INTERNET OF THINGS

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing

devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals

or people that are provided 

with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer

data over a network without 

requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

WHAT is internet of

things? 

Based from what I have understood, Internet of Things, are

connected devices, objects or things that can transport information

through a network. It can process data not requiring

face to face interaction.

What brought about 

this theory?

Being online and using devices all time is what brought this theory

about. This era is dependent on the internet and

devices that are interconnected. It makes the process of

disseminating easy and fast. It is ready to be accessed anytime.

Do you like the concept

Of iot?

I like the idea of obtaining information immediately, and

it is offered by IoT. There is just this one thing that

I do not like in IoT. It is the absence of face to face interactions.

In what situations do you encounter IoT in the Philippines?

I encounter Internet of Things every day. I use technology

to communicate and gather information from

different devices and machines. I also use ‘beep’

card for transportation from place to place.

How do you think IoT will evolve a
nd affect Filipino society in the next 3 to 5 years?

After 3 to 5 years I think, it would affect Filipino

society’s connection, not internet connection, but

person to person connection. I can see the effect of

technology to me and the people around me, and it

somehow cut down person to person interaction.

What do you think is the relationship/cause
 and effect of IoT in media and information literacy?

In Media and Information Literacy, you will be informed

of what you should do or could do with the

information that you will gather in the Internet of Things.

IoT can be confusing because it is a very wide-ranged platform

and anyone can use it, you must identify what is real in

every data that you might get.
