The Internet Society published a 50 page whitepaper on 15th Oct 2015 for IoT and explored related issues and challenges. The projections for impact of 100 billion connected IoT devices globally by 2025 on the internet and economy.

The Internet of Things usually means scenarios where network connectivity and computing capability of objects,The Issues and Challenges for Adoptation of IoT Products Articles sensors and other everyday items which are usually not considered computers, these devices generate, exchange and consume data with minimum human intervention.

 

The projections and trends for IoT devices may force a shift in thinking about the implications and issues where the most common interaction with the internet comes from passive engagement with connected devices rather than active engagement with content.

 

The Internet of Things means physical devices that connect to each other through internet. Smart devices which can be remotely controlled and monitored, or work automatically, using a variety of software, cameras and sensors. There are several types of smart devices, and more emerging every day. Wearables devices like a fitmess tacker, watch healthcare devices like heart and blood pressure monitors are converting to smart devices as well.

 

The interconnected IoT devices which are poorly secured and connected online potentially affects the security of internet globally. Developers and users of IoT devices and systems hace a collective responsibility to ensure they do not expose users data and the internet itself to potential harm. The user specific data streams collected by IoT devices can expose unique value of specific IoT users, and raises concerns about privacy and potential harm might withhold full adoptation of Internet of Things.

 

The use of IoT devices may raise regulatory and legal issues as well as amplifies existing legal issues around the internet. While regulatory challenges and legal issues are broad and complex in scope, adopting the guidelines of Internet Society for promoting users ability to connect, speak, innovate, share, choose, and trust are core factors for evolving IoT laws and regulations that enable user rights.

 

In spite of all issues, uses of IoT devices is increasing because these products are innovative products and systems and make life easier. There are lots of IoT products coming everyday in market and increasing their user base. There are lots of websites showcasing IoT products and systems in details to further expose such innovative products globally.

 

Ultimately, solutions for maximizing the benefits of the Internet of Things IoT products and systems while minimizing the risks will not be found by engaging in a polarized debate that pits the promises of IoT against its possible threat.
