Review of Impact of Internet of Things on Our Lives

There are many benefits of Internet of Things ( IoT) in today’s technological era, but we must also remember that with benefits there also con’s, these may involve also challenges and problems that simple can’t be left aside.

Our ability to access information is one of the things that IoT enables us to do, without the internet we wouldn’t be able to have vast amounts of information provided to us to aid us in our every day life. This is because of the network of these devices that give us this access to every part of this world, this makes every day life more efficent as we don’t need to be their to learn about certain situations. We have access anywhere we go improving our knowledge and making us a humans devolop more and more.

Interconnected devices over networks allow us to communicate with each other as efficent as possible, even if we are connected to machinery or computers we are allowed to send messages and communicate freely over a common network, in big corporations the interconnected devices allow the transfer of data flow efficiently allowing us to allocate time in different sector’s that we’re not available to us before the advances in IoT. This has an effect to make tasks more cost-effective as this saves time and money transferring packets of data over a network.

A crucial benefit to IoT is the Automation of devices, this is needed to complete tasks without human interaction being needed, this helps boost time and quallity of service, becoming more efficent for a business to use.

With the share of information over these devices becomes an issue of privacy and security, as we share countless amounts of informations accross platforms that anyone can access personal information can be leaked or even hacked. Security is a big aspect as we become more connected to these devices the transfer of information that is personal to us is shared amongst them, giving us a sence of vunerability, people you never met before know you in some way or form due to this, making your data accesible isn’t always a good thing.

The complexity of the networks of IoT is interesting, as a loophole in this data can cause an effect to all the networks in this system. This loophole of information is a dangerous factor of the internet.

With the automation of devices by interconnected methods isn’t always good as it effects people’s lives, as we can now do things without our interaction jobs are being made redondant and people are loosing forms of income. This is noticible as the number of jobs are decreasing due to thing’s being made easier by machines, the loss in jobs has an effect on people’s professions as human labour isn’t required.

Our dependability on IoT is also effecting us as technology advances we rely more and more on it to assist us, this has become a big part of our lives. If we don’t know the answer to situations we turn to technology to provide it for us. If we become to dependant on this technology it will impact us negatively, even my use of the computer to complete assignment’s or for entertainment has effected my social life as well as my physical day to day living, I’ve had to start wearing glasses because my eye sight is becoming poor due to my dependancy of the computer for happiness, negatively effecting my day to day life.
