Data Mining and Machine Learning...
It's all about data .. |

The Internet of things (IoT) is when physical objects are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging (this can be everything and anything - from your toothbrush and fridge to your car and mobile phone.
But what about when your devices gossip!? What could they be saying?
IoT - What do all your household devices say behind your back?
What your applicances and devices say (jokingly):
• Vacuum - I refuse to vacuum up this french fry, lazybones can do it himself
• Fridge - fattypants is kidding himself if he think's he's eating less than 2000 calories a day!
• Scale - I can agree with Fridge, I have to weigh him, and he's over weight! He's an elephane!
• TV - the rubbish he watches on television...
• Computer - you should see the things he searches for on the internet..
• Car - he drives like an old woman, he is dangerous, he nearly crashed yesterday, ..
• Toaster - he never uses me, why did he even buy me if he's not going to have toast!
• Coffee Machine - he drinks a lot of coffee, he has about 8 cups a day!
• Toothbrush - he doesn't know how to use a toothbrush, he just wiggles it around
• Mobile Phone - he plays too many games
• Electricity (Smart Bulbs/Meters) - he is very uneconomical, never switches his lights off or uses any eco settings..
• ...
Your entire life is digital, everything you do is recorded (body movements through your phone, shopping, tv, social media, ...) - all that data is you.
The IoT is a double sided sword - it provides a vast amount of information that can be used in unimaginable ways to make your life better (or worse). It could be used to help not just you, but others around the world - but will it?
Can you trust anyone with your data?
