Why is the internet of things not universal?

Compared with the concept of wearable equipment in advance, the internet of things seems to be closer to life, but the reality is that the popularity of the internet of things and wearable equipment as slow progress. Then, as the modern social intelligent development trend of the concentrated embodiment, what is the obstruction of the popularity of the internet of things?

In the strictest sense, the internet of things is not a nascent industry, from the macroscopic point of view, the Internet of Things is internet-based platform, the Internet after the realization of the "People networking", followed by the life of the "Internet of Things", and from the microscopic point of view, the IoT can be understood as a simple LAN, It can also be called an upgraded version of industrial automation.

But one thing needs to be clear is that the lag of the development of the Internet of things is not because the development of the related industry has slowed down, but the concept of the Internet of things has a certain degree of "pseudo" and "virtual".

First of all, the internet of Things is very early in the vicinity of us, such as intelligent transport, car networking and so on, are subordinate to the scope of the Internet of things, and we now refer to the Internet of things, mainly refers to the cross-boundary material link. Despite what the industry calls the third wave of the world's information industry after computers and the Internet, the networking of things is far from the grassroots, because the real internet of things is too large (reference IBM's Wisdom Earth), not only in the industry without a unified standard, but also a lack of leadership.

We know that the Internet is so successful in achieving global connectivity, because it is a transport protocol, terminal architecture or operating system is a good solution to the standard problem, but in the popularity of the internet of things, may be due to applications, sensors, transmission and many other aspects of the emergence of a number of technologies resulting in different scenarios, Most of the current networking enterprises are mostly alone, so that between industry and industry, industry and industry, between companies and companies are closed to each other, ultimately can not reduce research and development costs, and can not open innovative business models, not to produce economies of scale.

Another big trouble is that the Internet may be a nuisance to users ' privacy, especially the widespread use of RFID technology will expose the public's privacy, in the user experience of intelligence and efficiency, personal information will flow into the gray area. It is no exaggeration to say that the internet of things will be predictable as a more complex and pluralistic leak of personal information after viruses and hackers, and more seriously, it may be accompanied by a greater risk of Internet access at the commercial and national levels. However, how to avoid these problems is not clear, because the whole industry is still in the embryonic stage, only the enactment of relevant policies and laws to regulate and control, in order to let the industry healthy and orderly development.

Internet of things to achieve interconnection, the need for traditional products to add sensor modules and network access, but the gap between different products may make this step to achieve extremely difficult. At the same time compared to the Internet, the related technology of the internet of things should be more sophisticated, this is also a constraint on the large-scale application of Internet problems, and because the industry has no mature business model for reference, and the development of the Internet of Things is very high, and in turn makes the scale of the internet of things more distant.

Now there are a lot of people at home and abroad doing things online, but at present, all enterprises advertised the Internet of things, can not afford the name of real things networking, in order to truly achieve the concept of the Internet of things, the company and even the country must break the gap between each other, so as to achieve the data in a number of different networks effective exchange, but for now, There is no reason why people should do that.

The Internet of Things is a huge system for the whole human society, the need for integration of all aspects of complex, its construction cycle will be very long, which may also involve the game of multiple forces, therefore, "everything interconnected" needs a long period of incubation to complete. As an ordinary consumer, we do not have to expect too much, because it is not a solution to most of the problems in our lives, but will make our lives a little better.
