Advantages of IoT
Ability to access information from anywhere at any time
on any device;
Improved communication between connected
electronic devices;
Transferring data packets over a connected network
saving time and money;
and Automating
tasks helping to improve the quality of a business's
services andreducing the need for human intervention.

***Disadvantages IoT
As the number of connected devices increases and
more informationis shared between devices,
the potential that a hacker
could steal confidential information also increases.
Enterprises may eventually have to deal
with massive numbers --maybe even millions -- of
IoT devices, and collecting and managing
the data from all those devices will be challenging.
If there's a bug in the system, it's likely that every
connected devicewill become corrupted.
Since there's no international standard of compatibility
for IoT, it's difficult for devices from different
manufacturers to communicate with each other.
