The internet of things is an everlasting, ever-changing aspect of our lives in the 21st century. As I look at what I want my future to be, I often leave out the large impact that the internet will have on my every day life. Everything I know today will be changed and all of my strengths and weaknesses will constantly be challenged as every day will lead to a new experience with the internet, especially in the workplace. As I focus my desire of completing a degree in business, internet will have an influential impact on how I wish to make a living. Businesses always need to find new and creative ways of reaching out to consumers and possible investors and the main method of this in the future will be through the internet of things. Many businesses have had to make sacrifices in order to adapt to the growth of the internet which have either resulted in tremendous outcomes, such as Apple who thrives off of technology. However, there are some such as Dell, who have lost popularity due to the fact that other companies have adapted faster. Not only will the advancement of the internet affect my future workplace, it will also affect the way that I interact with those around me. Considering many modes of communication such as writing letters and calling on the phone as well as many more have been left in the past for most people, the distant ways of communication may be a negative side of the improvement of the internet. It allows for people to not make personal out reaches to friends, family, and peers as sending an email simply takes seconds instead of attempting to make a phone call. With the way the internet and technology is advancing, it is a constant worry to thousands and even millions of people my age that we will be left without jobs. With the abilities of technology overcoming even aspects of the human brain, many of the next up and coming generation may be left without steady careers as the work force will be led by computers that will be able to fully function on their own. Overall, the advancement and the importance of the Internet of Things is something that is very dominant in our world today and it will only become stronger and more forceful with the leadership it takes over in our world. There are pros and cons to the internet of things but I truly believe that the positives out weigh the negatives in this situation. It leaves for many opportunities for people to expand their knowledge and become leaders in atmospheres that may not even exist in time as of now, which is a very powerful thing we can look forward to in the world of the Internet of Things.
