A world that tracks, collects, and stores data from someone’s everyday life is rapidly approaching. Some may even say we are immersed in this technology already. We call devices such as these, Internet of Things, the devices create new types of detailed information about our everyday actions, habits, personalities, and preferences. Some examples of these devices include Smart homes, Smart Cities, Connected cars, and Wearables. These products not only allow for a simpler life, they also allow changes in big business. For example, “Insurers can price automobile coverage more accurately by using sensors to measure exactly how you drive (e.g., Progressive's Snapshot system), which should theoretically lower the overall cost of insurance” (Peppet). But the Internet of Things raises new and difficult questions as well. such as the likelihood that Internet of Things devices will be inherently prone to security flaws, and the difficulty of meaningful consumer consent in this context-create very real discrimination, privacy, security, and consent problems.
