We can’t deny that the Internet of Things (IoT) has made significant strides in improving the everyday lives of families, transforming how they interact with technology and manage their homes. To be honest, my family only has a few IoT devices in our house. We only get to experience other IoT devices when we visit friends who own more devices. However, despite the small number of IoT devices we have, I can't deny that they have made our lives easier. In our household, IoT devices seamlessly integrate into our daily routines.

One of my family's favorite IoT devices is the smart TV. As a family that loves watching movies as a bonding activity, sitting comfortably on our couch and browsing through an endless selection of movies has become more enjoyable thanks to its internet connectivity. We can easily access streaming services, watch our favorite shows, and discover new films without leaving our living room. The convenience and entertainment provided by our smart TV have truly enhanced our family time, making our movie nights more fun and engaging.


Every weekend, doing household chores is part of our Saturday routine. Blasting music on our speaker has become a part of our cleaning ritual. The music keeps us energized and motivated, making the task feel less like a chore and more like a fun activity. The ability to control on what music to play through voice commands adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing us to change songs or adjust the volume without interrupting our work. This makes our cleaning sessions more efficient and enjoyable, transforming a mundane task into a lively family activity.



Transportation and commuting are made easier with IoT-enabled vehicles. Whenever we visit my brother in Iloilo, finding available seats on jeeps and buses can be challenging due to the number of passengers. Booking a ride using IoT technology has become a convenient alternative. A car equipped with IoT features assists with navigation, provides maintenance alerts, and finds the best routes to avoid traffic jams. This technology helps our family save time, reduce stress during commutes, and ensures we arrive at our destination safely and promptly. The convenience of having reliable transportation options through IoT has made our travels smoother and more enjoyable.

While our home may not be filled with a multitude of IoT devices, the few we have significantly enhance our daily lives. From entertainment and household chores to transportation, IoT technology brings convenience, enjoyment, and peace of mind to our household. The impact of these technologies, even in small numbers, highlights the substantial role IoT can play in improving our quality of life. As IoT technology continues to evolve, I look forward to discovering more ways it can enhance our lifestyle, making everyday tasks more efficient and our lives more connected.

Navigating the WEB

  Every time I go shopping with my mom, she always checks the quality of material, the brand of the product, and look for any defects to ensure that what we buy is of high quality. She doesn't care if it took her a few minutes as long as she is sure that the product we are going to purchase is of high quality. She has a specific criterion in selecting what product are worthy to purchase. This habit of her somewhat grew on me, I’ve also started doing the same thing to ensure I purchase a high-quality product. Not everything posted online is true or factual. Some are just made-up stories which everyone tends to believe, which is sad. In today’s digital world, the internet is flooded with millions of information that you could think of. However, most of them are fake and are just made-up stories.
