NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE EMERGING INTERNET OF THINGS 

Dear Data Users: 

>From Internet-connected fitness bands and watches to security systems
and thermostats, Americans are beginning to use Internet-connected
devices, appliances, and objects that are part of a growing category of
technology known as the Internet of Things (IoT). In NTIA's latest
Digital Nation Blog [1 [1]] post, we discuss data on early IoT use [2
[2]] from
the July 2015 Current Population Survey Computer and Internet Use
Supplement. While few Americans reported using a wearable,
Internet-connected device such as a fitness band or watch, we found
notable differences between early adopters of wearable technology and
the population as a whole. We also asked respondents if they used the
Internet to interact with household equipment; 7 percent of Internet
users ages 15 and older--more than 13 million people in all--said they
controlled a thermostat, light bulb, security system, or other household
equipment via the Internet in 2015. | Read more >> [2 [2]] 

As IoT technology continues to spread, NTIA is working to understand the
challenges and benefits it poses and what role government could play in
promoting its growth. Last week, we posted the more than 130 comments
[3 [3]] we received on IoT issues. One of the questions we asked in our
request for comment [4 [4]] was how to best measure IoT and its impact.
The
responses to these and other questions will help shape our future
Digital Nation research as we work to better understand how connected
devices are used by the American public. NTIA will also be hosting an
IoT workshop later this year and will be drafting an issue-spotting,
agenda-setting green paper, which will identify key issues impacting
deployment of IoT, as well as benefits and challenges and possible roles
for government and the private sector in fostering the growth of IoT. |
