Advantages and Disadvantages of the Internet of Things
The “Internet of things” (IoT) is the most upcoming and fastest-growing technology both in the workplace and outside of it. The Internet of Things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and others which are going to play a key role in every sector of all industries. IoT Technology is not new, it was there before but now getting boomed because of increased availability of basic infrastructure at affordable prices. because of this physical devices can stay connected. So IoT technology is not going to diminish as many companies providing positive results in terms of security, production, analytics, control and much more. This is the beginning of the era, slowly we will have a huge amount of IoT devices to control, manage and help human work. But it has some Advantages and Disadvantages lets discuss here.
Advantages of the internet of things (IoT)
Connected Infrastructure-
Connected Infrastructure combines industry-leading customer advocacy, design, and support teams, for a comprehensive approach to the network. Connected Infrastructure delivers maximum performance, time savings, space optimization, superior customer experience and sustainability by design, to address challenges.
Automation And Control-
Due to physical objects getting connected and controlled digitally and centrally with wireless infrastructure, there is a large amount of automation and control in the workings. Without human intervention, the machines are able to communicate with each other leading to faster and timely output.
Connected Transportation-
Using IoT in aviation, maritime, rail and roadways can improve safety, lower cost for greater scale, make transportation more secure and enable smart choices. IoT helps to monitor things in the real-time. We can know the availability of things instantly and track them whatever and whenever we want.
Time-saving-
IoT saves a lot of time by automating the tasks which are otherwise very time-consuming. IoT Applications can provide personal assistants who can alarm on your everyday plans.
Connected People-
IoT is connecting people to work, home and health smartly so productivity and efficiency can be increased, monitoring and security of homes can be enhanced and health problems can be identified and solved on time.
Disadvantages of the Internet of things(IoT)
Privacy issue-
There is always the possibility of hackers breaking into the system and stealing the data. And one might want some personal space in life.
