What is it?
The Internet of Things is a network of specialized devices that collect and share data with each other.

Social/Legal/Ethical Issues
Unlike most other network devices, IoT devices can collect more personal data. This creates many social issues especially with respect to tracking, as well as legal and ethical issues involving data collection and distribution.

Security Issues
The IoT is like a household computer network and is susceptible to many of the same types of device and network attacks. A major concern is data harvesting because IoT devices can collect various types of individual data.
