because of the Internet of Things more
electronic devices are being connected
to the Internet and they’re talking to
each other behind your back
welcome to watchmojo.com and how it’s
becoming a major part of our lives in
ways you probably didn’t know live in
the now number five the Internet of
Things is already in effect the Internet
of Things is an emerging technology
where machines are embedded with sensors
that allow them to relay data to each
other with little to no human
involvement basically it means all sorts
of everyday items are connected to the
Internet which could potentially
transform the way we live one of the
earliest examples of this concept
actually goes back to the early 1970s
when the first ATMs went online some
items you may already own which
incorporate the Internet of Things
include the Apple watch fitbit’s and
smart home appliances like refrigerators
many other items are in the midst of
getting the Internet of Things treatment
like cars and streets which could work
together to facilitate the flow of
rush-hour traffic number four big
businesses are already investing
billions into the concept in 2008 there
were officially more devices connected
to the Internet than there were human
beings and by 2020 that number is
expected to go up to 50 billion
according to Cisco tech companies see a
promising future in the Internet of
Things claiming that it will make
businesses more efficient in a recent
report GE predicted that the IOT will
add as much as fifteen trillion dollars
to the global GDP in the next twenty
years and according to projections by
Business Insider these products will
outperform the tablet PC and phone
market combined for the time being
the largest market will be smart home
technology such as thermostats made by
nest a company Google bought for 3.2
billion dollars according to bi
intelligence the IOT market is estimated
to be worth four hundred ninety billion
dollars by 2019 but this remains
speculative it is possible that
consumers will by and large failed to
see any value in having all their
possessions networked and those
projections will prove grossly overblown
it’s got a computer chip in it
everything does
number three the internet-of-things
could save lives while the IOT will no
doubt make tech giant’s much richer it
might also benefit the rest of us IOT
technology could completely
revolutionize patient care as well as
improve communication between doctors
and their patients for example at the
University of Tokyo researchers have
created an electricity conducting ink
that can be printed onto clothing and
used to measure heart rate or muscle
contractions so people can easily
monitor their own vital signs IOT
technology can also help in emergency
situations if someone has a heart attack
or stroke relevant data from the
patient’s medical history can be sent to
the doctor before the ambulance takes
the patient to the hospital giving
physicians a few more crucial minutes to
figure out the best treatment possible
number two Wi-Fi developments will make
the Internet of Things work better
scientists and engineers from the
University of Washington have invented a
new Wi-Fi system that transmits Wi-Fi
using ten thousand times less power than
current gen routers this could allow for
very low powered sensors to be placed in
just about anything
another system power over Wi-Fi or Poe
Wi-Fi for short allows enabled devices
to convert Wi-Fi signal itself into DC
current yes soon new devices could be
powered by Wi-Fi if engineers could
bring these or other technologies
together devices and appliances could be
interconnected and continue to run on an
energy loop powered by that same Wi-Fi
and this will only make the Internet of
Things more efficient accessible and
convenient for us
number one the internet-of-things could
come with security problems we’re
sweeping every wirelessly accessible
camera on the planet cell phones laptops
if it’s connected to a satellite its
eyes and ears for us though the IOT
looks like it offers countless benefits
there are also some potential security
issues for one it gives companies more
opportunities to invade our privacy for
example the Indian firms silver push has
technology that can track you across
multiple platforms and devices by
embedding tiny sounds into websites or
television programs that while inaudible
to us can be detected by our devices and
that data can be fed back to silver bush
that can’t be true honey if it were I’d
be terrified according to a study by
hewlett-packard 70% of IOT enabled
devices can potentially be hacked kind
of makes you wary of products like
Logitech Smart remotes or the Amazon –
button doesn’t it the fear as unlikely
as it may seem to some is that we
inadvertently end up in a surveillance
state where companies watch over us like
Big Brother so what do you think will
the Internet of Things improve our lives
or lead to a bleak dystopian future

invasive top 5s published every day be

look at the wonders of the computer age
now wonders Lisa or blunders I think
that was implied by what I said
