mage a time when you are grocery shopping and your home computers contact you to let you know that your milk is about to expire, your yogurt has expired, you are about to run out of sugar, and you are completely out of your favorite juice. This is not science fiction. This is just one example of the capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Basically, the Internet of Things is tagging real everyday objects with machine-readable identification tags. These tags may also have sensors to collect even more data about the status of these everyday objects and their surroundings.
Another popular example is that printers could detect their low ink levels, contact their owners, and maybe even purchase a replacement with their owners’ consent. Companies will never run out of inventory or stock of any item, if they choose. Tracking and monitoring almost any resource could save companies and people a lot of time and money. And that is the ultimate reason that IoT will have a major impact in the very near future. But first, people need to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet of Things.
