What is the Internet of Things (IoT)? The internet of things (IoT) is a technical concept that outlines the fate of how everything in today’s information age that is physically connected on day-to-day basis will be connected to the internet as an enabler of being able to recognize themselves to other entities. IoT is remarkable in such a way that entities will not just be entities like we know them to be but then all these entities surrounding us will be more advanced in such a way that they will be connected to a network. These entities in relation to IoT will be able to receive, transmit and send data then act upon the data that they received from the users. The first engagement that scientists had with the IoT was in the 1980’s at the university of Carnelge Melon where programmers or scientists where able to connect to a soft drink machine at a remote location in which they were able to gain access to the machines knowledge in the hopes of equipping the user with knowledge as to if whether or not the flavour that they wanted was available or not so that the user does not waste their time by walking all the way to that specific machine only to find that the machine does not have the flavoured drink that they wanted. This in essence shows that the IoT gradually narrates a globe where by everything will gradually change in terms of intelligence where we will end up having very huge information systems due to all the connections that will be surrounding entities and devices to bring about a new, better and innovative way of doing things since Ashton (2009) stated that if we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things using data they gathered without any help from us, we would be able to track and count every... ... middle of paper ... ...an be attained and business opportunities can be brought about in firms from foreign nations. Conclusion The IoT is a new era of technology that enables users to connect to their devices like they have never done before. This in essence provides users with data based on their surroundings, health and businesses. IoT comes with its own challenges such as the lack of security which is a very huge concern to large corporations because with all the information that will be available online, firms that do not go the extra mile to ensure that their systems do not have back doors will be victim to hackers and denial of service attacks. But with that said, firms will be able to improve their business processes and be exposed to new ways of doing things that they will in turn have an impact on their revenue by increasing the number of sales and customers that a company has.

I envision a future where all the physical objects in our living spaces are mapped to the digital world. Technology has advanced to an extent where hardware and software can be embedded into anything. Circuits have become smaller and smaller over the years. Sensors and micro-computers have shrunk in s...
In this day and age,we tend to rely on artificial intelligence such as Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa to guide us in our daily lives.In the essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid” by Nicholas Carr,this type of technological advancement is coined as “intellectual technology”. According to Carr, intellectual technology is “what the sociologist Daniel Bell has called our intellectual technologies—the tools that extend our mental rather than our physical capacities—we inevitably begin to take on the qualities of those technologies”(4).What Carr means is that the internet is the tool we use to find information,to gather ideas to share knowledge, to make precise calculations only that we can expand on what we already know. Taking the definition of intellectual technology into consideration, we can see that as

Ito notes that the algorithms that create E.I. are trained by humans and can propagate the same biases that plague society, perpetuating them under the guise of “smart machines (Ito).” Ito’s purpose is to inform his audience of the potential danger of technology that is meant to advance our well-being.
The emerging ubiquitous information society also known as ambient intelligence, ubiquitous networking, or pervasive computing raises content dependent concerns of trust and privacy issues). Ambient intelligence an approach that combines intelligence user interfaces and ubiquitous computing (Brey, 2006). While some call ambient intelligence more human version of ubiquitous computing and maybe the successor an information technology aimed at integrating computation into the environment to computing everywhere embedded in objectives in an unobtrusive and invisible way (Brey, 2006).

The technological field has advanced to something far more than what people could have imagined just a half a century ago. The technological revolution has changed the lifestyle of societies just as the Industrial revolution changed the lifestyle of Europe. Who would have imagined the Internet and computers in most homes, when a computer could barely fit into an entire building, much less intelligent machines? Artificial Intelligence is an intriguing technology that will shape the human lifestyle of the future. Restricting research and progress in the field is hardly a feasible task in today's world. More realistically, we should monitor and keep the technology in a realistic and safe progression.
We live in a world that can’t live without binary code anymore. Computers have pervaded so deep in our lives that they are now being called ubiquitous. With phenomenal increase in users, has come a phenomenal increase in data. We generate a vast amount of data through activities on our computing devices making it necessary to employ intelligent algorithms which enable the system to learn from and analyze this vast dataset. Fortunately, the advent of Distributed Computing has created avenues to access virtually limitless computing power even through mobile devices thus, allowing us to use highly complex and large scale algorithms. However, with all this power under the hood, it is important to make the computers as usable and receptive to users as possible. I believe this interdisciplinary paradigm will have far reaching impact on industries, governments as well as our daily lives which is why I am so interested in research concerning Information Management and Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Human Computer Interaction, and Mobile and Internet Computing.
The Internet of Things (IOT) is a system of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The IOT creates an opportunity to measure or monitor a large

It has seen this with how “Technology is enabling researchers to make new discoveries that are changing our understanding of nutrition.” (Agrawal, AJ) Then again, with how technology changes “As awareness around these issues continue to grow, innovative entrepreneurs will identify solutions. Froozer is one company that is working to innovate food production and mitigate food waste.” (Agrawal, AJ) And the most popular is with how “Social media and smartphones have connected consumers to information about the harmful effects of certain ingredients, the source of products, and how things are made.” (Agrawal, AJ) Plus stuff we are working on now that will become huge in the future, such as “Lab-grown foods and smart tools for personalized healthy nutrition are already a reality and they will be further developing” (Belan, Kate). “As conscious food consumption grows, numerous food-related platforms, apps and tools will appear massively” (Belan, Kate). Bringing the upcoming of how “Bars and restaurants will use technology to provide customers with data-based fast services or immersive emotional experiences beyond the taste of food and drinks” (Belan, Kate). Plus, “The ‘Internet of Things’—app-connected smart devices—will find their places in the kitchen too.” (Belan, Kate) “Food 3D-printers and nanopackaging may revolutionize the way the dishes are cooked and how the
In our society, there has been a revolution which competes that of the industrial revolution. It is called technological revolution. At the top of the technological revolution is what we call, the Internet. In the following report we will be discussing about what the internet is about in general and how it might be in the future, why it is necessary in our everyday lives, and why has it become so important to everyone (i.e. companies, individuals ).
...MENT ENCOURAGEMENT OF GLOBAL BUSINESS FOREIGN GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGEMENT Governments also encourage foreign investment. The most important reason to encourage investment is to accelerate the development of an economy. An increasing number of countries are encouraging investments with specific guidelines toward economic goals. MNCs may be expected to create local employment, transfer technology, generate export sales, stimulate growth and development of the local industry. US GOVENRMENT ENCOURAEMENT The US government is motivated for economic as well as political reasons to encourage American firms to seek opportunities in the countries worldwide. It seeks to create a favorable climate for overseas business by providing the assistance by providing the assistance that helps minimize some of the troublesome politically motivated financial risks of doing business abroad.
