The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept that describes a future where every day physical objects will be connected to the Internet and be able to identify themselves to other devices. The term is closely identified with radio frequency identification as the method of communication, although it also may include other sensor technologies, wireless technologies or quick response codes. The IoT is significant because an object that can represent itself digitally becomes something greater than the object by itself. No longer does the object relates just to you, but is now connected to surrounding objects and database data. Another way we can understand internet of things is the network of physical objects accessed through the Internet. These objects contain embedded technology to interact with internal states or the external environment. In other words, when objects can sense and communicate, it changes how and where decisions are made, and who makes them.
Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every 18 months since the invention of IC technology in 1958. The law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore a cofounder of the reputed INTEL Corporation. This article was published on the 19 th April 1965 in the electronics magazine. His prediction has proven to be accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development. The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras. All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well. This exponential improvement has dramatically enhanced the impact of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy. Moore's law describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Although this trend has continued for more than half a century, Moore's law should be considered an observation or conjecture and not a physical or natural law. Sources in 2005 expected it to continue until at least 2015 or 2020.However, the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has growth slowing at the end of 2013, after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every three years and not 18 months as it is now. This is primarily due to the non-reduction of gate length less than 22nm and hence the transistor size is not altered. Another major hurdle is troubleshooting the error in the circuit if any one tiny transistor fails.
Gadget My idea of a gadget is a Magic bed.
How it works. This is a bed that contains sensors, baby songs and lullabies, and vibration. It also has an application built for it on the android powered device. The magic bed works in the following ways. A child lays on it sleeping, when the child awakes and starts crying, the sensors sense and triggers the child tunes (lullabies), these songs try to calm the baby and the vibrator does act like the mummys hands swinging the baby from left to right and vice versa. If the baby continues to cry it sends a notification to an android app on the phone notifying the mum that the baby is awake.
Research. Statement of the problem I have observed that when mothers are busy working in the back yard. They mighty find it difficult to hear the baby cry as it awakes from its sleep. So this magic bed helps curdle the baby and try to keep it calm till mummy arrives to the babies rescue.
Data collection. I did collect my data about the above given problem primarily. Went house to house carrying out Surveys, handing in Questionnaires to mothers and also did some personal interviews with home wives.
