Internet of Things : An Emerging Paradigm for Social Safety and Security

IoT comes into play when innovation meets science. IoT applications have transformed traditional human practices into revolutionary buildouts. It has lent the modern world a previously unseen phenomenon where inanimate objects can assume the brain and partake in human endeavors. It has provided intelligent solutions to various fields like production, transportation, communication, retail, energy, agriculture, healthcare, security, and many more. IoT has leveraged progress by enhancing human activities through time, money, and labor-saving solutions. The technology, like any other invention, is also not free of flaws. Despite rendering a wealth of benefits, the technology has its downsides too. Since it is a framework of a huge number of interconnected devices, it is quite prone to risks. The IoT web uses and shares large data so it has developed privacy and security issues. The need, therefore, is to use this technology wisely. Solutions needed to be worked out to make it a more secure and reliable source for the progress and development of the human race.
