What are the advantages of continuing to develop a more robust “internet of things” and continuing to add more “smart nodes”? what are the disadvantages or concerns as the number of smart nodes continues to increase?

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
