Our use of linked, smart devices has changed significantly during the past ten years. Since the introduction of “Quad-Core Computing” in 2012, the number of computers, smart “Wearable Devices” (WDs), smartphones, vehicles, and numerous other technologies that collectively make up the “Internet of Things” have multiplied, become more readily available, and increased in computational power almost exponentially (IoT).
In 2012, the first quad-core smartphones and tablets were introduced, significantly boosting processing capability and paving the way for the development of the modern IoT. The ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) devices is sold as tools for enhancing user empowerment and independence. They feature sensors, computing power, software, or other technologies that connect and share data with one another or the internet.
The European Commission published the “2012 Ageing Report” in 2012, which was also designated as the “European Year of Active Ageing and Solidarity Between Generations.” However, older adults have frequently experienced disempowerment rather than empowerment in a society that is becoming more interconnected, despite these arguably contradictory developments in the fields of technology and EU strategic initiatives for person-centered and human rights-oriented development.
The worldwide IoT market is expected to reach $2,465.26 billion in value by 2029, up from $478.36 billion in 2022, according to a number of estimates. Because of the unequal growth and numerous direct and indirect kinds of discrimination that have resulted from this fast development, society is a whole.
Due to the introduction of cutting-edge IoT technologies, a sizeable fraction of older individuals and people approaching retirement have suffered marginalization and have less ability to participate in their social, private, economic, and political life.
