The Timeline of Media in my Life
Internet of Things as Theory of Media and Information
In your own words, define Internet of Things
Internet of Things is the concept of interconnection of any devices that enables them to exchange information/data via internet. Connecting any device that can be connected via the internet so that they can exchange data/information.
What brought this theory about?
The "Internet of things" was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 during a presentation he mad at P&G because he observed that we were developing an extension of the Internet to accommodate Things and hence the term “Internet of Things” evolved.
Do you like the concept of IoT? Why or why not?
I do like the concept of IoT because it will improve and upgrade the lives of many people. But I do not want it to happen because one of my beliefs is that as long as a human makes it, there's bound to be problems with it.
In what situation do you encounter IoT in the Philippines?
I encounter IoT in the Philippines through devices such as smart phones, television and wearable devices. Also through transportation, where vehicles (Uber and Grab) can be hired through the internet.
How do you think IoT will evolve and affect Filipino Society in the next 3 to 5 years?
I believe IoT will spread to more fields and the competition will become bigger causing it to be more affordable and accessible to Filipinos. With it becoming more affordable and cheaper, Filipinos will be more easily swayed into adapting/applying it into their day-to-day lives.
What do you think is the relationship/cause and effect of IoT in media and information literacy?
With the continuous growth of IoT, media and information literacy will also grow though the kind of growth is debatable. Media and Information Literacy can either result in a positive or negative way to the way of living of our society but it is based on how us, humans, will use it. With more access to information, people can use this to uncover and develop potential but it can also lead for others to abuse it.
