The country is adopting Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Internet of Things is one of the disruptive technologies and part of 4IR. Data coming from the sensor, actuators are automatically collected, stored, analyzed, and used. This new emerging technology offers extraordinary opportunities to develop a new business model and can provide automation and monitoring in everything we do. IoT provides automation to our home, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing industry, and agriculture. IoT implementation serves to be beneficial to society. The economy will be progressive because all business operation can be automated. It will increase the production time resulting in a higher profit that will add to the national Growth Domestic Product (GDP). But the issue of data and privacy is the concern by using Internet of Things (IoT). Policymakers should come up with a concrete law that will protect the user of the technology. © 2019 IEEE.
