Technology has impacted humans, businesses and processes in many ways in our modern society. There exists apps to solve almost every problem or challenge that people face. This has changed the way people connect, communicate and collect the information. So, the next obvious step was to give smartphones more power and control, by bringing the control of other devices to the smartphone as well. This is when IOT (Internet of Things) came to picture.
INTRODUCTION OF IoT
The Internet of Things, also known as IoT, is the network of “smart” or connected devices designed to make your life easier. From lighting systems you can control from a smartphone app to smart doorbells, garage openers, coffee makers, washing machines, and thermostats, it seems that the robotic future envisioned by “The Jetsons” in the 1960s has finally arrived.
IoT and The Smart Home
How IoT affects our lives
Connect anything to the internet and it instantly becomes cooler. Your devices communicate with you, they accept your commands, they learn, and they connect to other gadgets in your life. Check out some of the ways you can upgrade your existence.
The urban commuter
If you drive in the city, you probably use pay station-type parking meters at some of the places you park your car. Many now allow users to pay with an app. Some services, like San Francisco’s Streetline or Toronto’s GreenP Parking, even provide real-time parking vacancy information, guiding drivers directly to available spots and eliminating the need to circle the block for hours until a spot opens up.
IoT in the home: how you can take advantage of IoT right now

Have you wondered, “Wouldn’t it be nice if I could just tell the [insert name of household gadget here] what I want it to do? It would make my life so much easier!” As IoT takes hold, your home is solving a lot of the problems that bugged our primitive ancestors.
Security
In the home, IoT-enabled devices can keep you and your family safe by allowing you to turn lights on or off remotely, open the garage door as you approach, or even see who’s knocking at the door while you’re on vacation. Smart locks allow you to open and secure doors without a key. Smart security cameras send images to your phone or a computer so you can keep tabs on your kids or your pets.
Pets

Speaking of pets – IoT devices like Petcube go beyond simple pet-minding by allowing you to manipulate a laser toy to play with your cat, speak to your pet, and even give them treats – all controlled from a smartphone app.
In the next post, I will propose some benefits that can be obtained by using this application.
I hope that with this smart application we can use it as well as possible without any intention to do evil. The constructive criticism and suggestion I hope for the good of writing in the future.
