Mobility and “Internet of things” have always held a center stage for Google. Although there have been privacy concerns since the very idea of “Internet of things” was first conceived by corporations like Google, Qualcomm and others. It is not wrong to say that Google is already in our adobes with all the buzz of smart phones and android apps shooting off everywhere. Cisco also reveals so in its “Connected World Technology Report” and caters to the fact that 90 percent of the youth in America check notifications on their smart phones first thing in the morning.
Google has envisaged a long term goal for itself and technology, which is why when the news broke last month of it having bought Nest Labs, the firm involved with smart home thermostats and smoke detectors, there was a vision of the search giant that came to the mainstream. The deal should go in good stead with the Google's plan of getting into homes and automating it completely. Anticipations are such that from the use of smart thermostat one would be able to regulate temperature of home so that when the person is back from work the temperature is all set to energize the inmate. There are many such expectations regarding the detections of motion at home and verification of a person whether at work through GPS in their smart phone or car.
The core fuss behind the Nest deal though has been in regards to privacy and breach of information which Nest confirms, will not be the case, as Google would not have access to their inbound data. But the deal really holds no relevance if Google is not able to plant itself into the homes of people and earn a major market out there creating a complete environment for “internet of things” to happen. After all the core idea behind internet of things is automating devices to operate with/without human intervention. The tech companies are making that happen just to connect the world with devices putting essential principles of artificial intelligence, and converging all data streams through WiFi, RFID, ZigBee, Power Line Communications, smart phones and so on, into one central idea of IoT.
All in all, information and technology has taken gone through leaps and bounds over the years. Starting from newspapers, radio, telephone and televisions to internet, laptops and now smart phones, the world is forging towards centralization of everything into one thing. This is what is expected from Internet of things. Although there have always been privacy concerns whenever a new technology was supposed to be launched in the market. Most of these regulations are legitimate, rest just scare the ends out of people making it seem that every technology launched portrays a trap onto our personal lives. But no one looks forward to do so. Why? Everyone has already seen and adapted to a more convenient as well as simplified life with internet and “Internet of things”.
