The Internet of Things (IoT), also called the Internet of Everything or the Industrial Internet, is a new technology paradigm envisioned as a global network of machines and devices capable of interacting with each other. The IoT is recognized as one of the most important areas of future technology and is gaining vast attention from a wide range of industries (Lee, & Lee, 2015). It can also be explained as the network of physical objects likes devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enables these objects to collect and exchange data.

This IoT provides high level of awareness about the world to us. This can helped in many sectors like smarter natural disaster management, smarter urban management and smarter healthcare. The unpredictable disasters have harmed us in many ways. Due to this presence of IoT, we can have ability to predict and forest fires before we get out of control or even begin. This same concept applies equally to the smarter detection of and reaction to mudslides, avalanches, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Next, we can have also automating traffic management to the urban. For simple example, we can build applications that intelligently guide cars to open spots. In the same way, we can have wearable devices that detect a host of health problems, potentially before they even occur. The use of IoT has huge that can be helpful us in many ways.

If tech experts are to be believed, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the world. This is software built to learn or problem solves that processes typically performed in the human brain. The system slowly has automated all the happenings; which could transform the way we work by replacing humans with machines and software. For instance; the development has resulted to self-driving cars in order to make driving a thing of the past. The primary emphasis is on the development of a system of programs for processing sensory data from the vehicle, for storing relevant information about the environment, and for planning the sequence of motor actions necessary to accomplish tasks in the environment (Nilsson, 1969). To sum up, AI will take dominate in the future as it has a massive investment now. In the future, we are likely to see Smart cities, connected cars, Smart home which will help to manage, control and monitor.
