Privacy Concerns in Internet of Things (IoT)
- The IoT landscape includes 22 billion devices in 2018, projected to exceed 50 billion by 2030.
- Consumers often lack awareness about data collection, storage, and access associated with smart devices.
- Although manufacturers claim automated systems handle data, human oversight is present, exemplified by Amazon transcribing Alexa conversations.
- Risks include potential hacking of consumer IoT devices, emphasizing the need for consumer awareness of vulnerabilities.
- Legislation like GDPR and CCPA seeks to protect data privacy, but consumer vigilance remains crucial.
- Recommendations from the Federal Trade Commission for consumers include regularly updating device firmware and disabling unnecessary data collection.
Lifecycle and Sustainability of IoT Devices
- Many IoT products are being rendered obsolete earlier than expected, leading to increased e-waste.
- Devices such as iPhones and iPads (e.g., iPhone 6, iPad Air, iPad Mini 3) may not support newer software updates, limiting functionality.
- Product lifespan factors:
- Endpoints: Physical mechanisms like switches and sensors, typically last about 10 years.
- Hubs: Central communication units for cloud services; open-hub standards proposed for longevity and compatibility.
- Clients: Manufacturers, with the functionality being affected by openness and update frequency.
- Apple's ecosystem tends toward limited lifespan (up to 4 years), while Android devices may face delayed updates affecting relevance.
