For 80% of smartphone users, the answer is check their phones. After this first interaction, users generally have their phones with them 22 hours per day. This means they are always connected with family, friends, work and essentially everyone else using their smartphones across the world. Naturally all of this technology plays a role in human to human interactions, but what about machine to machine interactions? Technology has given us instant access to endless information, right at our fingertips, and is evolving into greater levels of connectivity, interaction and the ability to remotely monitor or control devices from any location. In 2015, it is now possible to turn on the lights at home by simply pressing a button on your mobile device. This machine to machine interaction is what is described as the Internet of Things, where everyday objects are connected to each other wirelessly. In addition to simplifying everyday tasks for the general population, the Internet of Things, or IoT, plays an important and growing role in businesses around the world. Medical specialists can monitor vitals when a patient is at home, meat processors can assure their smokehouse is operating at the correct temperature 24 hours a day and manufacturing processes can become completely automated and convey completion or problems with instant notifications. Aside from the efficiency benefits, this connectivity allows 24 hour monitoring and control of critical situations. Check out this infographic to learn more about how the Internet of Things plays an important role in all aspects of life, and how it is changing the world we live in.

1. MOBILE AND PROUD
WITH THE CLOUD
MOBILE BIG DATA CLOUD
80% of people use their smart
phone to search the internet.
28.85% of e-mails are opened
on a mobile phone.

IoT
‘Internet of Things’
A computing concept describing a future where
everyday objects are connected to each other
through WiFi, the cloud and more.
Big
Data
‘Big Data Analytics’
Big Data refers to a strategy for analyzing large
amounts of data gathered from various places
then finding patterns and connections within it.
294 billion emails are sent every
day.
Over 2.7 zettabytes
(2,514,570,951,460 gigabytes) of
data exist in the digital universe.
A Colorado-based data center
and managed services provider
ViaWest, states that humans
create 2.5 quintillion bytes
(2,684,354,560 gigabytes) of data
daily. (That is like filling up 57.5
billion, 32GB iPads every day.)
WiFi
‘Wireless Fidelity’
Wireless network technology that is used for connecting
to the internet. WiFi is radio waves that are broadcasted
from a router to the devices.
Terms to know
Mobile Data Past, Present and Future
The most frequent use of a mobile device is neither calling nor texting but checking the time of day.
IN 1999, the term, ‘Internet of things’ is
also referred to as ‘Internet of
Everything,’ was created.
BY 2020, roughly 26 million everyday
objects and devices will be
linked together by using WiFi.
BY 2017, the IoT market will surpass
the PC, Tablet and the phone
markets combined.
In the world today, most smart devices are found in businesses, factories/plants and health care, not in the
home. This gives large industries the ability to access data to track inventory, manage machines and increase
overall efficiency. By 2019, for personal home use, it is projected that more than two thirds of consumers will buy
connected technology, like a refrigerator that connects to the internet wirelessly.
