The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) revealed the vitality of "things" for the first time, elevating people's understanding of the "objective material world" to a technological level.
After the Internet comes the Internet of Things. Human-machine interaction, interaction among people, interaction among things, interaction between things and people... The concept of universal connection and universal development of the material world has become a widespread technology in today's society.
The Internet of Things has arrived just in time. When resource scarcity has become a bottleneck restricting the economy, rational use of natural resources and scientific planning of economic development become urgent tasks. The IoT can truly "make the best use of everything" through technological means; as Made in China becomes an indispensable engine of the global economy, the IoT can exchange and communicate any product's information to achieve intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring, and management of items. The IoT's magic lies in freeing product and goods management from human factors, reducing heavy manual labor, saving a large amount of multiplied manpower, avoiding human errors, and achieving a special meaning of "making the best use of human talents."
The emergence of the IoT revealed the vitality of "things" for the first time, elevating people's understanding of the "objective material world" to a technological level: when a driver makes an operational error, the car will automatically alarm; a briefcase will remind its owner of forgotten items; clothes will "tell" the washing machine about color and water temperature requirements. When overloaded, the car will automatically inform the driver of the overload and by how much, but also that there is still space left, advising how to arrange heavy and light cargo; when a handler unloads goods, a package might "shout" "You hurt me by throwing me!"; when the driver chats with someone else, the truck will pretend to be the boss's voice and angrily shout, "Idiot, it's time to depart!"
Perception, this abstract philosophical concept, in the IoT era, will become widely applied sensing technology. Various sensors are embedded and equipped in power grids, railways, bridges, tunnels, highways, buildings, water supply systems, dams, oil and gas pipelines, and other facilities. Then, the IoT is integrated with the existing Internet to realize the integration of human society and physical systems. In this integrated network, a super-powerful central computer cluster manages and controls personnel, machines, equipment, and infrastructure in real time. On this basis, humans can manage production and life more finely and dynamically, achieving a "smart" state, improving resource utilization and productivity, and enhancing the relationship between humans and nature.
Ubiquity, this more abstract modern concept, in the IoT era, will realize seamless connection between humans and the material world. It is characterized by being omnipresent, all-encompassing, and omnipotent, aiming to enable smooth communication anytime, anywhere, between anyone and any object. This effectively promotes traditional industry development, improves information technology and network service levels, and addresses imbalances in information infrastructure development between regions and urban-rural areas. Government departments determine strategic goals for developing ubiquitous networks, formulate development plans and implementation strategies, and organize production, academia, and research units to strengthen research on related technologies, products, and standards. By enhancing market supervision, they create a favorable policy and market environment for new technologies and applications.
IoT, this late-blooming technological revolution, has made great contributions to the scientific development of China's economy. At Shanghai Pudong Airport, over 30,000 sensor nodes cover the ground, fences, and low-altitude detection, preventing personnel from climbing over, illegal crossing, terrorist attacks, and other aggressive intrusions. In Suzhou Science and Technology City, Jiangsu Province, China's first high-speed rail IoT technology application center developed the world's largest ticketing system, capable of handling 3 billion passengers annually. Similarly, at the Xijing Substation in Wuxi, Jiangsu, an IoT-based sensing and control network was established, achieving true "unmanned monitoring and inspection." In Guangzhou, the combination of mobile terminals and e-commerce allows consumers to interact conveniently with merchants, experience brand quality anytime and anywhere, creating a new zero-contact, highly transparent, and risk-free purchasing experience—not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast.
The world is material, matter is in motion, moving matter follows laws, and laws can be understood—the entire category of dialectical materialism. Thanks to the role of the IoT, a whole new world will be expanded for humanity in the new century.
