By 2020, 20.4 billion IoT devices will be in use around the world.
From your smartphone to your toaster, TV, curtain rail, car and toothbrush — the time is coming when all “things” will always be connected.
Though it is an exciting time in technology, it is also a critical time to look at the way our data is owned and used as it passes through “things.”
If we continue connecting everything we possibly can, letting anyone control our devices and data, we will face an array of potentially serious problems. After all, our data is our most important asset. If we allow our data to “flow freely,” we will lose control of it. And though our personal data can be used for good reasons, it can also be exploited.
