Internet of Things - process

Process - our goals for this mission were to compile a list of as many devices that are apart of the internet of things, to learn about the security issues associated with the iot, how the iot affects home life and work life and to find out about the future of iot devices and what we can expect to see down the line.

We started our research by agreeing on times to meet outside of class time to work on our project, learning in my first project that we can all share a google slide to work simultaneously in our own time from home meant we were able to streamline the process of gathering useful information, learning from our last projects we each agreed to do independent research on the same topic, bringing together our findings and only using the most relevant info to use in our powerpoint so it did not end up feeling like 3 separate presentations again. We each used separate search engines to try to vary our sources as much as possible, this meant we were each able to teach each other.

Our end goal was to create a powerpoint with as much detail about the internet of things as possible as well as creating visual aids to show our findings, we also planned to carry out a survey asking people about what iot devices they have in their house holds, compiling the data and making a spreadsheet in google sheets before making it into a chart representing the data to use in our powerpoint.

We began by looking through the suggestions on the intro to cdm website but agreed we would prefer to use other sources as to not reuse the same information as other groups doing the same topic were sure to do, allowing our presentation to be as unique as possible.We also agreed to avoid any findings with any links to wikipedia for the purpose of not looking stupid by giving falsified information.

while making the infographic for the presentation I went through multiple design creating websites trying to find a suitable template  to use, in the end i used the UN global goals poster as a bases to go off of, changing the images to ones of iot devices as well as having to re type the names, to do this we had needed to have already compiled a list of some iot devices so this allowed us to show off some of our primary research.

One of my teammates gathered our survey data which allowed us to gain an insight into the knowledge other people have about the internet of things, and rough numbers for the amount of iot devices an average person would have. unfortunately we did  not think to use any kind of surveying site such as survey monkey which made the process a bit longer but we were able to create a pie chart to represent the data we gathered.
