Yes, I know this IoT Device Might Invade my Privacy, but I Love it Anyway! A Study of Saudi Arabian Perceptions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Internet of Things (IoT) ability to monitor our every move raises many privacy concerns. This paper reports on a study to assess current awareness of privacy implications of IoT devices amongst Saudi Arabians. We found that even when users are aware of the potential for privacy invasion, their need for the convenience these devices afford leads them to discount this potential and to ignore any concerns they might initially have had. We then conclude by making some predictions about the direction the IoT field will take in the next 5-7 years, in terms of privacy invasion, protection and awareness.

متن کاملER top 5: a few thoughts on why I (generally) love my job.
Iam an emergency physician. It’s been 10 years since I completed my residency and skipped off into the big wide world where my name is the one marked “attending physician” on the ER chart.
