Overview of Internet of Behavior (IoB)

Prerequisite : Internet of Things(IoT)

Internet of things is playing a vital role in todays growing world. The data collected by the IoT devices provide valuable information about users behavior, interests and preference. This has brought a new way for technology that is called as Internet of Behavior in short IoB. The shift to mobile devices has changed the whole way of interaction of world. Now a days if we will see an individual’s day start with some IoT enabled digital devices and also ends with those IoT devices. Not only IoT devices provides services but also each moment IoT tries to make human’s life more easier and more comfort by improving it’s service. So, the data these IoT devices collect and later on analyzing it extracts valuable information about users behavior, interests and preferences. So, this was the point from where and when this IoB came into the picture. 

Seeing the current scenario of the country the pandemic is the temporary reason that  IoB  is in the list of latest trends. 

So, lets take a deep look at the Internet of Behaviors, its features, and finally the advantage and disadvantages of IoB.
