1.1 INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND

As technology moves forward at lightning speed, it is really easy to overlook the complete impact of technology in today’s world. As we have seen in automobiles’ invention, it made it possible to travel long distances in hours rather than days. All inventions from the wheel to the compass, clock, steam engine, and several other inventions have made our lives simpler than even kings used to have in the past. It is believed that the invention of wheel made today’s automobile possible. But if we look a couple of centuries back, the automobile was a fantasy. Similarly, the Internet is believed to be a new wheel that brings a radical change in our society. Already technological advancements have changed everything from how we consume information to economic transactions [1,2,3] taking place throughout the world. Millions of transactions are taking place every second, and a zettabyte of data is getting consumed [4,5]. As Steve Jobs said, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward.” Thus, today’s fantasy on IoT will be a reality of tomorrow.

Human inventions started from simpler ones like the wheel Archimedes screw, to many complex ones like telephones, cameras, smartphones, automobiles, flying machines, etc. All these inventions have made their position in society with massive changes in all domains from political to social. These inventions have settled in people’s daily lives so profoundly that it makes it impossible for us to appreciate their importance (similar to how we appreciate the eyes or hands). Looking back at the past, we can say, not many people imagined a device like a smartphone which could also be used as a remote to control cars, helps seek answers, and who knows, might be a nuclear detonator also. These inventions have rewired the whole civilization and have reset our way of life.

Joe M. Bohlen, along with George M. Beal and Everett M. Rogers in 1957, presented the notion known as the technology adoption curve, as shown in Figure 1.1. They formulated the concept that every invention/solution/product follows a predictable path that can be traced back to the classical normal distribution, also known as the bell curve [6]. The distribution consists of innovators followed by early adopters to laggards. The formulated model still holds, but the period has accelerated at lightning speed, from century to decades, to years, and now into months. Internet of things [7] is hanging between innovators and early adopters. In the future, it will be the backbone of life and businesses. Connected devices have existed since the introduction of computer networks and consumer electronics. But it wasn’t until the Internet was introduced that researchers worldwide started to theorize a well-connected network of devices spread all around the earth with which humans can communicate and interact. A couple of years back, this fantasy started to become a reality in labs that now can be seen in everyday households; we call it the Internet of things.

FIGURE 1.1 Technology adoption curve.

Experts suggest that IoT is the second wave of the digital revolution [8,9] after computers and the Internet in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively. It is really hard to find the exact moment which led to this wave of digital revolution, but trend markers indicate Apple’s iPhone introduction in 2007 starting a domino effect. It gave enormous power in the hands of the user with point-to-point communication and digital applications.

Now, smartphones consist of multiple sensors from microphone, camera, motion sensors, GPS, and many more, along with high computation power. These smartphones can serve as a dashboard [10,11] and/or remote control for IoT devices. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has also come a long way [12,13,14,15], with which we can tag or track objects along with cloud computation which can serve as a door to the future. We generate more than 2.5 Quintillion bytes of data each day, and the rate of data generation is only increasing with time. With IoT in place, data collection will take the next steps which have never been explored before, from tracking animals, insects, birds, or viruses and finding patterns in nature which humans could not understand before due to its complexity. It is like finding a new dimension with all previous physics rules, which makes it open to exploration.

IoT can help us understand intricate patterns [16] or real-time [17] conditions of bridges, roadways, buildings, or super-efficient tracking systems, where the sky is the limit. The generation of new data from sensors has unexplored usage. This will allow big data and machine learning to play an important role in solving complex problems that used to be impossible earlier.

Today machine learning [18] has already settled in our life from Internet search to music recommendations. It has crossed the early adopter’s mark in technological life cycle couple of years back, but with the combination of IoT and machine learning, it is still at the innovator’s stage. However, the next phase won’t be in years but rather months, after breaking the necessary data collection threshold. The race to collect IoT data [19,20,21,22,23] has already begun with smartphones, smartwatches, and smart speakers. New IoT devices are being theorized from old devices every day. The race to make smart electronics for the user has already begun, but the race path is still being explored. Devices such as smart bulbs, smart washing machines, or smart cars are just the tip of the iceberg in the world of IoT. The future of IoT with machine learning will change education [92,94], business, personal life, and politics [26] forever, probably for good. All technologies are dangerous in the wrong hands, and the amalgam of IoT with machine learning is no different [24,25].

The general rule in any revolution is that some people win and some people lose. IoT will make winners and open doors for new opportunities for them. But unfortunately, it will make many jobs of the current-era completely obsolete. Any potential gain of opportunity comes with plenty of challenges in IoT. A severe threat to privacy [27,28] hangs in danger, if the right actions in due time are not taken. Privacy-concerned potential weapons [29,30] for warfare, using the said technology, can be more dangerous than anything before. It won’t be a surprise to know that development of such applications has already started in the background.

In this chapter, we have discussed the future, present, and past of Digital Twin Technology. IoT itself has immense potential to change the world, but the combination of IoT with machine learning has far more potential than anything else. The applications, technologies, and security of IoT products that deal with massive data are discussed thoroughly. All the machine learning models have very specific usage, and hence, their place in IoT systems is also essential. We have discussed all machine models used in IoT and the different methods to transfer data with their appropriate application in the chapter, along with IoT security infrastructure.

1.2 DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY

Machine learning has started to take its place in IoT systems [31], but due to certain limitations, its progress is slow. IoT data for machine learning is collected using two different methods, namely, stream and accumulated ...
