The Impact of IoT Applications, Can Smart Devices Think?
• Smart devices, such as those found on the Internet of Things (IoT), do
not have the ability to think in the same way that humans do.
• Rather, they are programmed to perform specific tasks and to make
decisions based on the data that they collect and the instructions that
they receive.
• All digital devices work based on computer programs and supplied
data.
• Artificial Intelligence implies that these devices can think on their own.
• If programmed appropriately, smart devices can evaluate data that is
provided to them and modify processes or settings “on the fly”.
• If they are provided with sufficient data, they can “learn” and modify
their own code based on the new parameters.

The Impact of IoT Applications, Can Smart Devices Think?
• For example, a smart thermostat can be programmed to turn the heating or air
conditioning on and off based on the temperature in a room.
• It can also learn a person's schedule and adjust the temperature accordingly.
However, it does not have the ability to think or make decisions on its own.
• Similarly, a smart home security system can use sensors to detect motion and
trigger an alarm, but it does not have the ability to assess the situation and
decide whether to sound the alarm. It simply follows the instructions it has
been given.
• Overall, while smart devices can perform tasks and make decisions based on
data and instructions, they do not have the ability to think or reason in the way
that humans do.

The Impact of IoT Applications, Can Smart Devices Think?
• Example: Imagine a refrigerated transport truck, carrying frozen
goods, that is equipped with a global positioning sensor.
• As the truck drives into a major city, the sensor determines that
there is an accident ahead that is causing major traffic
congestion.
• The sensor sends the data to the computer system that collects
the data and make decisions.
• The system then alerts the driver to the new conditions so that the
accident can be bypassed.
• This automatic interaction has saved the driver time and will get
the transported product to market faster with a product that is still
frozen.

History of Smart Cities • The concept of smart cities began as far back as the 1960s and 1970s when the US
Community Analysis Bureau began using databases, aerial photography and cluster
analysis to collect data, direct resources and issue reports in order to direct services,
mitigate against disasters and reduce poverty.
• This led to the creation of the first generation of smart cities.
• The first generation of smart city was delivered by technology providers to
understand the implications of technology on daily life.
• This led to the second generation of smart city, which looked at how smart
technologies and other innovations could create joined-up municipal solutions.
• The third generation of smart city took the control away from technology providers
and city leaders, instead creating a model that involved the public and enabled social
inclusion and community engagement.

IOT Transforming The Future Of Agriculture • With the exponential growth of world population, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the
world will need to produce 70% more food in 2050, shrinking agricultural lands, and depletion of finite natural
resources, the need to enhance farm yield has become critical.
• Limited availability of natural resources such as fresh water and arable land along with slowing yield trends in
several staple crops, have further aggravated the problem.
• Another impeding concern over the farming industry is the shifting structure of agricultural workforce. Moreover,
agricultural labor in most of the countries has declined.
• As a result of the declining agricultural workforce, adoption of internet connectivity solutions in farming practices
has been triggered, to reduce the need for manual labor.
• IoT solutions are focused on helping farmers close the supply demand gap, by ensuring high yields, profitability,
and protection of the environment.
• The approach of using IoT technology to ensure optimum application of resources to achieve high crop yields and
reduce operational costs is called precision agriculture.
• IoT in agriculture technologies comprise specialized equipment, wireless connectivity, software and IT services.

What Is the Smart Grid?
• A smart grid is an electricity network based on digital technology that is used to
supply electricity to consumers via two-way digital communication.
• This system allows for monitoring, analysis, control and communication within the
supply chain to help improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption and cost, and
maximize the transparency and reliability of the energy supply chain.
• The technologies that make today’s IoT-enabled energy grid “smart” include wireless
devices such as sensors, radio modules, gateways and routers.
• These devices provide the sophisticated connectivity and communications that
empower consumers to make better energy usage decisions, allow cities to save
electricity and expense, and enables power authorities to more quickly restore power
after a blackout.

Why Smart Grid • According to Scientific American there are 200,000 miles of high
voltage transmission lines in the United States that collectively carry
more than one million megawatts of electricity.
• The problem for the U.S. is that a lot of this infrastructure was built in
the twentieth century in a multi-billion-dollar project conceived and
executed largely before the invention of the Internet, and certainly
before cellular (and RF technologies) technology emerged as a viable
replacement of expensive cable.

IoT Retail Shops • If you haven’t already seen the video of Amazon, Go – the concept store from the
eCommerce giant, you should check it out right away. Perhaps this is the best use of
the technology in bridging the gap between an online store and a retail store.
• The retail store allows you to go cashless by deducting money from your Amazon
wallet.
• It also adds items to your cart in real-time when you pick products from the shelves.
• If you change your mind and pick up another article, the previous one gets deleted
and replaces your cart with the new item.
• The best part of the concept store is that there is no cashier to bill your products.
• You don’t have to stand in line but just step out after you pick up your products from
shelves. If this technology is effective enough to fetch more patronage, this is sure to
become a norm in the coming years.
