There are a lot of ‘things’ on the internet, funny videos, blogging sites, live camera footage, the list is almost endless. But when we speak about the internet of things or IoT, what does it mean? Well it encompasses everything connected to the internet but is being increasingly used to define objects that ‘talk to each other’ essentially comprising of devices ranging from simple sensors to smartphones (Wired, 2018).
The best and most prominent example of the IoT in use would be in the ever-growing section of smart home appliances. The idea of a smart home makes a lot of sense, having the ability to control the appliances in one’s home through their phone and internet seems like a natural progression of home design and living. As owning a home is the biggest financial expense of a homeowner’s life, smart home products will attempt to save money, time, and energy, as well as connecting the house to the owners.
The IoT is only becoming larger, it is exciting and a little worrying that one day every single thing we own will have some form of internet connection to it, hope the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out.

Very clear as always Luke! A truly terrifying topic. Super straightforward remediation!! I love that your remediation complimented your blog through explaining IoT. It’s also good (aka subject outline) for you to talk about your remediation in your blog (dw I forget too). Its great you have links and references, but maybe put them in your blog body itself through hyperlinking text?? Even some collections of IoT like https://www.reddit.com/r/IOT/
All over it as always!!
