The way i will define IoT (Internet of Things) might not be exactly how you have come across it before now. So i will define internet of things and then go into some of the things that will be required before anyone consider this technological evolution. Now, internet of things is the inter-connection of devices, both electronic and non ectronic devices, like your fridge at home, your light bulb at home, your house or home, your car, your electric iron, your TVs, and many more devices out there.
What do i mean by their inter-connection? This means you can be confortable at your office and turn off all the light bulbs in yor house by accessing your bulb ip address or you can be at the office or in a meeting and still be able to regulate the temperature of the fridge in your home, this becomes possible because everything is connected.
These are simple, very simple things you can do with this tech evolution, going forward, you can talk about your car being connected to the traffic light, your house being connected to the network and some very advanced cool stuffs that accompany this wonderful evolution. Someone will ask, how does an electric bulb be assigned an ip address? well you asked the right question, for this evolution of tech to happen, these devices will have to be enabled and be capable of supporting the software that will be embedded to activate the software support of this tech. A look at the picture below will help us understand more what am talking about here...

| Inter-connection of different devices |
When we look at the diagram, more questions will be raised, like, what ip addresses will all these devices be using, knowing that currently we are out of ipv4? that`s when the discussion of ipv6 will come into play. It is estimated that the number of ipv6 currently available is able to be assigned to every atom on earth more than 100 times.
This is what will bring about the possibility of this great tech evolution. This is supposed to be one of the infrastructures we will discuss in the later part, but no problem, we will continue the disscussion in the next part, the part 2.
