Opis

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the integration of computers, sensors and networking in physical devices. It is estimated by 2020 there will be 25 billion connected IoT enabled devices. Innovators and entrepreneurs across the country are leading the development and deployment of IoT systems and services, extending the Internet beyond laptops and smartphones to everyday devices of all types-from cars and clothing to homes and factories-while adding the sensors and computing capabilities that make them "smart." While IoT devices incorporate many technologies Americans have used for decades such as microprocessors, cameras, and other sensors, the truly ubiquitous nature of these devices present new opportunities and challenges for the nation. Small, ordinary-looking devices placed in homes and businesses can help keep us secure, but they also open important privacy questions; sensors in cars, trucks, airplanes, and ships help identify and prevent failures or accidents before they happen but also open new cybersecurity vulnerabilities; and complex IoT software and operating systems may contain bugs or are not updated regularly, raising questions about safe deployment in critical health, infrastructure, and even everyday uses.
