1. How does internet of things affect the ff. industry?

a. Healthcare
- IoT devices offer a number of new opportunities for healthcare professionals to monitor patients, as well as
for patients to monitor themselves. By extension, the variety of wearable IoT devices provide an array of
benefits and challenges, for healthcare providers and their patients alike.
b. Education
- IoT in schools means a better-connected and more collaborative future for education. IoT devices give
students better access to everything from learning materials to communication channels, and they give
teachers the ability to measure student learning progress in real-time.
c. Finance
- An interconnected network of IoT devices allows banks to automate important business processes.
Specialized IoT applications help banking and financial institutions in automating financial requests handling,
transfer of ownership of a specific asset and other processes.
d. Agriculture
- On farms, IOT allows devices across a farm to measure all kinds of data remotely and provide this
information to the farmer in real time. IOT devices can gather information like soil moisture, chemical
application, dam levels and livestock health - as well as monitor fences vehicles and weather.
e. Government
-Management of traffic and reduction of automobile pollution with data coming from sensors in roads,
weather information, public transportation, and car GPS devices.
-Detection of flooding and earthquakes, giving citizens earlier warnings.
f. Manufacturing
- IoT in manufacturing has ushered in a new age of productivity and profitability. Leveraging capabilities in
facility management, logistics, predictive maintenance, quality control, and ERP connectivity, new
efficiencies will continue to open doors to increased potential.
2. What are pros and cons of IoT to society?
PROS CONS
Easy Access  Complexity
Wireless technology turns cities into Smart Cities Compatibility
Eases Communication Privacy or Security
Saves Money Lesser Employment or Menial Staff
Business Benefits Technology takes control of life
Increased Productivity
3. What can you say about the IoT devices that are available nowadays?
-  IoT based technologies have a lot of different applications. The technologies are used in process automation,
home automation, smart cars, decision analytics, and smart grids. The list of IoT applications will grow as the
technology evolves in the years ahead.
4. If you are to propose an IoT device, what would that be? Describe its characteristics and features.
- A lightbulb that can be switched on using a smartphone app is an IoT device, as is a motion sensor or a smart
thermostat in your office or a connected streetlight. An IoT device could be as fluffy as a child's toy or as
serious as a driverless truck. Some larger objects may themselves be filled with many smaller IoT
components, such as a jet engine that's now filled with thousands of sensors collecting and transmitting data
back to make sure it is operating efficiently. At an even bigger scale, smart cities projects are filling entire
regions with sensors to help us understand and control the environment.
