Machine to machine , smartcity, internet of things(anything can be connected to the network). All these concepts have been developed to empower machine independency. I mean, they are really cool technologies. Imagine a situation where I can remotely monitor what is at my house to an extent that I can control my power and water usage (smart). Its also incredible for a company manger to seat in his office and is able to monitor delivery trucks, customer preferences and actually fine tune content like advertisements basing on customer behavior and "smart" likes. A traffic system that adopts according to the present traffic, biometric authentication systems, big data analysis and so forth.
Countries are in a rush to set up the first complete smart city with South Korea leading the chase. But what does all this mean to Human beings ? Of course, there are lots of benefits as everyone desires confort or being their own bosses by commanding a system that will never have hard feelings or judge you. On the other hand, it would mean that if someone gained illegal access to any of these system, the damage might be catastrophic and for the most part, I don't know if it's going to creat more jobs, the answer to this is pretty obvious!
Do you think we still have a way out of this confinement of technology and innovations ? I dont think so! But I fancy the technologies no matter the setbacks, though we need to get thinking about how we will co-exist.
