Blurred lines… Who has control, us or the internet?
First it was portable, then it was wearable. It’s now ingestible and implantable… what’s next in the internet of things?
The internet of things (IoT) is transforming everyday physical objects that surround us into an ecosystem of information that is rapidly changing the way we live our lives. From refrigerators and cars, to parking spaces and houses, IoT is bringing more and more items into the digital fold every day. Our homes, to give one example, could soon be tracking everything we do on a daily basis – from locking and unlocking the front door, to automatically ordering the groceries when the fridge is empty.
Whether we want, or are indeed ready, for this new level of automation, is another matter. But it won’t be long before it is the norm and a new evolution in technology once again changes our lives as we thought we knew them.
The video, article and infographic below explore the impact IoT devices on humankind. Can they really change how we interact with one another? Will they truly keep us more safe – or do they open us to new privacy concerns? How can testing via the 3DEXPERIENCE platform help companies who are creating these innovative devices better understand every possible and unprecedented scenario before we use the products in real life?
