sit back while champions by and host challenges leipsic you're watching news from about and i'm having a home for you when it was get the latest news and information on our website that is dot com more news coming up at the top of the out thanks to company and buy from me. they were forced into a nameless mass. of. their bodies near jewels. the history of the slave trade is africa's history. to speak. for our

entropic plummeted an entire continent into chaos and violence. this is the journey back into the history of slavery. i think we will truly be making progress when we all accept the history of slavery as all of our history. our documentary series slavery routes starts march 9th on t.w. . fridges that know was at the door talking losses and robots that mold along on their own smart devices are meant to make our lives easier but they also gathering all private data the internet of things the smart but how secure is it i want topics today on shift .

i old see all the internet all things is a network of devices that can come. unique aided by a built in mini computers smart heat of for example has integrated senses that money to and regulate room temperature that can safe heating costs of vacuum cleaners that operate independently can save us time boys assistance always haven't opened it for us and can even tell other devices what we want by the way what do you think alexa is used most for they've limp head of amazon hardware has some interesting news customers ask echo over a 1000000000 times a year. this alexa what time is a. clock. the internet of things has a lot more to offer from time sensors that measure quality to caution networks to surveillance systems for industrial plants a recent study expects that over 50000000000 devices and sensors will be connected

by 2022 professor from the visited specializes in the internet of things. professor. has been studying. the internet of things for over 10 years and. he's fascinated by the idea of making everyday objects smart. consider the light bulb and you can control it with a switch on the wall or you could use your phone. you might want to add features like making a light flash when a storm warning is issued. but then your light needs to be able to receive that information from the web it's not stored locally. so your light has to be able to communicate with the cloud. and. the industry promises smart devices to make life easier like with autonomy lawnmower and. let it. run on their own and

automatically adjust the room temperature as soon as everyone is left the house. a smart bridge that monitors which groceries are running out can be very inconvenient imagine being out of butter and then the doorbell rings with a fresh delivery of more butter but this also lets companies analyze which products you consume. the data collected in transmitted is mostly invisible to ordinary users the same goes for the socket where built into their devices. to the data collected and in the worst case who can remotely control the smart device these are the largest concerns and has with this new technology. right now the biggest challenge the internet of things faces is security and privacy imagine someone with access to your stove they could cause it to overheat and maybe

even start a fire in your home. or someone with control over a power plant could cut the power to an entire city. the possibilities seem endless but the risks involved and not to be taken lightly users should think twice about how much small technology they want in their homes families is not too worried they enjoy the convenience and futuristic fear the smog network provides me i would like to see even more technology online at home my in wouldn't i want my house to be able to tell when i get out of bed when i come downstairs i want my favorite radio station to start playing my favorite coffee brewing out of it's cold outside my car to automatically start heating up and it. can already remotely control who has access to his home he has a smart door his children don't need a key to get in they simply scan their fingerprints. i

can see if my kids are home from them this camera has facial recognition. it's. remotely. the voice assistant. shopping list. very interesting.

they all had to confess to analyzing. how the conversations were. these digital help. pick up on things. human constantly checking. understand. now people using this technology. now it's become a. protection.

so. default my privacy being the default setting people who don't mind their actions being recorded to improve their experience can still change their settings or use a smart technology at home should really know what they're dealing with security expert martin child oprah leaves small technology requires smart handling the monkey fun thought if you're responsible for a household full of smart devices then you've basically become a system administrator like the ones that many choose data centers of knowledge that means you need to treat your home like one catalog in the devices installing security patches checking for software updates changing passwords and perhaps even setting out protocols like to make sure there were no hacking attempt to inflation and things 1st got

a good point security analysts say the number of cyber attacks on iraqi devices is on the rise in the 1st half of 21000 there were more than 2900000000 hacking attempts that's 3 times more than last year one hakka showed us how simple hacking and be. i knew. 3 had commandeered the device gaining access was pretty straightforward. by this manufacture i connected through one day to. a slight change the source code was all it took to access the controls in camera. the vacuum cleaner receives its commands through a built in microcontroller connected to the internet. security gaps make the entire network of devices vulnerable. i can start. with

and then i can look which devices there is. so it's a related. but there is no limit the problem is just one device can compromise the entire system no matter if it's a home or industrial network as soon as get into one device they have access to all other unsecured devices on the network and they can reprogram those devices to launch new attacks that makes it all the more important to understand the technology behind the internet of things but i recommend open source solutions they don't rely on just one manufacturer for security or data protection. with bold names riot. but riot is meant to be the new global operating system for the internet of things will provide the uses need for that. if you're interested in the

internet of things and want to make your devices smart then it's important to use open source solutions that aren't bound to a specific manufacturer. always be aware of which apps you're using and what private data they require. one possible solution is the operating system ryan developed a 3 year appeal in university it's the right source code is openly accessible so anyone can check it and modify it to their own needs but that won't let users program their own devices yet they need other apps to do that. has vanished wants to offer these apps on rap store and app store for the internet of things currently it's still being tested but in the future it will let users download all kinds of apps for their smart devices so they can individually tailor their devices features. for the internet of things

operates across a lot of different devices so it's not easy to make sure the software always runs smoothly there's not just 3 or 4 platforms to consider but there's thousands ideally you want your software to run on all of them. using. riot focuses on small processors with low storage capacity and performance and minimal closely battery powered energy consumption there's 2 reasons why much yes delish prefers these kinds of applications. you know about that well 1st of all every object requires musical space that you might not always have. secondly each additional component costs extra when you manufacture small scale devices you can't use too much space and you need to be cost effective in. the industry is also very interested in open source io t. technology one car manufacturer is currently testing digital keys that run with the

riot operating system smarts and say. one main software that keeps my network safe and makes sure my o.t. devices work together smoothly and that's how i would want my smart home to be a reality is a big deal. friend manufacturers are reluctant to hand over their software and aside from that i think i owe t.d. vies this should offer more than just convenience they should promote sustainability a smart thermostat that help save energy great smart feed of a mad dog no thanks otherwise the end of things becomes the internet of jack what's your opinion how smart do you want your data data be under discussion for example shia buy and see their room.
