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.
