IoT (Internet of Things) awareness

Abstract

The IoT, or Internet of Things, is a technological concept that allows various devices such as smartphones, household appliances, sensors, and vehicles to connect to the internet and to each other. These devices collect and transmit data and can even respond automatically to changes in their environment. The IoT is playing an increasingly important role in our everyday lives, whether in smart homes, smart cities, or healthcare monitoring systems. IoT awareness is extremely important for people to understand how these systems work and what benefits and risks they entail. This awareness is particularly important among younger generations, such as Generation Z, who are active users of digital technologies. Users' knowledge influences how safely and effectively they use these devices. Data security, personal data protection, and digital responsibility are becoming key issues in the world of IoT. In addition, technology raises social and ethical issues that should not be ignored. Raising awareness of the IoT can contribute to a safer and more transparent digital future. Therefore, appropriate education and information for all age groups is essential.
