IoT is gonna be a security catastrophe as I may see. Toasters, washing machines, heaters, TVs connected to network as nodes. With a lot of vulnerabilities and many opportunities for hackers.

And I don't see any signs now that vendors are worried about it.

As explained by experts in detail, IoT has its positives. It is making life easier, flexibility in doing business and managing it with ease of access.

However, it is going to be nightmare for IT Security professionals to deal with it when its' use comes to Corporate level. There is no margin of error while defining and implementing policies controlling IoT in a business. Even it's wide spread use in personal life has its' own repercussion as almost more than 99% people don't know about privacy and secrecy when it comes to using electronic gadgets.

The IoT is the ability to exchange data and have connectivity with any devices, creature or any object other than tablets, PCs and I -Phones using advanced sensors to collect data & interaction of objects. The implications is full control of the ecosystem, business and human interaction. Governments started shifting their services to the IoT, many governments has just started to develop a microchip for civil IDs and even to install the microchips in the human body.  

Ths IoT will empower the globalist power to manage everything through " Big Data" Analytics. Companies and business owners will be easily able to know what you eat, read, and how you spend your money.  

The IoT will provide full tracking of inventory, resources and even a tracking of your health! The Microchip will be developed soon to be a "Nanochip" that can be used in medicine, agriculture, and manufacturing.   

For example, the Nanochip can be implanted in " Bees" to manage full Agricultural Ecosystem"  

The Nanochip in Civil ID can shut down your insurance system or your ability to pay money!

The implication in the governmental sector is more surveillance and the implications on business is more on efficiency , effectiveness, and big data analytics. Business Intelligence will become of vital importance to growth. Economist, marketing, strategist and data analyst will become key future positions to enable companies enable, understand and empower decision making.

Internet is the main communication tool used nowadays in order to communicate in business and society , and for sure it has positives and negatives.

the positive points towards business that in made marketing and sales easier , it increased the ability to make research spread surveys and collect information to do market study , business did benefit from ads , online stores , connecting offices through vpn ....

on the other side when it comes to society i believe that 50% of ppl ar using internet in the wrong way , specially those who share their full life moments live on fb or youtube , there is no more privacy, from my point of view it is schools job to guide the new Generation on how to benefit from internet.

insurance claims is one business that will definitely rip the fruits of IOT for claims and renewals specifically. We have implemented IOT for building inspections (roofs, cracks, etc), fire damage inspections and also agri-business insurance.

Agriculture is another sector that is sure to benefit of it - what is the status of the soil, how much rain is going to spoil the crops, whats the weather like -- how much watering is needed for which part of the field, nitrogen content in soil etc --- the data collected by drone infra-red sensors, drone videos, soil sensors, etc needs to be real time processed to provide the insights which would have earlier taken months.

Delivery services are already disrupted by use of drones, GPS driven drones + infrastructure sensors like red lights, fire services, ambulance services will provide the needed precision of self flying for the drones.

Forest services using drones + sensors for fire threats, detection and prevention. Also to search for any lives in danger.
