There
are always two sides to any coin and same goes for any technology
that comes to the mainstream. A lot has been said about the changing
dynamics of information sharing as mobility is taking center stage
and evolving to create a new ecosystem of connected devices. All of
this innovation is surely slated to change the way end user looks at
technology. There is no denying the fact that big data would be the
focus point as far as IOT is concerned. As more and more devices get
connected to the internet there would be a tsunami of information
that would be unleashed.
Currently
most of the data being pushed is still in scattered form, making it
difficult for analysts to deduce vital trends. This has created a
wide debate regarding the frightening perils as well as advantages of
big data in the consumer space. One cannot ignore the advantages of
big data in various sectors like pharma and healthcare. Even now
there are a slew of cases where big data has helped to make vital
head ground and provide seamless integration with legacy processes.
Still there have been some critics of big data who are of the view
that as more and more data is gathered there would be privacy concern
that will emerge.
Even
hollywood has been at its best to put some scare into the minds of
end users with science fictions where supercomputers take over human
race by understanding their traits. But the fact of the matter is
that we already have been gathering data for many years which has
resulted in highly efficient style of living. The only difference
with big data is that it would lead to custom mobility solutions
which can be used among enterprises as well as consumer space. Data
being accumulated today has been streamlined to a greater extent with
developers incorporating analytics to churn out better products and
services.
Imagine
a retail shop where you shop frequently would be able to offer you
with great services once it gather ample knowledge about you needs
and fashion taste. Even you physicians would be able to better
predict your future health based on your everyday diet and schedule.
As mobility is taking center stage much of this is getting possible.
Users are now using their mobile devices more frequently which is
helping backend service providers understand their requirements.
It is
an age of mobile apps programming where developers need to
reinvent their approach towards mobility. It is not just about mobile
app but user engagement via IOT and big data. As the security
infrastructure increases over time, developers as well as end users
would ease of the privacy concerns which in turn would unleash the
prospect of vertical growth. As most of these scenarios come to
existence, technology would enter each and every part of our lives.
The only questions that remains is how fast that change would come.
the answer lies in the mass adoption among user base and better tools
that could seamlessly analyse the data being generated.
