Talking about the Internet of Things

In the last century, anyone who wants to enjoy the conveniences of modern civilization must be connected to a network, such as power grids, road networks, telephone networks, water networks, and our lower unit productivity forces us to use factory-style operations to generate enough products for social consumption and operation. At that time, people were basically connected to a network in a physical way, and information and objects could not be at that time. But today we have an independent, powerful information platform, and our lives are affected not only by its far-reaching, but also by its very beginnings.

The global Internet will bring information to the same platform, distance is no longer a barrier to information, a Central Asian hinterland people can get information on the Internet is not much different from a person in New York (except local information based on SNS), Unfortunately, there are still differences in the understanding of the power of the Internet in regions of different developed levels, but the difference is bound to shrink in the future.

The global coverage of wireless communication networks makes it possible for countless devices to be accessible to the Internet, so that the power of interaction between devices is not limited by distance, the internet is like a wormhole in space, allowing two space (distance) to collapse and connect two spaces directly. Cheap UAV Logistics is thus possible, if such systems are widely deployed, then the individual's life for the traditional transport logistics will be greatly reduced dependence on the logistics situation will be significantly improved, and such systems will further allow people of different spaces to share the same convenience.

And because there is no intermediate logistics company sorting link, the merchant to the merchant's close distance transportation also becomes more realistic, reduces the transaction time to reduce the transaction cost, everybody will benefit. Just imagine that rural families have a new way of selling their own things, as well as a convenient way to collect materials and goods, perhaps not primarily between villages and cities, but such deals between rural and rural areas will drive rural economies.

A few years ago in Shenzhen High School to engage in Qingcheng green roof project, we have been chatting about how new energy facilities can make a difference to our city, and the last thing we are excited about is not a solar Disk, a wind motor or a bio-motor on a house, but that many buildings will not be integrated into the grid to achieve energy self-sufficiency. Garbage collection technology is the only obstacle to this vision, in the modern city of garbage collection and ancillary network services, dirty has been accompanied by most of the city's adjectives, the attendant health problems also let countless people die, a building if not accept the service of the system, but also faced with garbage accumulation and abandoned fate. But if the number of such buildings is large enough, and all are connected to the wireless internet, then the new garbage collection services can come into being: do not carry out street network-type cleaning and recycling, but the point of collection of garbage, a charge of service charges. Because of the relatively small amount of garbage processed, it is also possible to develop and use more advanced recycling technologies to achieve two of profits. In this way, the virtual network will create countless temporary, low-cost physical network, and the charm of the network is that no matter where, each node can be free to exit and join.

It is not hard to see that the wireless internet will make services more prosperous because the physical network based on information Networks (IoT) is free, inexpensive, accurate and efficient. A German girl I met during a trip to Chongqing this year impressed me with a word I said:

"Marvell should is the facility but not the threshold."

I think the internet of things is to pull technology from a threshold back to our first understanding of it: convenience. The boom in the internet of things will make people less concerned about choosing a place because the constraints of the transportation system and the power supply are weaker.
