What is internet of things ?
Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the comprehensive & growing network connectivity of many physical objects that can communicate among each others in order to monitor, collect, analyze, manage & control the environments that we are living in. IoT generates values that can improve our decision making, work productivity as well as our living standards.
According to Dr. Bradicich, there are 7 principles of IoT which includes:

Internet of things is nothing but the treasury of individual progressive development . In this regards if not out of the way i have taken liberty to submit herewith my publication under the caption '' Life Without Internet ''for your perusal for which i have express mt views .
a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data.
Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. This also applies to components of machines, for example a jet engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil rig. As I mentioned, if it has an on and off switch then chances are it can be a part of the IoT. The analyst firm Gartner says that by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices… That’s a lot of connections (some even estimate this number to be much higher, over 100 billion). The IoT is a giant network of connected “things” (which also includes people). The relationship will be between people-people, people-things, and things-things.

It is network of connectable "things". The answer is in the name itself.

"DEFINITION
Internet of Things (IoT)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
A thing, in the Internet of Things, can be a person with a heart monitor implant, a farm animal with a biochip transponder, an automobile that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when tire pressure is low -- or any other natural or man-made object that can be assigned an IP address and provided with the ability to transfer data over a network.
IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), microservices and the internet. The convergence has helped tear down the silo walls between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), allowing unstructured machine-generated data to be analyzed for insights that will drive improvements.".....

" .... What is the internet of things?
What is the internet of things (and why does it matter)?
The internet of things (or as it’s also known, IoT) isn’t new: tech companies and pundits have been discussing the idea for decades, and the first internet-connected toaster unveiled at a conference in 1989.
At its core, IoT is simple: it’s about connecting devices over the internet, letting them talk to us, applications, and each other. The popular, if silly, example is the smart fridge: what if your fridge could tell you it was out of milk, texting you if its internal cameras saw there was none left, or that the carton was past its use-by date?
Where it’s most common, in Britain at least, is home heating and energy use – partially because the government is pushing energy companies to roll out smart meters (although it has been questioned whether it can be delivered on schedule). They have clever functions that let you turn on heating remotely, set it to turn down the temperature if it’s a sunny day, or even turn off when there’s no-one home. Some can tell the latter with motion-sensing cameras, or simply by seeing that your smartphone (and therefore you) has left the premises.
IoT is more than smart homes and connected appliances, however. It scales up to include smart cities – think of connected traffic signals that monitor utility use, or smart bins that signal when they need to be emptied – and industry, with connected sensors for everything from tracking parts to monitoring crops.
Why does it matter? There’s a reason the government is encouraging energy companies to hand you a smart meter: all that data and automated use is more efficient, meaning we use less energy. Many areas of IoT show such benefits, though some smart gadgets are more about whizz-bang effects than efficiency, which may well be why we’re seeing more smart heating than smart fridges in the UK."....

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ever-growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity, and the communication that occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.
These objects( 'smart' devices) can be anything from mobile phones, fridges, washing machines to wearables, medical equipment or jet engines. Basically, in the Internet of Things, objects use the web and unique identifiers such as RFID tags or processors in order to exist as part of the internet.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/I/internet_of_things.html
http://www.techworld.com/big-data/what-is-internet-of-things-3631109/
It is the network connection between all the "things", electronic equipment, where the real-time transfer and processing of large volumes of data will be the core of the network.

"...Most IoT platforms available on the market today can be categorised as being a connectivity management platform, a device management platform or an application enablement platform, although there are many products that offer overlapping functionality or other unique features.
Many enterprises and organisations have already been involved in various machine-to-machine (M2M) deployments that have typically been characterised by customised solutions deployed within single industry verticals, or by one company, to improve existing business operations. IoT puts more emphasis on integration of sensors, devices and information systems across industry verticals and organisations to transform operations and enable new business models. “IoT furthermore aims facilitate a better understanding of complex systems through analytics based on data from diverse sources to assist decision making, improve products and enable entirely new services”, said Andre Malm, Senior Analyst, Berg Insight..."

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in manufacturing.
Also known as the Industrial Internet, IIoT incorporates machine learning and big datatechnology, harnessing the sensor data, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and automation technologies that have existed in industrial settings for years. The driving philosophy behind the IIoT is that smart machines are better than humans at accurately, consistently capturing and communicating data. This data can enable companies to pick up on inefficiencies and problems sooner, saving time and money and supporting business intelligence efforts. In manufacturing specifically, IIoT holds great potential for quality control, sustainable and green practices, supply chain traceability and overall supply chain efficiency...

