IoT and future trends
IoT is already hyped now and it will keep booming and growing in the future with advancements in IoT ecosystem technologies.
As we stated in the first chapter of this book, Introduction to IoT – The Big Picture, IoT technologies are key enablers for digital transformation and they are also enablers for other technologies such as AI, ML, and advanced data analytics, but the question here is whether any technologies will impact or shape the future of IoT technologies? The answer is yes. Let's explain this in more detail next:
Figure 10.4 – Technologies that impact the future of IoT
From our point of view, advances in the following technologies are what will shape the future of IoT:
- Devices and sensing technologies: Advances in microcontrollers (in terms of size, capacity, power management, peripherals, and so on) and sensors (in terms of sensitivity, resolution, linearity, zero drift and full-scale drift, range...
