Abstract

Every day the number of people, households and companies using devices with an Internet connection is increasing. This shows that the social impact of the tools offered by the Internet of Things extends to the whole world, the access and use of these technologies change social interactions in a country, in a community and between individuals. This article presents a conceptual reflection on the social impact of the internet of things, as a megatrend of the fourth industrial revolution (Schwab, 2016). Through a rigorous documentary exploration, the debate regarding ignoring or studying the social impact is proposed and the literature used is consolidated in plausible assumptions to deepen the investigation in the next future.
