The applications of this technological development are found in multiple fields. Our daily life is dotted with devices with the possibility of interconnecting. Wherever human activity reaches, IOT will arrive.    Some Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gesture-based voice interfaces<\/strong> could improve the usability of computers.<\/li>\n<li>Devices applicable to <strong>medicine<\/strong> and <strong>health monitoring<\/strong> services could help prevent and treat diseases.<\/li>\n<li>Improvements in <strong>logistics planning<\/strong> systems that could reduce waste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart cars<\/strong> that could park when the driver has left the vehicle in certain smart areas of the city.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensors<\/strong> that can detect environmental pollution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L56aJtVJafs?autoplay=0&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;controls=1&amp;color1=0xffffff&amp;vq=hd720\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Not everything is done, many aspects need to be improved, <strong>security is already one of the most immediate concerns today<\/strong>.
