Abstract
The idea of connecting normal devices such as appliances, machines, sensors etc to the internet has become a mainstay in our modern world. From your refrigerator being able to know what food you consume to your car knowing where the closest café or petrol pump is. The idea had been in the Zeitgeist since the late 1960s but still seemed far away since even 20 years ago.

The integration of IOT on every possible mechanical, electrical and compute device seems to be a definite future. With dreams of a smart home which can anticipate its owner’s needs and desires and adjust accordingly being realized with the combination of Artificial Intelligence by technologies such as Google Home.

The logical conclusion of this is to convert billions of our normal devices into smart devices which are connected, that will cover and take over almost every aspect of our lives. The IoT consists of smart devices or machines that employ sensors to record data that is used to interact and communicate with other machines, objects or infrastructure. Since all of this data is collected and recorded, it can be further processed and used as good information to ‘command and control’ itself to make our lives better.
