 The Impact of IT on the Society

The seven major trends for 2017 are as follows:

1. Iot and smart home technology 5. Big data

2. Augmented reality and virtual reality 6. Physical-digital integrations
3. Machine Learning 7. Everything on demand
4. Automation

Majority of organizations and companies nowadays have taken these trends into
account, shifting manual business process to automated ones and using ICT to improve
their products and services. Among these seven trends, the internet of things (IoT) and
automation seem to have greatly influenced present-day culture and society; thus, it is
imperative to discuss these thrust in detail.
Internet of Things (IoT)

A set-up of devices and objects which are connected together in a

given network . Their connection, often wirelessly, is possible using both
hardware and software,

The hardware part is often made up of sensors that collect data, which
are then sent to other devices for analysis and possible interpretation.
Popular examples are health wearable devices such as step counters that are
connected to mobile phone via bluetooth. An app installed in the phone
records the result in the track of his or her progress.
Capabilities of IoT
A major requirement IoT is a strong internet connection, as all devices must be able to
communicate with one another for the upload and download of needed data. But aside from
connectivity, Iot should also be capable of the following (mattern & floerkemeier)

Application of IoT

With improved business processes and

employee productivity, it is only natural for an
organization to adopt IoT. in a study
conducted in IoT analytics it was found that
most of the 1,600 IoT projects are applied in
cities (Scully,2018)
 Topping the list are as follows:

The influence of IT culture and social behavior

With the prevalence of technology getting

widespread, there are issues, both positive and
negative, that surface. But regardless of whether
the effect is positive or negative, the sudden
surge of ICT has created an influence on how
people’s lives has been changed for better and for
worse. However, it is important to note that any
positive effect a person wants to see should not
rely solely on the technology; it should also focus
on self-realization and social interaction.
Influence on culture

1. Online reviews
With the proliferation of online information, it is easy to find details on a certain
movie or book. However, with sites such as rotten tomatoes one can actually make
decision on what movie to watch by simply reading the “reviews” of other people.
2. weblogging/social media
Nowadays, food bloggers post pictures of their meals in restaurants along with a
food review. This trend created a culture of people dining with friends or family without
actually interacting with them.
3. Youtube learners
Youtube is one of the most popular social media sites. People can watch videos,
comment on them, and upload their own videos, among others
Influence of social behavior
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell
phones, computers, and tablets. Cyberbullying can occur through SMS,
Text, and apps, or online in social media, forums, or gaming where people
can view, participate in, or share content. Cyberbullying includes sending,
posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about
someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information
about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some
cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.
