Internet of Things!

Lately, there is market fuss about IoT a.k.a Internet of things. To put in simple words, just think of a world where every thing around you has a mouth to talk and an ear to listen. Amazing ! Isn't it? As seen in the sci-fi movies! Let me describe the experience..

Its 6 am in the morning, the windows of your bedroom notice the time and senses that the temperature in your bedroom could be lowered to wake you up. It gently opens, and a fresh breeze fills the room. Your body senses , the sudden change in temperature. The morning light touches your eyelids. And the window sends the notification to your things that you have set to be operational in the morning hours. You get up and your TV greets you "Good Morning ! What do you want me to play?" You say " Play some good music buddy!" "The TV searches through your recent activity and preference and streams a good song from Youtube." By the time you freshen up, your house robot has also received a notification and it picks up the milk bottle at your door and pours into the coffee maker. when you come back from the bathroom ,your bed has been made and you are greeted by your house robot. You order your house robot to finish some activities before you come back from your morning jog. Your TV senses that you have left the room and rests back in standby mode.
