Abstract

The term Internet of Things (IoT) has permeated our society in recent years, especially in the media. Although the term is not new, the massification of electronic devices, the real possibility of analyzing large amounts of data through Big Data and drawing useful conclusions from them, seems to have definitely opened the door for an IoT explosion. 

The present article seeks to reflect on a problem that does not seem to have been adequately addressed: its environmental and social implications. In other words, in its sustainability. In a world that is reaching its limits, is it possible that Internet of Things can develop? And if so, will it be for all, helping reduce the gap between those who have the most and those who have the least? Or on the contrary, will these differences increase?
