Internet of Things

The Internet of Things is a system. A system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals/people that are provided with unique identifiers,UID ( an address of the entity) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

a. In your own words, define Internet of Things.

Internet of Things will decrease or eliminate the human interventions because it is computer based, thus more accurate, precise, and more efficient. Internet of Things is a connection in which all of our electronic devices are connected and we can access or control it remotely.

b. What brought this theory about?

The concept started when a modified Coke machine at Carnegie Mellon University was introduced in the early 1982. The machine was able to report its inventory and whether newly loaded drinks were cold. In 1991, Mark Weiser’s  "The Computer of the 21st Century", as well as academic venues such as UbiComp and PerCom produced the contemporary vision of IoT.  In 1994 Reza Raji described the concept in IEEE Spectrum as "small packets of data to a large set of nodes, so as to integrate and automate everything from home appliances to entire factories". Between 1993 and 1996 several companies proposed solutions like Microsoft's at Work or Novell's NEST. However, only in 1999 did the field start gathering momentum. Bill Joy envisioned Device to Device (D2D)communication as part of his "Six Webs" framework, presented at the World Economic Forum at Davos in 1999.

c. Do you like the concept of IoT? Why or why not?

Internet of Things will make our lives easier and make us more productive. Internet of things can also make our economy grow faster. But Internet of Things can also have an error. Our privacy security risk will increase. Hackers can modify the information we need given by the Internet of Things, making Internet of Things very dangerous.

d. In what situations do you encounter IoT in the Philippines?

I encountered Internet of Things when my parents hire cab. They used an app called Uber and Grab to hire taxi/car and monitor its location.

e. How do you think IoT will evolve and affect Filipino society in the next 3 to 5 years?

In the next three to five years, I think that the Filipino society will be more exposed to modernization. The Filipinos will be very dependent in Internet of Things and will have easier lives

f. What do you think is the relationship / cause and effect of IoT in media and information literacy?

With Internet of Things, we can easily identify our problems because it provides us with information in what we needed. Because of that, we can use that information in solving our problems correctly.
