Internet Of Things
The internet of things (IoT) is a new technology that is on the rise and it allows anything that uses a computer to connect and communicate with other things that uses a computer. For example, a mobile phone could connect to certain systems in a home, like the new smart central heating. This can allow someone to turn the heating on before they get home, so they do not have to turn up to a cold home and wait for it to warm up.
IoT could be used within an organisation to speed up workflow by connecting devices and having them communicate with each other.
Unfortunately, this technology has its disadvantages, just like any other technology. Due to all the things that use a computer can now connect to the internet and communicate with each other, this makes it easier for attackers to hack into and possibly take control of more rather than being isolated to one of those systems.
This can be devastating for an organisation because it would make the job of fighting off an attacker a lot harder and would cost significantly more.

Increasing Automation
Lots of organisations are now moving towards automating a lot of their jobs. This is because robots are a lot cheaper and can get the jobs done at a faster rate whilst also making the product identical each time. There is also little risk of something going wrong in the process when using robots compared to a human.
Bringing in robots would then require new, but more complex jobs. These jobs would be to diagnose and repair if any of the robot’s malfunction and they would have to be held by workers who have knowledge on robotics. This means that the low skilled jobs of today will increasingly be replaced by robots.
Some organisations do not want to fully automate, but instead want to make the jobs much easier for their employees. This can be done with an exoskeleton, which is a wearable device that assists a human worker to pick up and carry heavier loads than what a human without an exoskeleton is capable of. This is still experimental, but they could be seen in the workplace within the next decade or two.
Exoskeletons and industrial robots have their own uses within the workplace. Industrial robots are used to greatly speed up the process of producing things with great precision, like cars, whilst an exoskeleton would help a human worker in places where an industrial robot would be unnecessary or impossible, e.g. delivering heavy packages.
An exoskeleton can be used in a supermarket to aid in moving the heavy deliveries.
