hi
00:03
and welcome to lessen for that one off the end user cyber fundamentals course.
00:10
This lesson will be focused on I O T devices and what they are.
00:17
In this lesson,
00:19
you will learn what I o t means,
00:23
and we will review examples of I O T devices.
00:30
So what does I don't see mean anyway?
00:33
I. O. T. Is an acronym for Internet of Things.
00:38
The Common definition off Internet of Things Devices refers to connected devices
00:44
beyond the standard devices like computers, laptops, smartphones, etcetera
00:49
that can transfer data over a network without requiring any human input.
00:56
I'll see Technology supports consumer, commercial, industrial and infrastructure spaces with remote monitoring capabilities.
01:06
The selection of these devices is vast and growing every year and includes devices such a smart voice assistance, speakers and surveillance cameras and includes many types of medical equipment, environmental sensors and smart appliances.
01:23
There is a lot of research out there reporting the estimated amount of I O T devices.
01:29
There is an average of 20 to 26 billion I OT devices today.
01:37
As you can see from this slide,
01:40
there are a Iot T devices that touch every part of our lives
01:45
and the i o. T. Use cases and technology will continue to grow and expand.
01:53
Here are some examples of consumer I O T devices.
01:57
Appliances such as refrigerators, vacuum clothes, washers and dryers. Microwaves and hot water heaters.
02:07
Smart TV's printers, cameras and doorbells,
02:12
connected toys and baby monitors,
02:15
thermostats, lightbulbs, mirrors, smart locks and water sensors.
02:22
You can control these devices remotely and even automatically order required products such as printer ink cartridges and other things.
02:35
Here are some example of commercial I O T devices.
02:39
Medical and healthcare applications
02:43
also refer to as I'll Mt.
02:46
Internet of medical things and smart healthcare
02:51
these air used for medical and health related purposes. Data collection analysis for research and monitoring.
02:59
These devices can be used remotely to monitor the blood pressure, heart rate glucose levels off patients or elderly from the patient's home and alert the hospital staff.
03:13
There are also wearables like Fitbit and other fitness or human behavior tracking devices.
03:21
There are many other use cases in this category, such as environmental control, logistics and fleet management to track cargo and building automation to track a building's energy consumption. And let's not forget smart cars
03:38
and Lastly, there are industrial Iot T devices, which are also refer to as I O. T. And are used to help regulate and monitor industrial systems that support agriculture, such as farming and manufacturing systems.
03:58
Infrastructure. Iot devices are also used to monitor and control operations of sustainable urban and rural infrastructures like bridges. Railway tracks on and off shore wind forms is a key application off the infrastructure. I O. T
04:17
is your television and I o t device.
04:24
If your television is a smart TV
04:27
and connects to the Internet, then yes, it is considered an I. O. T. Device.
04:35
In this lesson, we discussed Internet of things.
04:40
We reviewed what Internet of things means
04:45
covered various industry and personal use applications of these devices
04:49
as well as examples.
04:51
Thank you, and I will see you in the next lesson.
