Internet of Things (IoT) among of all the technology revolutionshas
been considered the next evolution of the internet. IoT has become a far more
popular area in the computing world. IoT combined a huge number of things
(devices) that can be connected through the internet. The purpose: this paper
aims to explore the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) generally and
outline the main definitions of IoT. The paper also aims to examine and discuss
the obstacles and potential benefits of IoT in Saudi universities. Methodology:
the researchers reviewed the previous literature and focused on several
databases to use the recent studies and research related to the IoT. Then, the
researchers also used quantitative methodology to examine the factors affecting
the obstacles and potential benefits of IoT. The data were collected by using a
questionnaire distributed online among academic staff and a total of 150
participants completed the survey. Finding: the result of this study reveals
there are twelve factors that affect the potential benefits of using IoT such
as reducing human errors, increasing business income and worker’s productivity.
It also shows the eighteen factors which affect obstacles the IoT use, for
example sensors’ cost, data privacy, and data security. These factors have the
most influence on using IoT in Saudi universities.
