GROUP 2

● In your own words, define Internet of

Things.
-The internet of things is simply the
concept of connecting any device with a
switch to the internet. It is also the network of
interconnected electronic devices that can
sense or interact with their environment
without face-to-face interaction.
● Do you like the concept of IoT? Why
or why not?
- We actually like the concept of IoT
since it has already contributed a lot to the
progress of our society. It was able to shape
and change the world’s journey.
-There are a lot of reasons why we
approve of IoT as part of our lives and one of
them is the capability of it to store huge
amounts of data. IoT also helped in making
our lives easier by saving time. Through the
help of technology, a lot of things are
accessible compared to the lives in the past.
● What brought this theory about?
-Kevin Ashton first brought this concept
in 1999 when he said that RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification)is a necessity for the
Internet of Things. It was mentioned that, “if
all objects and people in daily life were
equipped with identifiers, computers could
manage and inventory them.”
-This theory states that the Internet of
Things are all electronic devices that
exchange data or information through the
internet using a local or wireless network.
Anything that can be connected will be
connected as long as it involves the internet.
● In what situations do you encounter
IoT in the Philippines?
-We have encountered some situations
wherein IoT is involved. One prominent
example is when we set an alarm for school.
Our phone was automatically sets the alarm
5-10 minutes before the original time. It help
us a lot in the morning because we are
usually moving like a turtle.
● How do you think IoT will evolve and
affect Filipino society in the next 3 to 5
years?
-We think that the IoT will improve a lot
in terms of security and efficiency. And It will
surely make a huge impact in a sense that
there might be advantages and
disadvantages. Though the security and
efficiency is high compared to what we have
now there is still a possibility that IoT may take
over our minds. This can result in laziness and
idle citizens.
● What do you think is the
relationship/cause and effect of IoT in
media and information literacy?
-We think that the relationship of
Internet of Things with media and information
literacy is that there is corresponding
responsibility needed for the internet users if
they want to prioritize literacy. If a person
solely depends their life in the Internet of
Things they should know the liability of being
able to use one. A person has an obligation
to use it properly without abusing their right
and power.
