Hyped Technology: Internet of Things (IoT) Living up to Hype

By Dick Weisinger

Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Virtual Reality and more. New technologies that are getting hyped daily. Which of these technologies are businesses really adopting? A survey by Spiceworks of 566 global businesses asked which technologies are being adopted now. The Internet of Things (IoT) is seeing large adoption already while adoption of Virtual Reality is much slower.

Peter Tsai, IT analyst at Spiceworks, said that “IT professionals are rightly concerned with the practicality of integrating emerging technology in the workplace, particularly when it comes to VR and 3D printing. Many organizations are struggling to find viable use cases for VR and 3D printers that will justify the costs. With IoT and AI, while many understand the potential benefits for businesses, IT professionals are more concerned about potential security risks over costs, especially in light of recent DDoS attacks originating from vulnerable IoT systems.”
