Great post, Joseph! It’s not surprising to know that IoT is everywhere with the technology we have today as we are living in a fast-paced environment, which quick and convenient is what people are looking for. Think about it, who wouldn’t want a smart speaker that can control home appliances with apps or even with voice control? However, people need to consider the risks, such as personal privacy, before getting IoT products.

Hey Junni! Thanks for the comment. I can see why people are more open towards a effortless world which can cater convenience to the max. It does create a simplicity that would eliminate disruptions. But it’s good to note that people need to revise such technological things as you mentioned privacy being a key factor, it’s not like everyone has a smart speaker in their homes, nevertheless there should be a way to counter that in the near future.
