Let’s take a few seconds to think about the future of technology in general: each will have their view of history, but probably most stories will agree that almost all (if not all) electronic components that we have our around are connected, in some way or other, to the Internet. This concept is well known by the name of the Internet of Things , you probably have read about it before.
Now back to the future: you can, thanks to Android (and a few other factors) is deeply integrated into consumers and manufacturers, step to everything around us is connected to the Internet is much closer than we can think and not a mere dream for the future.
This article begins with Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, in BusinessWeek. In the comments that Android is dominating the market for mobile devices, but the most important thing about this is that Hardware manufacturers and software companies are experts in Android : each variant screen, sensor , chip … this fact or was prepared to work with Android, which gives us the ability to take any product and transform Android into whatever you want.
Let’s jump
Android for a moment a way to send data, suppose we want a way to know if all the windows in our house are closed or how much we weigh today, for example. Thanks to Bluetooth Smart (also known as Low Energy for low power consumption), a technology that specializes in designing products that need to send or receive a particular data and a device that is ready to use Bluetooth Smart we know at the moment. Let’s add this to Android will start supporting natively Bluetooth Smart , and then we have an ideal result for developers to connect their products with the Android ecosystem gigantic form.
Yes, the Internet of Things could take off thanks to Android and Bluetooth Smart : the potential of the technology has only just born with devices like GPS receivers or cardiac sensors, since we could implement any Bluetooth Smart sensor that we can imagine. Check the temperature of the oven, check if someone has entered the garden of our house or whether the washing machine that we have just now finished from our Android would be perfectly feasible with this system.
And all this, it seems that Android will have little competition at the moment in this area : among currently nobody is interested in Microsoft platforms (in the words of Philip Desautels), and Apple seems to be “disinterested” in run products that are not Apple iOS, Android has all the way for progress in this field in the absence of another opponent decides to dig deep. The point is that Google part with a great advantage in developing this concept thanks to Android has a huge user base, support from manufacturers …
There is a kind of law that says that if something can have an Internet connection, you will be connected to the Internet The future seems to be aimed at it. provide an interconnection between all the devices we use, whatever they are, and mobile devices seem to be the perfect gateway to the user (that is something we carry with us all day and well connected). Google Android has a long way done, besides submitting projects along that line as Android @ Home.
Everything indicates that the time when our mobile phone is the door to our house will come sooner than later, and Android is presented as the perfect candidate to fill the position of the target. What will surprise us in the future? What do you expect as a result of all this? 19
