IoT is taking over all the appliances and devices related to technology and helping shape the future in a better way. Or is it?

Although, this may sound mesmerizing and safe, with more leniency comes more danger. Connecting to the internet is not secure as hacking will always remain a risky feature. Even with today's technology, hackers can take over the securest websites on the internet, and this could be one of the biggest threats proposed to both your privacy and your security. IoT is one of the up and coming fields that is going to skyrocket in the nearest future as more and more people are trying out new things and ways to not only connect more devices but also make it as secure as possible.

Whatever the case, in the next few years and definitely in the coming decade, the internet will be all around us; connecting us with the people and the hardware with such ease; but it is for you to decide how you will handle the threat it can propose and what devices you will be willing to pair with it.
