8. Internet of
Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is
an Environment in which
objects, animals or people are
provided with unique identifiers
and the ability to transfer data
over a network without requiring
human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction.
IoT has evolved from the
convergence of wireless
technologies, micro-
electromechanical systems and
the Internet.

9. Implications/Effects IoT brings
to Human
S Based on Jacob Morgan (2014), The IoT is becoming an
increasingly growing topic of conversation both in the
workplace and outside of it. It is a concept that not only
has the potential to impact how we live but also how we
work. But what exactly is the “Internet of Things” and
what is it going to have on you if any?

10. Implications/Effects IoT brings
to Human
(cont...)
S There are a lot of complexities around the IoT but let start
with the basics:
S Broadband Internet is becoming more widely available, the
cost of connecting is decreasing, more devices are being
created with wifi capabilities and sensors built into them,
technology cost are going down, and smart phone
penetration is sky-rocketing.

11. Implications/Effects IoT brings
to Human

12. Implications/
Effects IoT
brings to
Human
The reality is that IoT allows
for virtually endless
opportunities and connections
to take place, many of which
we can’t even think of or fully
understand the impact of
today.

13. Implications/Effects IoT brings
to Human
S On a broader scale the IoT can be applied to things like
transportation networks “smart cities” which can help us
reduce waste and improve efficiency for things such as
energy use; helping us improve how we live and work.
