Before describing what our future with the IoT will be, let’s have an understanding of the growth in technology with the technology road map in the figure "IoT Technology Roadmap".
Figure: IoT Technology Roadmap
From this graph, we can see the massive advancement in technology since the year 2000 until now with still more to go in the future.
Back in 2000, we had RFID tags for identifying objects and facilitating routing. Then came surveillance, security, healthcare, transport management. We are now living at a time where we can locate people and everyday objects. And in the near future, we are about to experience the essence of teleoperation and telepresence!
That is how lives will be. With the rapid advancement in technology, we can take care of our near and dear ones, our possessions even from another corner of the world. Everything will become connected!
Let’s look at the graph in the Figure "IoT – Explosion of Connected Possibility" for the explosion of connected possibilities and hence a number of new job openings!
