[Technology]-Internet of Everything

Although this topic is not very new and also not that important for any objective exam yet I found it very interesting and wanted to share with you all .

So Before I start lets look at the evolution of Internet :

1960's - Experiments about Computer to Computer Communication Systems to facilitate exchange of information without much bothering about time and distance

Thereafter , Internet has evolved at an exceptional speed.About 5 Billion People are connected to Internet.This can be attributed due to the increase in number of objects that can connect to the Web.

But what if ?

Physical things like your Chair,Tooth-Brush,मन्दिर का घंटा and even you yourself are also connected to the Internet.



There comes the idea of 'Internet of Everything'.You can observe as well as control the Physical things which are connected to the Internet.The interaction between You and the physical things around you or even distant from you gets extremely enormous.

According to an research about 30 Billion devices would be connected to each other by 2020.

Now imagine the following scenarios :



Your girlfriend buys a dress and it is connected to the internet and via Facebook you like it which gets displayed on that dress.
