What is the internet of things?

As technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate, this is a term that you will hear more and more.

Also known as IoT, the Internet of Things is term used to describe any object that is connected to the internet. The expression is also used to describe objects that talk to each other.

As technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate, this is a term that you will hear more and more. Consisting of smartphones and many other types of connected devices and automated systems, the Internet of Things gathers information in order to analyse and create action.

Basically, the Internet of Things is all about connecting data, devices and networks in order to enhance communication, improve business processes and of course, bring networks closer together. Many sectors can benefit from IoT, including the automotive and transport industry.

Why do connected devices need to share data?

There are many reasons why connected devices need to share data with one another, but one of the main reasons is to optimise efficiency and cut down on waste.

What are the benefits of IoT?

IoT is currently used across a diverse range of business landscapes. Why? IoT can help businesses of all shapes and sizes to save time and money, whilst streamlining day to day business processes.

At the same time, the Internet of Things also provides lots of opportunities when it comes to responsive interactions in the digital world.

Are there any privacy implications?

Unfortunately, everything that is connected to the internet leaves itself open to being hacked, and IoT products and services are just as at risk. With this in mind, you should always consider investing in the latest security software in order to minimise risk.

And it’s not just privacy that can be a problem. There can also be issues with surveillance too. For example, if a number of different products are connected, there’s the increased potential for unbridled observation of users.

What does the future of IoT look like?

The future continues to look bright for IoT as more and more businesses and households recognise the many benefits that it brings.

For example, there’s an increased amount of speculation that IoT could potentially be used for monitoring, location tracking, recruitment targeting and surveillance in the future.
