Trends in Information Technology
Introduction
It would be hard to imagine a modern world without the technology that we see and
experience in our everyday life. The emergence of the internet has really changed the way people
and organizations interact. Essentially, advancements in information technology has become as a
crucial component in transforming both professional and personal life. Information technology
has undergone various transitions in developing to what it is today (Perwej et al., 2019). Before
transitioning to the Internet of the Computers, information technology was then referred to as the
Internet of People, where it later evolved to the Internet of Things. The latter is the main focus of
this study. Ideally, modern information technological devices such as the mobile computers,
sensors, and smart phones, are all elements of Internet of Things. Remarkably, in the modern
world of doing business, the use of Internet of Things amongst business organizations and
government agencies have grown to unprecedented levels due to the potential benefits it provides
to them. Internet of Things is presently believed to be the main pillar of supporting the
infrastructural developments and strategies in future for businesses (Abdul-Qawy et al., 2015).
The speed with which Internet of Things is being spread implies that almost every device will
have a cord with which it can be identified and addressed. That being the case, the purpose of
this paper is to address Internet of Things by looking at its definition, its usage, benefits, and
challenges in organizations.
Definition

define Internet of Things have defined it as the interface of interconnectivity of physical objects
