1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,160 The Internet of Things is a pretty broad concept overall it's the name given to 2 00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:10,880 the interconnection of everyday devices from appliances in your home to 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,080 automobiles with built-in sensors all the way up to biochip transponders in 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,840 farm animals and heart monitoring imp plants and humans essentially it is the 5 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:24,560 way that machines communicate with each other in order to improve Automation and 6 00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:28,480 efficiency in daily tasks now this might be a bit of a surprise to some of you 7 00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,800 but the Internet of Things is not even close to a New Concept though it didn't 8 00:00:30,759 --> 00:00:35,719 receive its name until 1999 the first 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,840 internet Appliance was actually a Coke machine at Carnegie melon University in 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,840 the early 1980s of course this was a pretty basic 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,079 implementation of internet connectivity but the programmers were able to 12 00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:52,120 remotely check if the machine was functioning and even check the stock of 13 00:00:49,239 --> 00:00:56,719 the machine from their PCS as trivial as it was this was the first real proof of 14 00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:00,760 concept for off-site monitoring of physical things now though we have 15 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:05,159 advanced by leaps and bound since the 1980s The Internet of Things is actually 16 00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:09,560 still pretty limited compared to what it could be and at this point might even be 17 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,640 seen as a gimmick to the uninformed individual but it is growing in many 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,119 areas it is actually growing in too many areas to touch on all of them in this 19 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:22,759 video So today we're going to focus on how the Internet of Things is impacting 20 00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:24,799 Automobiles and our homes so cars now 21 00:01:22,759 --> 00:01:28,280 have sensors that measure performance indicators like tire pressure fuel 22 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,479 economy and various engine levels like oil pressure and temperature and some 23 00:01:30,119 --> 00:01:36,200 high-end cars can even receive firmware updates that add new or improved 24 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:41,079 features a great example of this is the model S from Tesla Motors owners of this 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,479 car recently received a firmware update that added features like traffic based 26 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,399 navigation and location-based smart air suspension this is a fantastic 27 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:54,280 advancement as it allows manufacturers to update and upgrade their products 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:58,399 post launch rather than just adding the feature to the next year's model and 29 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,079 expecting the consumer to buy that one when it's released company that are 30 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,799 trying to increase home automation are currently focused on optimizing security 31 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,640 and comfort installing internet accessible cameras locking or unlocking 32 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,280 your doors with a smartphone app and adjusting your thermostat either before 33 00:02:11,239 --> 00:02:17,400 you get home or before you get out of bed are just three internet-based 34 00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:22,400 advancements available to homeowners today so to the Carnegie melon 35 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,440 University programmers in the80s this would have seemed like something out of 36 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:29,560 a bad science fiction movie but it's very real and is only the beginning of 37 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:34,720 what the Internet of Things is capable of I mean even today most internet and 38 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:39,239 connected devices require human intervention to really change anything 39 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:43,400 about them but in the future as more and more things are connected with each 40 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,879 other they can read off of themselves and each other instead of off of us so 41 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:51,360 the concern then is that if machines are going to become so intelligent and 42 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,800 efficient that they take over most of our day-to-day tasks then where do 43 00:02:53,440 --> 00:03:00,080 humans really fit in do we have a point anymore and this is the main issue that 44 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:03,920 some of the greatest minds of this age are starting to address with this 45 00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:08,200 growing implementation of automation earlier this year Bill Gates warned the 46 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:12,280 public that the demand for many jobs at the lower end of the skill set which he 47 00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:15,280 determined as drivers waiters nurses and similar professions will be 48 00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:20,040 substantially lower in 20 years than they are today and while it isn't 49 00:03:17,239 --> 00:03:24,120 directly related to automation of tasks artificial intelligence is also a 50 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:28,599 growing concern Elon Musk CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX has recently been 51 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:33,560 trying to increase awareness about the dangers of AI in automation stating that 52 00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:38,560 bad super intelligences could become a massive threat to our way of life in as 53 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,159 little as 5 years so what can we say about the internet of things then I 54 00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:44,360 guess well it has the potential to increase ease and efficiency of Our 55 00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,519 Lives by a large margin in the coming years and could potentially save lives 56 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:53,040 with instant reporting from devices that monitor our health but with an increase 57 00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:56,480 in automation comes a legitimate threat to the jobs of the masses and a 58 00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,159 Potential Threat to our overall health and safety with advantage in artificial 59 00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:04,920 intelligence so let's just hope that we can maintain you know those 60 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:09,519 intelligences as friends like Jarvis and keep uh you know the whole Skynet 61 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:13,159 situation from ever entering our reality speaking of
