The Impact Of The Internet Of Things

This paper gives a clear understanding on the current state of art on the IoT. The primary idea of the IoT concept is the pervasive existence around us of a wide range of things such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, actuators, sensors, mobile phones, etc. These are able to communicate with each other and collaborate with their neighbors to reach collective goals through distinctive addressing scheme.

GPS, drones, spying, and nuclear war are all capabilities of the everyday items around us. These “normal” devices such as an iPhone or computer are all part of an enormous web infrastructure called the internet of things (IOT). The internet of things is a link between the online world and the physical world through connected devices which can achieve physical accomplishments such as taking a pulse. The Internet of things was said to have been discovered in 1999 during a presentation at Procter and Gamble. When Business moguls were trying to find a way to make the internet profitable, they manufactured the term internet of things. Ironically, IOT tracked its usage of term online through “Google Trends”. According to Google, since 2004 IOT was

The world is getting smarter and better and so are the devices. With the improved technology, we can check our mails on our watch; control our home temperature through our smartphone and much more. The term Internet of Things is referred to any object or device which connects to the Internet to automatically send and/or receive data [1].

Internet of Things (IoT) are devices that can collect and share data with no human interactions. IoT are machines that connect to other machines. Examples of IoT’s are fitness trackers that report to a smart phone, smart vacuum cleaners that are self- propelled, and Apps for your smart phone that can adjust lighting, temperature or security features at your house when you are away.

“In a few decades’ time, computers will be interwoven into almost every industrial product”, said computer scientist pioneer Karl Steinbuch in 1966. Steinbuch’s prediction couldn’t be closer to the truth. Today we see the “Internet of Things” (IoT), which is the concept that modern devices are provided with “unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring any human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction” (Rouse, 2014). Wireless technologies, the internet, and various other types of computer networks have converged to form the IoTs as we know it. The Internet of Things is a complex technical and policy-related subject, and impacts everything from politics and the environment, to society and the economy.

Data is more pervasive than ever. In the new Hyperconnected World underpinned by the Internet of Things (IoT), people and things are increasingly connected. By 2020, there will be 50 billion networked devices. As individuals – whether on a personal level or representing their organizations – communicate and socialize more online and on mobile, a whole new collection of data will become available. This level of connectivity will have profound social, political and economic consequences.

The Internet of Things is quickly becoming a reality in our world, but most people don’t really know what it is or how it affects your daily life. According to Forbes.com the Internet of Things is “Simply put, this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of.” The examples listed are only a small number of items the will be a part of the Internet of Things. The daily life of a person will be affected in greater ways than initially believed. The Internet of things already has an impact on transportation and that impact is growing quickly. The connection of the Internet of Things and transportation has already affected the lives of many people. Being by GPS and airplane flight scheduling and train scheduling to name a few convivences that we didn’t even realize were a part of the Internet of Things. These convivences make our lives much easier, but with these luxuries come with areas that need to be discussed as described by Berman and Cerf in their article about the Internet of Things. These being, Policies for the Internet of Things safety, security, and privacy. Legal framework for determining appropriate behavior. Human rights and ethical behavior in the Internet of Things. Human rights and ethical behavior in the Internet of Things. Lastly,

What is IoT? The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. IoT allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. 3Rishab

In this essay I will argue that the Internet of Things (IoT) will be the downfall of our privacy. Internet of things is the anticipated future! A future where everyone has dozens of very small, very low-power devices with CPUs, sensors and radios. This leaves room for a lot of interesting work to be done, but nobody seems to have asked the question "Do we really want an Internet of

The Internet of Things is a simple concept. Simply put, the Internet of Things involves “connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet” (Morgan, 2017). This includes anything and

The Internet of things (IOT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

This paper looks at the security concerns that the Internet of Things, or IOT carries along with it. The Internet of Things is defined as “a proposed development of the Internet in which everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data” This increasing level of connectivity and interconnectivity certainly makes everyday tasks easier for the average person, but at the same time, it makes finding holes in security measures easier as well. The Internet of Things is said to have been “in the works” in the 1990’s. In 1999, the term “Internet of Things” is created by Kevin Ashton, the executive director of Auto-ID. Auto-ID is an academic research network pertaining to the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things took a huge step with the use and introduction of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification). RFID really pushed the future of the Internet of Things, as it has a direct relationship to what the Internet of Things is all about, the communication between devices and objects. An example of this is an RFID tag being embedded in an intermodal container full of fruit, and arriving/departing a specific port at a shipping depot. Once the container passes a designated point, the time of arrival/departure, temperature in the container, days until expiration, and other key information.

The Internet of Things is a complex, innovative system rooted in the idea of connectivity. Individual artifacts that transmit data and information amongst each other ensure a smooth and coherent experience based off their ability to communicate through internet connection, sharing the same network to create incomparable efficiency and convenience. The Internet of Things is constantly developing to work in new areas and scenarios, further securing its essentiality in the domain of the technological future

IOT is one such emerging technology that fulfills such human desires at a large scale. A recent study by ABI Research states that there are more than 10 billion wirelessly connected devices in the market today and over 30 billion devices are expected by 2020 [4]. For example, nowadays we have smart home technologies, smart

1.1 In 2008 the number of things on the internet surpassed the number of people utilising it, with an estimate of 50 billion active devices by 2020. The Internet of Things (IOT) consists of any objects such as homes, cars or even walking sticks that are able to register external data and communicate this information, usually wirelessly, it has received via its sensors to other devices. Objects on the IOT will be uniquely detectable and allow users to remotely manipulate them via existing networks which will allow for greater data retrieval that is more accurate and increased efficiency of processes.
