Let us now summarize all that we read throughout the chapter. First of all, we understood the concept of what an industry is, how it functions and its features and responsibilities. We particularly read about the functioning of the agriculture industry, the manufacturing industry, food processing units, healthcare, military, and information technology industry. Next, we discussed about the technology of blockchain. It is basically storage of information into blocks that are connected to each other; the benefits that this technology offers are security and decentralization of control over all information. Another technology mentioned in this chapter is that of Internet of Things, also called as IoT. This facilitates to establish communication among devices, enabling them to share information and perform task without the need of any human intervention creating smart equipment. Further, we observe how IoT and blockchain when put together find multitude of applications throughout various industries. We see how these technologies have brought about betterment in industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, food processing, healthcare, military, and IT. The scope of these technologies lies beyond industries also. We discussed some everyday applications such as smart homes, improved surveillance cameras, and smart street lighting systems. So, to conclude with, we may say that with the evolution of these technologies and their incorporation throughout various aspects of life, it has brought convenience and specialization into everyday affairs. Tasks and tools that were not even imaginable few years ago have now been made possible with the help of advanced technologies such as IoT and blockchain. A lot of applications have been explored and implemented, and yet, there remains huge scope for further research and development to ease and facilitate our being.
