<p>Nowoczesne technologie informatyczne są bronią obusieczną, bo z jednej strony dają ogromną przewagę taktyczną, ale z drugiej są źródłem wielu niebezpieczeństw. Dlatego projektując najbardziej skuteczne rozwiązania w zakresie bezpieczeństwa informatycznego, należy badać współczesne trendy oraz przewidywać możliwe scenariusze przyszłości Internetu i narzędzi internetowych, bo rozwiązania przystosowane do obecnych warunków mogą być nieskuteczne w przyszłości. Mają na to wpływ m.in. czynniki technologiczne związane z rozwojem sprzętu komputerowego czy oprogramowania, a także decyzje, współdziałanie oraz współzawodnictwo. Wyznaczonym w artykule celem badawczym jest wskazanie możliwych kierunków rozwoju dwóch technologii internetowych – Internetu Rzeczy i Rzeczywistości Rozszerzonej – oraz błędów popełnianych przy prognozowaniu ich przyszłości. Drugim celem badawczym jest rozpoznanie zagrożeń będących konsekwencją coraz częstszego i szerszego stosowania obu technologii.</p>

In Japan, the world's most technologically sophisticated society, the future has already happened with public displays of AI-powered systems and robots underpinned by big data and fast being incorporated along with other emerging technologies such as the internet of things (IoT), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), blockchain, and cryptocurrency. Hence, the building blocks of the future already exist today, perhaps within niches, and in the coming years, they will spread to make the ‘normal' of the future. The human race needs to forge a society that collectively and fairly controls how AI will ‘write' the future to avoid it being unequally spread and affected by inequalities, cancers, and the dysfunctional habits of today.

The article describes how the Brazilian media shows the Internet of Things. The corpus is composed of 165 texts of Folha de São Paulo published online between 2011 and 2016. A data scraping tool was developed to extract the texts, which were analyzed using Atlas.ti. As criterion of analysis, we sought to identify the most cited objects, the qualities attributed to them, as well as the most recurrent IoT definitions. We also observed the main themes found in the texts and the judgment implied by the articles. We conclude that IoT is defined by the connectivity between intelligent objects, linked to technical and economic issues and to the imaginary of the future. These objects work mostly in the residential, health and transportation areas. Privacy issues still do not dominate the discussions.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to revolutionise the way we live and communicate, and the manner in which we engage with our social and natural world. In the IoT, objects such as household items, vending machines and cars have the ability to sense and share data with other things, via wireless, Bluetooth, or Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology. "Smart things" have the capability to control their performance, as well as our experiences and decisions. In this exploratory paper, we overview recent developments in the IoT technology, and their relevance for criminology. Our aim is to partially fill the gap in the literature, by flagging emerging issues criminologists and social scientists ought to engage with in the future. The focus is exclusively on the IoT while other advances, such as facial recognition technology, are only lightly touched upon. This paper, thus, serves as a starting point in the conversation, as we invite scholars to join us in forecasting-if not preventing-the unwanted consequences of the "future Internet".

TelSoc has held its first forum on the future of Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN). Three papers from that forum are published in this issue. TelSoc is planning a second forum, discussing the user potential of the NBN, in October 2019. The historical reprint in this issue is also NBN-related about online learning. The technical papers in this issue concern architectural issues in the Internet of Things and cybersecurity. The Journal welcomes further contributions on telecommunications and the digital economy.

The development of internet of things in recent years is firstly introduced in this paper, it points out that the internet of things has been used extensively in multi-domain not only because height attention in many countries, but also because of the high-speed development of technology. After that, the emphasis of this paper is to expound and analyze the actual applications of internet of things in several specific areas of social production and life nowadays. Finally, this paper points out the strengths of internet of things development in china, and looks forward to the development trend of internet of things and the life vision in the future.
