How Internet of Things and Autonomous Systems can Contribute to amore Universally Designed Society

Abstract

This article is a reflection on how the Internet of Things and autonomous systems can contribute to a more universally designed society. It presents a review of the seven principles for Universal Design and considers one by one how the coming of the Internet of Things may or may not be beneficial to these principles. It reflects on how the Internet of Things can make life easier and more manageable for everyone, and how this can remove disabilities though technological innovation. Lastly it shows how the Internet of Things affect privacy and security concerns as well as the importance of interoperability and standards, which are all essential for Universal Design. The goal of this paper is a call for more research. The proposed algorithm shows efficient energy utilization and increased network lifetime with total transmission energy metric.
