Abstract

The use of internet has grown significantly in the last three decades. Various technologies such as social media and networking, cloud systems, Blockchain technology etc., have been developed which have significantly improved the communication between the humans across the globe; and also, between the devices which has led to the development of approaches like the internet of things (IoT). These approaches have been increasingly adopted in various sectors including healthcare, education, retail, financial, and many other sectors. However, the development of the internet and its relevant technologies were mainly focusing on the technical aspects undermining the human-centric aspects which has led to the development of new concept called ‘Internet of Humans (IoH)’. There is a lack of research and understanding relating to the internet of humans, and no clear definition was identified. In this context, this paper tries to explore the concept of the Internet of Humans from different perspectives including advanced and innovative supporting technologies, human-centric factors, and areas of application. Thus, this paper contributes to the development of literature for understanding the internet of humans and proposes future research issues and challenges.
