Technologies sector prepares for the Internet of Things, this type of calculation is characterized by small, often stupid, computers, invisible are usually attached to the object. These devices detect and report data on the environment and propose a new way of controlling.
For over a decade, technology has been predicted and discussed this device attacks everywhere. "There is much debate about what to call, but there is little doubt that we are seeing premonitions of a new class of computers," said David Blaauw, who heads the laboratory of the University Michigan makes the computer function is not greater than o typed letters.
The main feature is a very cheap radio, precisely etched in silicon. There is one in your smartphone. But now the price has dropped to around $ 5. When they get cheaper, it becomes affordable to connect more things, such as sewer or trash. At the University of California, Berkeley, researchers and even the design of a computer the size of a pinhead to collect and transmit data to the brain through the skull. The idea is that the human body will join the network, (see "The Internet you").
Everything can seem absurd and oversold. Do we really need a coffee pot or a smart fridge with a web browser? Many inventions that seem silly. At Amazon, examiners products have a field day with $ 78 digital "minder egg" which grossed egg smartphones in the refrigerator is the oldest. "The products are wonderful!" Chuckled. "So many gray hairs avoided by never having to worry about my eggs again."

Since computers to be cheap with wireless capabilities, it is cheaper, they connect to the Internet, such as sensors in sewer pipes, machinery factories, lamps and appliances.

The technology industry is preparing for the Internet of Things, a type of computing is characterized attached to objects by small, often silent, mostly invisible computers. These devices collect and transmit data over the environment or provide new means to control it.
For more than a decade have predicted, technologists and argued about the onslaught of these ubiquitous devices. "There are a lot of quibbling over what to call it so, but there is little doubt that we see the inklings of a new class of computer," says David Blaauw, of a laboratory at the University of Michigan that a functioning computer makes it leads no more than one letter o entered.
An important feature is very cheap radios, etched right into silicon. There is one in your smartphone. But now the prices are falling to $ 5. As they get cheaper, it's always more affordable things, how to connect sewer pipes or garbage cans. At the University of California, Berkeley, researchers are also designing computer the size of a pinhead to collect data within the brain and transmit it through the skull. The idea is that human body is to connect the power to (see "The Internet of You").
It may all sound far-fetched and overhyped. Does anyone really an intelligent coffee pot or a refrigerator with a web browser? Many of the inventions seem stupid. Add to Amazon product reviewers have a great day with a $ 78 digital "egg Minder" who had reported to a smartphone, the egg in the fridge is the oldest. "Miracle product", a mocked. "So many gray hairs to avoid by never to have to make my eggs ever again."
However, for every killer app that was not, there is another computer-sensor combination that was added softly on the capabilities of the machine slightly. Since 2007, for example, every new car in the United States has a chip in each tire, the pressure measures and transmits the data by radio to the central computer of the vehicle had. It starts to add up. The average new car has 60 microprocessors in him, according to the Center for Automotive Research. Electronics for 40 percent of the cost for the production of a car.
Since computer with wireless capability too cheap, it is always affordable to connect more things to the Internet, such as sensors in sewer pipes, factory machinery, lighting and appliances.
The Internet of Things is especially important for companies that sell network equipment, such as Cisco Systems. Cisco has enthusiastically predicting that 50 billion "things" could lead to communication networks within six years (see "Silicon Valley to a mobile network, just for the things") can be connected, up from 10 billion mobile phones and PCs today. Another beneficiary is the $ 300 billion semiconductor industry. How Blaauw states: "Every time there is a new class of computer, the total sales for this class was larger than the previous If this trend holds, it means the Internet of Things will be even greater once.."
But each shift promises pain, too. Big companies like Intel has always been of the rapid emergence of smartphones. Intel, with its powerful, power-hungry chips was closed by mobile phones. So Microsoft was. Now these two companies, and many others, are groping, also to find the winning combination of software, interfaces and processors for whatever is closest.
And it's not just technology companies that need to remain vigilant this time. The reason, explains Marshall Van Alstyne, professor at Boston University, is that to be as ordinary products is connected, its manufacturer's information companies whose economics are alien to enter them. It is one thing to produce shoes, but what is a shoe that communicates? Products could prove to be particularly valuable as a basis for new services. "Maybe find the data is more valuable than the shoe," says Van Alstyne (see "The Economics of the Internet of Things" and "The Light Bulb Gets a Digital Makeover").
In this MIT Technology Review Annual Report, we have decided the big question is what new companies, explore how things are connected. A company that is the point Nest Labs, manufacturer of a smooth-looking smart thermostat that is connected to the Internet. Nest, which was acquired by Google this year, clobbering rivals thermostat has been carriers. But now that there is a network of thermostats and they can remotely control, it is starting to provide services for energy utilities. On hot days it can selectively reject air conditioning systems, control demand (see "The Lowly Thermostat, now Minter of megawatts").
Nest of tests with utilities are still small. But one day will be sent with a few bits over a network, the company could be a power station or two out of business. No wonder that this year, in his annual letter to shareholders, Jeff Immelt, CEO of General Electric, the world's largest producer, told his investors that (see "GE $ 1 billion software Bet") "Every industrial enterprise is a software his company. "
Gordon Bell, a Microsoft researcher and a pioneer of the original computer revolution believes no one knows exactly what shape computing is the Internet of Things. But he says that's not surprising. Importance of pc and smartphone became clear only after its development. "The" Internet of Things "is a way of saying that more of the world is to be part of the network," he says. "That's what's going on., We assimilate the world into the computer. It's just more and more computers."
