The Internet of Things is a network of devices that communicate and interact with each other over the internet, allowing for the formation of a data rich environment. The hope is that with the use of such a network, everyday tasks can be streamlined to allow for increased efficiency and productivity. The Internet of Things, although not a particularly new concept, has only just started to gain traction due to recent improvements in technology that allow for increased connectivity and faster data transfer. Modern day devices are able to pull and send information deemed necessary for the task at hand, while learning from each experience. As the smart form of technology continues to be adopted, it is only a matter of time that “these devices become part of our infrastructure” (Dutton, 2014). In fact, members of the European Union have pushed the Internet of Things to become a more prevalent aspect of our daily modern day society. Concepts that have been discussed include “machine to machine communication, things to person communication, and thing to thing communication” (Nolin, 2016). These forms of communication allow for a seamless interaction between machine and user and creates an environment of constant learning so all tasks can be optimally finished.
