The electronic, programmable, and self-learning Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat that optimizes heating and cooling of homes and businesses to conserve energy are quite convenient. Honestly – who doesn’t want one? Some examples: Nest, Ecobee, Netatmo
The latest rage! They are able of voice interaction, music playback, making to-do lists, setting alarms, streaming podcasts, playing audiobooks, and providing weather, traffic, and other real-time information, such as news. They also can go shopping for you – sometimes even if you don’t want anything. Some examples: Amazon Echo + Alexa, Google Home
Turn your lights and electricity on and off from wherever you are – be it from across the house, from the backyard, or from the other side of the world. Some examples: WeMo, Philips Hue
How much did you walk or run? What’s your calorie consumption? How about your heart rate when working out? A fitness tracker has the answer to all of it – and sometimes even more. Some examples: Fitbit, Withings, Garmin
All of the above devices have been deemed valuable by “normal” users – but they also bring risks: What about the time Alexa went on a shopping spree? Or can you remember when IP cams were used to conduct massive DDoS attacks?
The big question probably is: Does the value outweigh the risk and/or do you know how to stay secure? It’s for you to decide.
Hi Avira,
Loved your post, especially that segment where you have covered the behavior pattern of consumers and divided it in 2 types.
Great work. It helped a lot.
Thank You
It’s true that people are talking much more about IoT’s negativity. But at some point, it’s worth. I think with time IoT will grab the attention of people. BTW post was logical, great.
Hi mates, its fantastic post concerning educationand entirely defined, keep it up all the time.
