Once upon a time, in a city far, far away, the citizens woke up one day to find that all of their appliances and devices were connected to the internet. This was the beginning of the “Internet of Things” in the city, also known as IoT.
At first, the citizens were excited about their new smart devices. They could turn on their coffee maker from their bed, turn off the lights with just a voice command, and even control the temperature of their homes from their phone.
However, as time went on, the citizens started to realize that their smart devices were not just making their lives more convenient, but they were also taking over their city. The traffic lights were synchronized to the point that cars were never stopped at red lights, the trash bins were automatically picked up as soon as they were full, and the streetlights turned on and off depending on the amount of sunlight.
One day, a group of mischievous kids decided to hack into the city’s IoT network and change the settings of all the devices. Suddenly, the traffic lights flashed randomly, the trash bins were picked up every 5 minutes, and the streetlights turned on and off every 30 seconds.
The city was in chaos! Cars were crashing, trash was piling up, and no one could see where they were going. The city’s mayor was at a loss and didn’t know how to fix the problem.
When all hope seemed lost, a local tech-savvy teenager stepped in to save the day. They were able to locate the source of the problem and fix it, restoring the city’s IoT network to normal.
The mayor was so grateful that he gave the teenagers the keys to the city and declared them the official IoT experts. From that day on, they were in charge of maintaining and upgrading the city’s IoT network, ensuring it would never cause chaos again.
