Cloud cuckoo land?
The Internet has become
an integral part of our lives. Almost everyone has a personal computer, a
Smartphone or a tablet. Everyone uses email for work, and many of us are
connected on and off the whole day long to various social networks. We are
living as connected people…
The “connected objects”
revolution started in 2015. We are now thinking about connecting all the
objects we use in our daily lives like our fridge, washing machine, or oven,
but also our clothes!
The leaders of this
revolution are some of the giants of the new technologies, like Samsung, Apple,
and Google. They feel that it is very important to show their ability to create
new things. Samsung, for one has created a virtual platform that will connect
together all the connected devices to create a kind of “Internet of Things”
(IoT).
These devices were put
on the front lane at Las Vegas’ CES in January 2016. In the great halls
of the event, thousands of these devices were on show, with hundreds of
different uses, from health to the house. The aim of this event was to promote
the new gadgets and find investors.
The experts in this
topic are planning that the connected tings and IoT will be up and running
within three years and that all the devices we use will all be connected to
each other by the years 2020.
However, IoT raises
security problems. Indeed, devices must be very secure so that the private life
of the user is not vioalated; nobody wants all his personal data to be hacked!
So, if they want their connected objects to be a success, the inventors and constructors
have to inssure the consumers a high level of security first.
