The Internet of Things can be described as a communication network at which devices connected through an Internet connection can communicate with each other without the need for human interaction. Devices such as smart televisions, smartphones, and other “smart” devices can be programmed to communicate with each other in order to perform tasks to facilitate the lives of people everywhere. The Internet of Things isn’t a new concept, but rather a concept that is holding more weight as technological advances are made. It was actually a concept introduced by Kevin Ashton in 1999, when Ashton was presenting this concept to Proctor and Gamble, pitching the idea that P&G should connect their supply chain to the Internet. It is only recently that the possibility of the Internet of Things can come to fruition.
As of late, the Internet of Things is becoming less futuristic and becoming more modern. In the Age of Context, this type of technology can be incredibly useful. Connecting everything in a home down to refrigerators, microwaves, heating systems and other appliances can help consumers control energy consumption and increase accessibility. Consumers can have cars that will send a push notification to their smartphone stating the car is in need of an oil change. Or even a refrigerator that alerts their consumer when the milk is about to expire. The possibilities are endless for products that can make consumers lives much easier.
With the increase of social networking and sensor data, it also offers new markets for businesses to invest in. Companies such as Nest, creators of smart thermostats, could expand on connecting an entire home through the Internet. From refrigerators to washing machines to hot water heaters, sensors that are...

There has been significant technological advancements over the past few decades that have revolutionized the way we live and conduct business. Radio Frequency Identification, or RFID is an example of an electronic data interchange network that has helped shape the global world in which we live. The applications of RFID technology has impacted the military, health industries, supply chain management, logistics and agriculture. There is a vast array by which RFID technology is used around us on a daily basis without us even realizing it.
When you think of the internet, usually what first comes to mind is social networking, online marketplaces, and other places that don’t sound that bad. Look deeper and you’ll find that the internet isn’t as nice as you thought it was. This “dark side” of the net is comprised of everything looked down upon in the real world – drugs, weapons, false identities, and even hit men for hire exist in this rough-and-tumble darknet. Not just physical products, but virtual products float around as well; from term papers to file sharing and even e-currency populate this dark area.
Companies like Under Armour and Nike are investing a lot of money in big data wearables. This line of products allows consumers to track their physical performance throughout their day or throughout their workouts. Under Armour provides their consumers with bigger company’s like
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.

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).
