Answer 1

‘Internet of things’ is an abbreviation of IoT. It can be defined as a system of international computing devices, multiple digital machine objects, and people that are provided with the unique identifiers and capability to transmit data over a network without the aid of human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction, respectively (Gubbi 1645). It also refers to the network of physical objects that typically features an IP address, for the purpose of internet connectivity and communication that occurs between internet-enabled systems along with internet-enabled devices.

Answer 2

IoT is considered a revolution in the world of technology. It provids a place where all the devices are smartly connected to aid in communication. Owing to the tremendous increase in the use of technology, people rely more on technology to perform their daily tasks. Similarly, technology has been integrated into the field of business, as well. IoT has provided an opportunity to drive business efficiently by connecting both the inert devices or inert sensors, with the process and prospects to attain valuable data over the internet (Gubbi 1647). It also facilitates in smart manufacturing as IoT technologies enhance the proficiency and efficiency of both the supply chain operations and manufacturing.

Due to the lack of embedded security and various secure programming to protect smart devices, IoT is raising a red flag. IoT devices cannot function on an isolated network and therefore require internet connection. As smart devices rely upon firmware and do not receive frequent updates, it raises great cybersecurity concerns.

Despite cybersecurity issues, IoT has several advantages such as, it aids in automation and control, while also efficiently saving time (Gubbi 1649).
