Era of Internet of Things is already here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Era of internet of Things is already here and you better be prepared to get surrounded by the sensors. The ample number of sensors already around us collecting data that we are not even aware about for ex. our phones getting our locations and reporting to apps and other services to give us the best recommendations such as restaurants on Yelp, gas stations, places to go around. At some point and i say the point is already near, there will need to be control over this sensors.

But anyways, why exactly they call it internet of things, the term internet of things have basically three parts to it peer sensors which are connected:-

1. Sensors :- devices(things) like temperature meter(much smarter devices like Nest), mobile phones, smartwatch and surveillance camera.
2. Connected:- the devices are actively connected to internet services or data bins or other sensors.
3. Peer based:- the devices have ability to be able to communicate and relay messages about themselves to other sensors so that they can make better decisions.

So this sensors essentially forms small networks which are then connected to other networks and hence the terminology "INTERNET OF THINGS".

I would like share a practical use-case as closing note here. The solution is ultimately called "Smart Farming" proposed by kaaproject.org/ , they provide sensors to farmers for smart metering, livestock trackers, or failure prediction systems, climate control. This ultimately make farmer aware about the situations ahead of time and allow them to make the decisions wisely like, if there are fruits on their trees are ripped and ready for picking or whether the trees are having any infestation, without even having to go to the tree/plant.
