Review the “Internet of Things: Convenience vs. Privacy and Secrecy” resource. Then create an initial post in which you consider the following questions:
- As internet of things (IoT) devices become more widely adopted, to what extent are you willing to sacrifice your privacy for convenience?
- Given your stance on privacy, what effect does the pervasiveness of IoT have on your choices as a consumer?
In your response posts, imagine that you are developing a new IoT device for a company. What aspects of privacy would influence your design based on the points your peers made in their initial posts?
Note: Privacy can be a highly personal topic. In your posts, remember to maintain professionalism. Focus on the topic and not on the person.

Hey Class,
I hope everyone had a good first week of class. I am relatively private man and with this, I find IoT to be a very scary thing. With that being said I would much rather give up some of my basic data to ensure the efficiency and operability is still there. The biggest concern I have when it comes to the pervasiveness of IoT is not really towards my personal devices and the big data analytics that are conducted through that. I find it scary when we look at smart cities that have CCTVs and AI that is able to understand what people’s daily habits are. They are able to track phones and identify when someone’s cell phone is in a part of town that is less frequented. These aspects of IoT and what that can mean is extremely scary especially when we thing about if that kind of data could be compromised. A random person is able to track your every move and gets a notification when you are not in a normal area. I believe this is a step to far. I would love to hear everyone else’s opinion on smart cities and IoT with relation to privacy or the lack their of.
Have a great week
Phil

Currently this would present many different challenges in terms of location. The views expressed can be imagined in a business or personal environment or setting dependent upon a few factors.

Pun intended of course. Many different orientation or interfaces provide distinguished access with adequate permitted interpretations by law, pursuant upon the understanding on providing a stable foundation on understanding where boundaries are within providing access or information on a secured network entity. With public access permitted to those relevant to the information, additional are of using sophisticated software and hardware to thwart off such attacks if they were to happen within the infrastructure or a government entity. Proprietary standards and laws based with in the SEC, FDIC and other insecurities offerings provide superior defense against system intrusions and other such attacks, of course with advancements in the infrastructure. With adequate security enhancements provided to such a system itself, those abilities can be viewed as a perk for those whom adhere to having there information safe and secure provided accessible with integrity and permissions based authority.less
