6.1 Use of IoE GapFill

The Internet of Everything (IoE) refers to the   switchingconnectivitytransferremoval of devices using the Internet. These devices can range from big or small appliances and are referred to as   cleverlazyactivesmart devices because of how they exchange information using the Internet. Some examples of these interconnected devices are smart lights, smart speakers and smartphones. IoE brings all the devices together through communication of private Internet connections.

The IoE is built up of four pillars:

•  DataInternetInformationAutomation: a valuable asset which is transferred and processed. 
• Processes: the operations carried out on that data.
• Humans: being connected to the Internet through   uploadingtask schedulingdownloadinginteraction with devices.
• Devices (or Things): the objects which are connected and make intelligent decisions, helping humans make tasks easier.

IoE interactivity consists of two components. Firstly, device to device (D2D) interaction, which   indirectlydirectlyautomaticallydigitally operates with other linked devices like automatically switching on lights based on a timer set by a human. Secondly, human to device (H2D) interaction, which uses   an IoEWi-Fian HCIan Internet connection to perform tasks given by a human, e.g. voice commands to a smart speaker to play a certain song. 

An advantage of using IoE is the   digitilizationautomationsmartnessreduction of everyday tasks which gives more control to humans and enhances security. But a drawback can come due to lack of   transfersafetyswitchinginteraction and whether the data being transmitted is encrypted well enough to reduce any chance of hacking.
