Assignment:
For this writing assignment, choose one of the two short-answer prompts below and write a two-page, double-spaced paper addressing the questions/topics listed.
1. Pick a device that is now part of the IoT used in the home and address the following questions:
Does this device actually offer a solution to a problem?
Is being connected to the internet useful for this device? Put another way, could the same task be accomplished without it being on the internet?
What are the downsides of having this device connected to the internet?
2. For a twist, try and imagine a device that should never be part of the IoT. Describe what device you're talking about and then give reasons why it being connected would be a bad idea.
