00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.160
The Internet of Things is a pretty broad concept overall it's the name given to

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:10.880
the interconnection of everyday devices from appliances in your home to

00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:15.080
automobiles with built-in sensors all the way up to biochip transponders in

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:19.840
farm animals and heart monitoring imp plants and humans essentially it is the

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:24.560
way that machines communicate with each other in order to improve Automation and

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

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

00:00:30.759 --> 00:00:35.719
receive its name until 1999 the first

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:38.840
internet Appliance was actually a Coke machine at Carnegie melon University in

00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:43.840
the early 1980s of course this was a pretty basic

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:47.079
implementation of internet connectivity but the programmers were able to

00:00:45.559 --> 00:00:52.120
remotely check if the machine was functioning and even check the stock of

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

00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:00.760
concept for off-site monitoring of physical things now though we have

00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:05.159
advanced by leaps and bound since the 1980s The Internet of Things is actually

00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:09.560
still pretty limited compared to what it could be and at this point might even be

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:14.640
seen as a gimmick to the uninformed individual but it is growing in many

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

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:22.759
video So today we're going to focus on how the Internet of Things is impacting

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:24.799
Automobiles and our homes so cars now

00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:28.280
have sensors that measure performance indicators like tire pressure fuel

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:32.479
economy and various engine levels like oil pressure and temperature and some

00:01:30.119 --> 00:01:36.200
high-end cars can even receive firmware updates that add new or improved

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.079
features a great example of this is the model S from Tesla Motors owners of this

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.479
car recently received a firmware update that added features like traffic based

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:49.399
navigation and location-based smart air suspension this is a fantastic

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.280
advancement as it allows manufacturers to update and upgrade their products

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:58.399
post launch rather than just adding the feature to the next year's model and

00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:02.079
expecting the consumer to buy that one when it's released company that are

00:02:00.320 --> 00:02:05.799
trying to increase home automation are currently focused on optimizing security

00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.640
and comfort installing internet accessible cameras locking or unlocking

00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:13.280
your doors with a smartphone app and adjusting your thermostat either before

00:02:11.239 --> 00:02:17.400
you get home or before you get out of bed are just three internet-based

00:02:15.519 --> 00:02:22.400
advancements available to homeowners today so to the Carnegie melon

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:25.440
University programmers in the80s this would have seemed like something out of

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:29.560
a bad science fiction movie but it's very real and is only the beginning of

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:34.720
what the Internet of Things is capable of I mean even today most internet and

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:39.239
connected devices require human intervention to really change anything

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:43.400
about them but in the future as more and more things are connected with each

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.879
other they can read off of themselves and each other instead of off of us so

00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.360
the concern then is that if machines are going to become so intelligent and

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:55.800
efficient that they take over most of our day-to-day tasks then where do

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

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:03.920
some of the greatest minds of this age are starting to address with this

00:03:01.959 --> 00:03:08.200
growing implementation of automation earlier this year Bill Gates warned the

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

00:03:09.959 --> 00:03:15.280
determined as drivers waiters nurses and similar professions will be

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:20.040
substantially lower in 20 years than they are today and while it isn't

00:03:17.239 --> 00:03:24.120
directly related to automation of tasks artificial intelligence is also a

00:03:21.640 --> 00:03:28.599
growing concern Elon Musk CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX has recently been

00:03:26.720 --> 00:03:33.560
trying to increase awareness about the dangers of AI in automation stating that

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.560
bad super intelligences could become a massive threat to our way of life in as

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:41.159
little as 5 years so what can we say about the internet of things then I

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:44.360
guess well it has the potential to increase ease and efficiency of Our

00:03:42.799 --> 00:03:48.519
Lives by a large margin in the coming years and could potentially save lives

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:53.040
with instant reporting from devices that monitor our health but with an increase

00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.480
in automation comes a legitimate threat to the jobs of the masses and a

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:00.159
Potential Threat to our overall health and safety with advantage in artificial

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:04.920
intelligence so let's just hope that we can maintain you know those

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:09.519
intelligences as friends like Jarvis and keep uh you know the whole Skynet

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:13.159
situation from ever entering our reality speaking of intelligence linda.com
