1. Session 1 1

2. We are living in the internet era, where everything is becoming digitized. Connected devices are the thing of today and the future, and we are exploring the Internet of Things and how they are impacting our lives. Around 20 billion connected devices are being used, and it is expected to rise to 50 billion by the end of this year. This growing number indicates how powerfully IoT is impacting our lives. Today, there is a demand for IoT developer who can bring in the best of things. Hence, there is a demand for individuals having internet of things certification. But, this development is shrouded with some set of disadvantages. We are bringing you a set of pros and cons of this internet revolution. 2 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

3. Pros of Internet of Things: ● Cost Savings- IoT allows all the appliances to connect efficiently, thereby saving cost and energy. Since the user gets control over the usage of devices, it becomes easier for the user to continue control over the device, thus ensuring optimal usage and control over the device. ● Information- The more is the information, the better decisions the device can make. The right information is conveyed to the device, thus making it to perform its task easily and without any flaws. ● Better communication- IoT promotes machine-to-machine communication. Because of this, the devices are connected in a better way. Thus total transparency is available with better qualities and lesser flaws. 3 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

4. ● Automation and control- IoT allows the devices to connect digitally with wireless infrastructure, thus having better control and automation when it comes to the working of devices. The machines are self-sufficient and capable of making divisions similar to human beings. ● Increased productivity- IoT makes the business more productive. IoT offers just in time training for employees, enhances the efficiency of the machine by making it less prone to errors and reduces mismatch of skills, thereby increasing the productivity of the business. 4 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

5. Cons of Internet-of-Things: ● Too much dependence on technology- Yes, this one of the major drawbacks that you need to consider. Over dependence on technology can be disastrous sometimes. With IoT, we will become more dependent on technology, so in case of an error, the entire work will get affected. Relying on IoT devices can be troublesome. ● Security issues- It's a fact that IoT has done a lot of good for society, whether we talk about the personal front or professional front, the internet and devices which run on them have made our life simpler. But at the same time, the data on which this system works becomes highly vulnerable by exposing them to the World Wide Web. Lack of security of data becomes a matter of concern. 5 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

6. ● Affects the employment rate- As and when we start depending on machines, and them taking over manual work, it will directly impact the rate of employment. Although the human brain is required in the form of information, security training will work towards it, but that number is lesser as compared to those who work on the field. So, yes, there is job insecurity pertaining to over-dependence on IoT. 6 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

7. The Way Ahead- Well, when we compare the pros and cons of IoT, then the advantages take the lead—and looking at the brighter picture we can state that IoT is here to stay and is going to transform our lives in many ways. However, one can only make it through by choosing the right IoT certification program. This training program is designed to help the individual learn about the functioning of IoT and how well you can implement the concepts into reality. There are a number of platforms providing online IoT training certification programs and IoT training; these certification programs are the comprehensive one providing all the necessary information to the students. Those who are willing to learn more about IoT or want to upskill themselves these certification programs are the best choice. 7 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

8. The internet of things certification program by Global Tech Council is a renowned and popular program. It is good for both the professional and freshers. It's an online IoT training program, and any individual who wants to learn about IoT can enrol for this program. 8 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org

9. Conclusion It would not be wrong to claim that IoT is going to change our way of life. Yes, there are certain drawbacks that we cannot undermine, but the prospects that it holds for the world is unparalleled. We are currently using IoT in different aspects of life, whether we talk about automated cars, self-driving cars, automatic machines, infotainment systems of cars etc. All these are few of the many uses of Ineter of Things and in the times to come we are going to do some more transformations in this field. If you too are willing to be a part of this game-changing technology, then you must go for the internet of things certification program. 9 Copyright © Global Tech Council www.globaltechcouncil.org
