How many times had this happened to them... They left their house, they were already far away and suddenly remembered that they had left a device on. They had no choice: they had to turn back to remedy the oversight before it was too late.
Smart plugs have been available for a while now for some absent-minded people like you. They connect their appliances to these devices and can switch them on or off remotely via an internet-connected telephone.
In a very simplified example, this is what the "Internet of Things" or "Internet of Things" (IoT) is all about; a revolution in the relationship between objects and people, including the relationship between objects and each other.
In this digitalised world, we can now control almost everything from the Internet.
Using the mobile phone, we can plan the cleaning of the home with a robot hoover, simulate the presence of people in the house by programming the lighting on and off in advance, or operate the heater, air conditioning or a toaster, without having to move from where we are.
In a new edition of La Mesa TIC, Nicolás Gutiérrez Brum (Microsoft), Jorge Pereyra (Netgate-Expand), Sebastián Vergara (IBM, solutions architect, Innovation Lab leader) and Oscar Zagarzazú (Antel) talk about the "Internet of Things".
