Last night I was on my bed going for sleeping. Suddenly, I started thinking about current pandemic situation. Whole world is in Lockdown. Earth is under its maintenance. Humans who thought they were so much powerful are feared going out of their homes.
Then suddenly my thought process was deviated along Internet, which is actually the most used thing in this lockdown situation. According to Indian Government, there is around 40% of increase in the usage of Internet in these lockdowns. This is actually interesting facts. Well, few of the reason may be Work from home and Learn from Home, but actually people are using it for entertaining themselves when going through this situation. In future, everything around us is going to be based on Internet. The future is of Internet of Things(IoT) and that's what I am feared of.
If you don't understand what actually IoT is, here is a short explanation.
What is IoT?
IoT stands for Internet of Things, which is system of interrelated computing devices and digital machines which can exchange data through a network. This data is helping those objects to work effectively.
The Fear
We are totally dependent on Internet and you can realize necessity of Internet these days. Think about future when everything will be Internet based. Your home, the equipment of your rooms, your light bulbs, your Air Conditioner, your wrist watch even your vehicles everything is going to be digitalized and sharing data. And all of these things are going to be administrated using a single account.
What if someone sitting around a small room of a hotel in a country anywhere in the globe with bad intentions bypass your account and start threatening you. He will get control of everything around you.
What if you can't respond him? You will become helpless and just watch him playing with your data and privacy. He'll get control on your Bank Accounts, your Property, just everything.
The Security
With the exponential increase in technology growth, where data is going to be a valuable commodity, security will also be improved. We are talking about quantum era, an era where data and speed of its transmission will increase. Security has always been a biggest concern in this Quantum Era. This is leading to growth of Quantum Encryption.
Well, the fear of Data Security for me is still there. And I think its good that I have fear and concern for privacy and safety of my Data.
The End Notes
Data is currency. The big tech giants drives money and power with our Data. That's not a personal threat for us but that could be. Even big companies like Facebook have been irresponsible for Data Security purposes. IoT is always fantasy for me, and in this fastest growing world I have now been started using it to a limited extent in my life.
Concern and fear will be always. We have to grow and be ready for what is to come next?
Because, Life means to discover. And I want to Discover Big.
Cheers!
