The Internet of Things (IoT), as being marketed and sold to the public, is a vision of connecting every “thing” possible to the Internet – all machines, appliances, objects, devices, and even our brains. In addition, the IoT will include artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), robots, microchipped humans, and augmented humans (humans with some form of technology implanted or integrated into their biology to “enhance” human characteristics or capabilities). IoT sensors and surveillance cameras will pepper our communities as well. New IoT cyber physical systems will render all objects “smart” – i.e. connected to the Cloud – thus enabling pervasive machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and massive data collection. It will also leave us open to devastating cyber attacks. Some of the IoT products currently being manufactured include driverless cars, clothing, toasters, and coffee makers. Even diapers, and pacifiers for babies will be made “smart”. There are “smart” mattresses (with “infidelity detection systems”), “smart” toothbrushes to record and notify you how well you are brushing, WiFi connected pills to transmit data to your physician, and the IoT even includes sex-bots, bluetooth tampons, and baby pods mothers can insert to serenade their unborn baby and, sorry to say, even smart condoms to measure “performance”.
Every IoT “thing”, including robots, sensors, surveillance cameras, and augmented reality, will generate personal usage-data, which will be mined, stored, and used by government, law enforcement, industry, and hackers.
