Introduction
The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the impact Internet of everything (IoE) and internet of things (IoT) has and will continue to have on businesses, such as how it is going to improve productivity, reduce costs and enable businesses to get the most out of their assets and improve societies by enabling better water management, improve transport system, reduce crime and create more employment and business opportunities. It also discusses the changes we are about to experience like growth in economies, significant increase in the total amount of data and information in existence so that knowledge can be attained and how should people prepare for that change and we will also learn about the new risks associated with IoE(Davenport, 2013).
What is internet of everything (IoE)?
(IoE) describes connecting every device on the internet so that can they can accessed and controlled remotely and be able to collect, analyse and send data or make its own decision based on the collected information e.g. An Artificial Intelligent (AI) bed that monitors sleep patterns with hundreds of sensors built into the mattress collecting and using that data to adjust itself to suit your sleeping position to make sure that you rest well and wake refreshed and free from back pains, neck pains and fatigue, and When you wake up in the morning the bed fixes itself (Duncan, 2014).
IoE is already available in business e.g. the retail companies are implementing RFID tags which stores information about the product like the size of the shoe, colour, manufacturer name, the date it was shipped in and the country it was manufactured in. IoE is going to revolutionize everyday objects we use and depend on into AI objects, to achieve that sensors, ...

The Internet of things is a trend where everyday objects have network connectivity, allowing them to send and receive data. It depends on a great deal of data to function as devices are being setup to track and collect data. (Mohn, 2016) E.g. smartphones, online banking, home security systems etc. As these are important to us, we can’t over look how crime will play a vital role and affect lots of people due to its popularity and the fact that it will be a part of lives as we grow technologically.

Pervasive computing is here. It is being integrated into our society in as many ways that can be thought up. Chips are popping up in everyday objects. Cars, planes, ships, phones, PDA’s, refrigerators, and soon a person’s hat, shoes, and clothing. This is all well and good, the advancement of technology is something that has always and will always be a constant in our culture. The need for more interconnectivity is becoming more apparent in business, schools, and personal lives. IBM is working on a project, called Autonomic Computing, which will create a universal standard for technology and the integration of electronic devices. One of their claims for the necessity of the project is a quote, “Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking about them." - Alfred North Whitehead. They say that we make cultural advances by taking the processes and procedures we have now and automating them, thus giving the freedom to explore new and unique ways to complete the left over processes and procedures. The advancement of the culture is a necessity for any society, but the relinquishment of control of certain processes has to be regulated.
As our research into science and technology ever increases its seems inevitable that in the near future Artificial Intelligent machines will exist and become part of our everyday life such as we see with modern computers today.
The book ”Funky Business” by Kjell A. Nordström and Jonas Ridderstrale deals with the upcoming changes which affect mostly every part of our world. Reasons for these changes are for example the higher level of technology. Individuals and organizations are affected and therefore the authors see this book as a self-help book, becuase it illustrates the present situation and gives many advices how to behave in these ”funky” times.

At present we are facing many problems in our cities such as structural health of buildings, waste management, air and noise pollution, energy consumption and traffic congestion. Our goal is to monitor these problems and provide a solution. By using an IOT, monitoring becomes quite easy as from anywhere we can monitor it. In our project, we will work on problems of waste management, air and noise pollution, street lighting and make a city “The Smart City”. The Internet of Things (IOT) is a system of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the network of physical objects accessed through the Internet. The Network of interconnected objects harvests information from the environment (sensing) and interacts with the physical world (actuation/command/control), uses existing Internet standards to provide services for information transfer, analytics, applications and communications (Jiong et al. 2012).
With self-driving cars, facial-recognition software, mobile phones that listen to our very command and even robot-butlers, the future is now.
These examples are only the beginning of what's being done with RFID. Many companies are finding other ways to deploy the technology either within the four walls or in a mobile manner to streamline business processes. As technology continues to advance, adoption of RFID will continue to spread. According to ABI Research, the RFID industry will continue to grow 21% through 2012.
Databases are becoming as common in the workplace as the stapler. Businesses use databases to keep track of payroll, vacations, inventory, and a multitude of other taske of which are to vast to mention here. Basically businesses use databases anytime a large amount of data must be stored in such a manor that it can easily be searched, categorized and recalled in different means that can be easily read and understood by the end user. Databases are used extensively where I work. In fact, since Hyperion Solutions is a database and financial intelligence software developing company we produce one. To keep the material within scope I shall narrow the use of databases down to what we use just in the Orlando office of Hyperion Solutions alone.
In our society, there has been a revolution which competes that of the industrial revolution. It is called technological revolution. At the top of the technological revolution is what we call, the Internet. In the following report we will be discussing about what the internet is about in general and how it might be in the future, why it is necessary in our everyday lives, and why has it become so important to everyone (i.e. companies, individuals ).

The Impact of Information Technology on Individuals, Society and Organizations Information systems and information technology are important in supporting, maintaining and enriching many aspects of livings. They bring benefits to lives of individuals, operations of business and the functioning of society but there are also drawbacks associated with technology and information system. Both good and bad impacts of information system and technology to individuals, organisations and the society will be discussed in detail in the following paragraphs.
In our world, people rely heavily on the power of technology every day. Kids are learning how to operate an iPad before they can even say their first word. School assignments have become virtual, making it possible to do anywhere in the world. We can receive information from across the world in less than a second with the touch of a button. Technology is a big part of our lives, and without it life just becomes a lot harder. Just like our phones have such an importance to us in our daily lives, database management systems are the same for businesses. Without this important software, it would be almost impossible for companies to complete simple daily tasks with such ease.
