The book delves into the transformative impact of the Internet of Things (IoT) on society, emphasizing its role in uniting living and non-living entities. Unlike traditional engineering, which separates humans and machines, the IoT fosters collaboration between them, creating a connected society. It addresses the broader implications of IoT beyond technical discussions, highlighting how this integration can reshape interactions and enhance teamwork across various domains.
In a future characterized by interconnectedness and collaboration between humans and machines, the book explores the rising significance of emotional satisfaction in this evolving landscape. It addresses the challenges of fostering emotional satisfaction within diverse, team-based environments and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive study of these dynamics. By highlighting emerging issues, the book proposes strategies for transitioning from static to dynamic value, paving the way for effective teamwork in the IoT Connected Society of World 2.0.
Set in the early 20th century, the narrative explores a world defined by rigid boundaries and predictability. As societal changes emerge, the story highlights the shift towards applying mathematical rationality to address challenges, emphasizing the evolution of thought and problem-solving in a rapidly transforming landscape.