"7 examples of the applications of the Internet of Things which are here now, By Robert Allen
Examples showing how Products become media and a service
Marketers love new tech and new trends, sometimes they don’t get them quite right at first, or sometimes they nail them (e.g. Buzzfeed on Snapchat). One of the biggest technology trends right now is the Internet of Things, which promises to bring the connectivity of the Internet into every facet of our lives. Making our devices and homes smarter and more efficient. The internet of things promises to be a revolution on par with the original connectivity revolution that the internet has unleashed over the past twenty years.
There are expected to be 75 billion connected devices by 2020, meaning there will be ten times as many devices able to talk to one another as there will be people on the planet! The implications are huge and far ranging. All this sharing of data will transform the way we live our lives. Yet to date it has been unclear how the Internet of Things will affect marketers. This is something which marketers will have to get to grips with as the Internet of Things expands and becomes ever more relevant."....

I would express (Internet of Things) IoT as "THINGS IN THE INTERNET". This title/statement allows me to predicate what qualifies for IoT.
>An entity that must serve via the internet.
Which disqualifies any communication that are sent without TCP/IP. Internet, which should allow us to connect from anywhere with anyone for any service is the idea of IoT.
We will benefit only if "required data, and data when needed/ wanted" is served correctly to make best decisions. This has been possible and shall be fulfilled by the Big Data and The Cloud. Since we have an architecture that can process almost infinite volume of data, we can create infrastructure that can generate that amount of data. Therefore, we can imagine an infrastructure where we can generate enormous data which we can process in the cloud, and use relevant algorithms to make best decisions.
The next big thing : How we can generate relevant data, use that data without violating the interest of the source and consumer, produce and analyze data with highest correctness, deliver and process without losing integrity of the information, while maintaining security in/of the infrastructure and software architecture.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
"The world of IoT is endless and so are the possibilities. It's all a matter of what industry you're looking to target and how creative you choose to become.
Some thoughts off the top of my head:
1. Medical applications--> your monitoring device (whether it be a fitness band or smartwatch) informing you of irregular vitals. If you are an individual who takes medication this could also inform you when it's time to take your medication (before you go into a state of emergency). Also, this could possibly inform your physician of an emergency situation- who will then be able to locate you due to your device and with his confirmation an automatic message to emergency personnel can be sent.
I think for elderly individuals automation of procedures could be invaluable. As a personal anecdote my grandmother had once fallen and wasn't able to get up. She lied on the floor for 4 days (my mother at the time was abroad) until her next-door neighbor noticed that she hadn't been picking up her newspaper and phoned my father. Now imagine instead she was wearing a device that could alert when she's inactive after X time during the day and would automatically notify a designated caregiver. The applications are endless.
2. Industrial applications --> in this arena it's the most classic productivity m2m application in my opinion. For example, lets assume smart glasses are prepared for industrial use. The smart glasses scan the different inventory barcodes. They notice that there is a shortage in items from barcode X. They notify the database that then automatically surveys the total inventory count to see the location of barcode X. If it is a matter of lack of inventory a message is automatically sent to scan upcoming shipments and the next date the inventory is scheduled to arrive. After data is analyzed and given to the user-- he can then approve/decline an automated message for purchasing more inventory. Here I think it's all a matter of efficient procedure implementation whereby devices can communicate with one another and the user acts only as a supervisor.
3. Consumer applications --> the smart home is a classic. Your thermostat being able to turn on ahead of time depending on the location of your car. Also, imagine your refrigerator being able to inform you when you need to purchase milk or is able to create a customized shopping list based on your most purchased items. OR even telling you when your food is about to go bad! Futuristic? Yes. Imaginative? Yes. Doable? Only a matter of time.
What is important here, in my opinion, will be the ability for these devices to communicate with one another to provide the user with a customized, easy experience of tasks you can't even imagine machines being able to do.
Now key to IoT is the issue of aggregating data, analyzing it and then using it productively. As mentioned, things you couldn't fathom are part of this equation. For example the company I work for: Humavox - Wireless Charging Solution. In simplest terms we provide a wireless charging solution for mostly wearable and IoT devices. In the future, our wireless charging station will be able to collect data regarding user habits, device charging profiles and the like. Now if we connect this to IoT- imagine your charging station reminding the user that he should probably charge now since his last charge was 6 hours ago and normally his battery life is X and there is a charging station located close by."

Kevin Ashton, in a presentation to Proctor & Gamble in 1999, coined the term “Internet of Things“. Almost all, every area, every device, every sensor, every software are connected to each other.
The ability to access these devices through a smartphone or through a computer is called IoT.
These devices are accessed remotely. IoT is basically a platform where we connect everyday things embedded with electronics, software, and sensors to the internet enabling them to collect and exchange data.
