Internet of Things Outline
Introduction
The internet of things refers to a system of interconnected devices such as computers, and other digital objects which are used to relay data through a given system of information. The internet of things can also mean people who take part in managing these objects within the digital environment in which they operate. Moreover, the internet of things utilizes technology by assigning IP addresses to objects or even sensors and transponders which are used to relay information to a central system for information processing. The evolution of internet of things has come from the age in which machines could communicate to machines to a more advanced system in which machines can communicate with people and other objects within the environment to collects data that can be used by companies and organizations to make informed decisions about customer behavior and many more. This paper will provide an outline of the importance of technology around the globe by looking at some of the applications of the internet of things in solving societal problems.
TOPIC SENTENCE 1: Internet of things can be used in enhancing agricultural productivity.
EVIDENCE: According to Giri, Dutta, and Neogy (2016), the internet of things can be used to utilize the few resources available to produce large outcomes in the agricultural sector. This can be done by designing applications that are able to control the use of water, insecticides, and fertilizers to ensure that only the required amounts are administered to plants.
TOPIC SENTENCE 2: The internet of things has influenced the buying power of customers around the world.
EVIDENCE: In a study carried out in China, it was found that the emergence of online shopping has led to an increase in sales which has been enabled through impulse buying (Akram et.al. 2017). Many customers lamented that online buying which has been made possible through the use of the internet of things (IoT) has impacted negatively on their buying power because most of them (customers) were forced to buy things they did not need.
TOPIC SENTENCE 3: The internet of things has enabled better communication and dissemination of information around the world.
EVIDENCE: The advancement of technology and communication information technology has led to the development of better communication channels that can be used in improving the livelihood of people (Graham and Dutton, 2019). Additionally, the use of the internet can be used to monitor activities within the home set up which can influence decision making (Feng, Setoodeh, and Haykin, 2017).
TOPIC SENTENCE 4: There have been different ethical issues associated with the use of the internet.
EVIDENCE: According to Berman and Cerf (2017), globalization has made the world to be easily accessible to everybody from any part of the word. As a result, there have been moral issues that contravene the code of ethics due to the exchange of information including lifestyle around the world. Moreover, there have been challenges regarding how people socialize on the internet.
TOPIC SENTENCE 5: The internet of things can be used in tracking illegal activities across the globe.
EVIDENCE: According to Alvari, Shakarian, and Snyder (2016), human trafficking is an illegal activity that should be shunned by all means and the perpetrators convicted so that people can stop this heinous act. The authors propose the use of the internet of things to track the activities of human traffickers across the globe. Apart from human trafficking, the internet of things, which refer to the interconnection of digital objects and computers can be used in tracking other illegal activities such as poaching and drug trafficking among others.
