Q.3.1 The Internet of things

It is an idea that all physical objects are in a network and that many of these physical objects contains electronics of some sorts. Cars have navigation systems and sensors, buildings have fingerprint scanners and metal detectors. Pets have microchips in them to identify the owners. There are millions of examples where physical objects have electronics in them now where they did not before. People have heart monitors inside them to keep close check on your heart, your lights and curtains and alarm systems can all be controlled by a press of a button on your phone. I envision that the rate in which technology is increasingly being embedded into our homes, work, schools and everyday life is not going to stop. Technology mainly electronics are going to be so fixed into our lives that at some point civilization would not be able to cope without it and in a business sense I see there being more people being unemployed because machines are taking over their jobs. There will be no need for meetings in person as most of the meetings would be over a video call or phone call. But yet there are certain jobs that cannot be taken over and certain skills that machines or just anyone can do. Creative people are very sought after yet once they have done their job then they are no longer needed
