Future Aspects and Challenges of the Internet of Things for the Smart Generation

Abstract

The internet is now a basic necessity for human beings, especially in modern cities and metropolitan areas. Without the internet, an educated person feels helpless and unable to understand and follow events. At present, most people depend on machines. The field of computer engineering has helped the process of automation and the control of software as well as hardware devices. The internet of things (IoT) is a field of computer engineering that presents a synchronous behavior of components in a real-time system. Every piece of hardware and software that assists in accessing the internet or is used by the internet constitutes a main part of the IoT. The IoT includes the applications used in every field, e.g., healthcare, engineering, designing, inventory control, machine control, selling-purchasing, and the export-import of goods etc. In modern cities almost everyone uses the internet with individuals being linked to it through variable bandwidths and network ranges. People can access internet easily but they are not aware of the various issues, problems, and challenges of providing data to everyone at the same time on an unlimited number of topics. In this paper, the architecture of the IoT, the functioning of the IoT, the applications of the IoT in different fields, along with the research challenges and problems relating to the IoT are discussed.
