Billions more everyday items are set to be connected to the internet in the next few years, especially as chips get cheaper and cheaper to produce -- and crucially, small enough to fit into even the smallest product.
Potentially, any standard household item could become connected to the internet, even if there's no reason for the manufacturers to do so.
Eventually that processors needed to power an IoT device will become effectively free, making it possible to turn anything into a internet-enabled device.t as IoT devices become more and more common, people will start to ignore them
"The reality of the human mind is as we embed things, we tend to forget about them, we get complacent about them. Many of you are probably wearing a smart device on your wrist to monitor your behavior and exercise routines. But no doubt two weeks after you started wearing it, you forgot it was there," he says.
"The danger from a psychological perspective is that people forget about that technology and forget about the risks associated with it and our own personal mitigation of that risk.
"Even now, consumers are too blasé about connected devices, keen to jump on the latest technological trends failing to realize the associated security risks. Then even if they do, they remain unclear on how to secure the IoT devices -- that is, if there is the option of securing it in the first place.
