The goal of Internet of Things is to combine the virtual and physical world. Everyday objects can learn to "think" and communicate with each other over the Internet. The stand-alone computer is being replaced more and more by "intelligent things," or many smaller computers in objects.
This concept works over "Radio Frequency Identification" (RFID). This small electronic data storage or transponder is installed in various objects and can be read or written by using radio waves. Each transponder contains a specific number called "Electronic Product Code" (EPC), with which the respective object can be uniquely identified worldwide. With RFID technology, an object can be read remotely and tracked individually from a great distance. Depending on the radio frequency, it can be reached up to several hundred meters in range. Today this technique is applied in different contexts, such as toll systems, animal identification in agriculture or electronic locks.
4. Ubiquitous computing- sensors, processors
and actuators that are connected to each
other can cause and control actions.
Everyday objects that are equipped with this
connection are able to include environmental
information and act on this basis.

Internet of Things Elements
PROBLEM
With Internet of Things, humans and the
Internet should not only be connected,
but all information of each object or
subject should be available and accessible
in the network.
How can this work?
SOLUTION
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) This
technology uses radio transmission for
reading data without physically touching it
and manages information (storing original
data and automatically supplementing).
7. UbiquitousComputing(UC)
is described as processing digitized information
outside of computers by integrating logic and
information technology in everyday objects and
processes.
Pervasive Computing(PC)
is described as the complex and full networking
of everyday life with the help of smart objects.
INTERNET OF THINGS
Internet of Things Elements
The Internet of things
In addition to having technical logic and
environment awareness, objects are able
to act independently within the network
(ambient intelligence).
The focus is on handling data
autonomously.
8. INTERNET OF THINGS
Humans Fall into the Background and Objects are Pushed to the Forefront
INTERNET OF THINGS
Devices are equipped with sensors and Internet access
Independent of humans: autonomic communication
The computer as a device is replaced by intelligent
machines
INTERNET OF HUMANS
Humans control Internet use in order to collect information
Humans can also access the Internet on smartphones
9. INTERNET OF THINGS
Capabilities of Objects and Systems
Embedded: integration into human
environment
Context awareness: perception of the
user’s situational context
Personalization: tailored to the user’s
needs
Adaptability: changes depending on
requirement
Anticipation: foresees the user's
request

Companies benefit by reducing costs,
improving efficiency and making good
use of resources
Improves quality of life
Data storage
Pro contra
A human loses autonomy, freedom of
choice and control; everything is taken
over by networking and machine
intelligence
Unmanageable complexity
High requirement for maintaining device

14. ETHICAL BACKGROUND
Internet of Things influence on humanity
Loss of intellectual property and the ability to make
decisions
No more recourse to personal intuition, knowledge
or experience
Loss of ability to adapt to specific circumstances
and situations
No conscious design of the world
Full reliance on technology
The Result:
Predictable and boring life
Loss of overview on actions
Loss of self-reliant, autonomous orientation in the
world
