First of all, the event generally treated IoT. Internet of Things is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.

The topics that impressed us the most were the evolution of Internet use, the wide range of scenarios that are covered by Internet of things and the sustainability issue.

The use of the Internet has changed a lot in recent decades, initially it was used only for connectivity (email, web browsers, search) but over the years it has acquired more and more power and now it is used in many different fields: clothes, home, shopping, cars and at work. It’s estimated that, in the future, more than 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet.

The main areas of application of IoT are Home, Enterprise and Government. The applications we found more interesting were smart home, smart cars and smart devices like smartwatches, that are mainly used for fitness. In recent times, the companies which deal with the production of computer devices, have adopted a sustainable production method with low environmental impact, that is very helpful for our planet. Companies also power their plants with renewable energy sources, there is a great efficiency in the use of energy and a sustainable financing system.

In conclusion, we noticed that society is developing year by year and in the future more and more applications of Internet of things will be invented.
