Hello everyone, I'm very happy to participate fully in the first week of season four of the cryptoacademy in the Advanced class where our seasoned crypto-professor @yohan2on explained the innovative ideas of "BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY" AND IT'S RELATIONSHIP WITH "INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)".

This post will centered on the homework tasks given as stated below:

• EXPLAIN THE REASON WHY THE FUTURE OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS DEPENDS ON BLOCKCHAIN
• RESEARCH AND CREATE CONTENT ON THE FOLLOWING IOT BLOCKCHAIN USE CASES:
  FILAMENT

INTRODUCTION

BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Blockchain technology have systematically modify a lot of human endeavors like Financial sectors, entertainment, artistic and intellectual property, Real estate etc. This human activities have witnessed a significant developmental process due to the Incorporation of the innovative services of Blockchain technology.

Owning of the benefits of the Blockchain technology, many human endeavors like the ones mentioned above and more have their project and protocols to be very reliable, transparent, trackable and highly decentralized so as not to be monotonous and poorly directives of a central authority.

The encryption and decryption process of the Blockchain technology and it's immutability have improves the security in those human endeavors as crime and dishonesty have plagued them for years. Blockchain technology have made those activities more secure and attractive.

INTERNET OF THINGS

In a given region, there are many Physical appliances that are present for various reasons like comfortability, leisure or work etc can be connect and exchange data with each other and other devices over the internet and other communication systems. The interconnectivity of these appliances/devices and system with the internet have been improves their services and usage can be aptly refers to as the INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT).

This technological process can be achieved via the embedded several sensors and an enabling software on those devices making their smarter and easy to use. The control of these devices are stress-less approaches and their control are remotely operated by their owners.

WHAT'S THE FUTURE PLANS OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS AND HOW CAN IT BE ACHIEVED WITH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY?

Internet of Things have a technological abilities to encompass all human endeavors as every activities can be technically empowered to achieve their best. These activities of humans have witnessed the Technical power of the internet of things. Although limited in certain areas but they are worthy to be appreciated. Those human activities includes:

• HOUSEHOLD/OFFICE APPLIANCES

Appliances/devices used at homes and offices have been enhanced with embedded sensors and enabling software to be interconnected with each other over the internet. This interconnectivity have improves their services and their capabilities. They are now multitasking and very best in their services. They are easy to be use and can be operated remotely via smartphones etc. There's an enhanced Security in those regions as there's a security alert whenever there's a breach by the intruders with the improvement in the Security architecture of the home and office like the advancement of CCTV project etc. Fire outbreak and other disasterious situations have been checkmated with the help of this important technological process.

• HEALTHCARE

There are many appliances equipped to help people with disabilities like hearing/vision impaired individuals etc. Such appliances makes life easier for them. Voice control appliances and cochlear implants have enhances the hearing capabilities of individuals with impaired hearing abilities. Emergency care have been offered in time to elderly people as they can alert their health care providers thereby saving lives.

• AGRICULTURE

The Security of the farmland and other agricultural services like the soil testing, feed production etc have been improved with the technological advancement of the internet of things. These sectors of the agriculture and more have witness an enhancement ushered in by the internet of things and still have the potential to grow.

• LAND USES MANAGEMENT

Uses at which parcels of lands have been subjected to within a region, cities, countries etc can be managed efficiently via the Internet of things. If these uses both the formal like residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural etc and informal activities are not managed efficiently, there will be havoc and disasters. Which will be injurious to humans. Land records, traffic, houses can be managed efficiently via Technological abilities of the internet of things to avoid dangerous situations like crimes, accident, congestions etc.

INVOLVEMENT OF THE BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY OVER INTERNET OF THINGS IN THE FUTURE

Since both blockchain technology and internet of things are flourishing and "new" sectors that can be enhanced and have potential to be connected with each other to bring out more advantageous technological process.

In the future, there will be more appliances and users over the internet of things, huge data generated can be very slow to be processed (i.e, scalable problem) over the system. Blockchain technology have high scalable power with great and fast processing power can be employed into the internet of things to be very faster and handle vast data generated in their system.

In the area of privacy and Security, although the internet of things are flourishing in the areas but can be enhanced with the cryptographic power of Blockchain so that the data can be highly encrypted, immutable and ready to be use against the intruders/defaulters. The issues of hacking can be avoided too.

Internet of things can be operated at a point over the system but the Blockchain technology enjoys a very good decentralized system which can be employed into the platform of internet of things to be easily manipulated by various nodes of the system. This ability will improve it's operations, Security breach monitored and encourage high effectiveness of the process too.

FILAMENT

FILAMENT is an Internet of things "IOT" company that is based in Reno, Nevada, USA which have developed several hardwares and software that can allow the various devices connected over internet of things to interact with the Blockchain securely. With these interconnectivity, the processing power of those devices are enhanced and handle huge data generated.

Founded on 2012, this company headed by Allison Clift-Jennings, have been designing blockchain based appliances with systems with enterprises and industrial internet of things. Their BLOCKLET CHIP have been a very technological process of the internet of things connected with blockchain technology to do marvelous blockchain uses cases. These blockchain use cases are:

BLOCKCHAIN BASED MANUFACTURING DEVICES
Machinery used in the manufacturing rig/plants of production industries are equipped with BLOCKLET CHIP which can process and records data via it's natives ports and securely "RPID" chip/tags thereby promoting their production speed with greater effectiveness. Huge amount of data can be processed at very slightest fractions of time due the high scalability of the Blockchain technology enjoyed by this devices of the filaments.

BLOCKCHAIN BASED AUTOMOBILE

Blocklet chip and other enhanced chips/devices from the Filament have makes cars smarter as it can interact effectively with the surrounding environment. This ability have improves traffic and tax revenue collection as the chips can interact with the road signs at the collection points on the road and payments executed immediately. Car theft and other criminal activities are checkmated as those embedded devices/chips can remotely monitored the activities inside and outside of the automobiles.

SMART HOMES/OFFICES

Several hardwares and software from Filament with great and wide range sensors are interconnected with homes and offices appliances making them smarter. High Work effectiveness in office. Enhanced Security and data encrypted. Smarter operation of those with soft-touch button as it triggered a whole vast fields of the interconnected devices.

CONCLUSION

Blockchain technology have great technological tendencies to enhances human endeavors and Internet of things have changed the human ways with devices with great technical skills.

The involvement of Blockchain technology over Internet of things have improved the operation of appliances makes them smarter, faster and multitasking.

There's an enhanced Security architecture around us in various places of habitation and activities with the help of internet of things becoming more cryptographically.
