The "Internet of Things" is a popular buzzword but a poorly understood concept. In short, it refers to everyday objects that can sense the environment around them and communicate that data to other objects and services via the Internet. This column will briefly explain what the Internet of Things is and how it might be useful for libraries. It will also discuss some of the problems with and objections to this technology. A list of currently available Internet of Things examples is also included.
“物联网”是一个流行的热词，但却是一个人们了解甚少的概念。简而言之，它指的是能够感知周围环境并通过互联网将这些数据传输给其他物体和服务的日常物品。本专栏将简要解释物联网是什么以及它对图书馆可能有何用处。还将讨论这项技术存在的一些问题和遭到的反对意见。此外还列出了一些当前可用的物联网示例。
