Outline
The presentation showcased the vast range of systems and devices which can connect to the Internet. It aimed to totally immerse the audience in the possibility of the Cyber World and how it is changing our lives. Along with this, it outlined a range of emerging technologies which will bring benefits to many areas of our lives including health care and education. With these great benefits, though, there are also threats, and some of these were presented through a range of practical demonstrations.
