- Time and Money
Internet of Things can reduce time and resoruces needed to accomplish a goal.
Disadvantages:
- Compability
Currently, there’s no international standart of compability for smart devices, leading to possible many ways of error. - Security
With all of datas that is transmitted over the internet. There’s a huge threat on users privacy and security.
