Prospects of IoT technology

Introduction. Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the promising innovative technologies. Every year more and more people are involved in the use of smart things. At the same time, a relatively small number of papers are devoted to the study of the social value of technology and the experience of human interaction with this technology. It is important to study the features and prospects of the technology, to analyze the attitude and willingness of people to use it. Materials and Methods. We have conducted an Internet survey, in which special attention is paid to the place of IoT in the life of modern people, their attitude to the concept of devices. The obtained data is processed and systematized. Results. The analysis of the survey results allowed us to draw conclusions regarding the attitude and willingness of young people to apply this technology. In the course of the study, the IoT concept was defined, the conditions required for the existence and functioning of the technology were described, the advantages of IoT technology were generalized, information technologies interacting with this technology were specified, the tasks that require solutions for the successful and effective implementation of IoT into Russian reality were listed. Discussion and Conclusions. The Internet of Things is a technology that, with a consistent and systematic solution to a number of problems, can become a significant factor in the development of both individual spheres of life and activity, and the country as a whole. At the same time, it is important to study and consider the social impact of technology dissemination. This will increase trust in the IoT and eliminate negative impacts. The survey shows that young people tend to use smart things more widely. It is necessary to expand the range of smart things, to more confidently introduce the basics of practical application of IoT technology into educational programs, to discuss issues, ways to solve the tasks and pilot projects related to this technology widely in the media. This will enable to train not only people who are practically interested in IoT, but also qualified personnel who are able to solve problems in a new way.
