This book explores on how the Internet of Things (IoT) will change society by bringing living and non-living things together. The IoT is currently attracting considerable attention, but most of the discussions focus on engineering aspects alone. The IoT, however, is not an extension of traditional engineering, where humans and machines are separated. Instead it connects humans and machines, enabling them to work together as a team: the IoT Connected Society.
In traditional engineering, our knowledge and experience of physical and non-living things plays a key role, but such knowledge and experience alone are not enough. We need to introduce life science approaches and integrate them into physical science to really develop the IoT connected society.
In addition, the Internet is not only a tool for delivering messages: it is a broader communication tool. In the IoT connected society, living things and non-living things communicate in complex ways. Machines

can provide humans with a improved situational awareness and advice, and together they can communicate to develop a better, happier society.
Thus, this book makes the case that to make the IoT connected society a reality, we need to integrate the physical and life sciences and develop a new science for the next generation of engineering.
This book demonstrates how the creation of emotional satisfaction will change in tomorrow's connected, IoT world. The importance of emotional satisfaction will increase in the IoT Connected Society of World 2.0, in which humans and machines work together as members of the same team with no walls between the two, and where production is also team-based. Developing emotional satisfaction in such a diverse team and in a very different environment is a major challenge and needs to be studied from a broad perspective. This book describes the emerging issues and how they can be to tackled, introducing paths for moving beyond static value toward developing dynamic value.
