Abstract: Internet of Things technology applications have largely appeared in our daily lives and business activities, but still are relatively confined to the independent ranges. Network interconnection and information sharing are still not realized. This paper provides an empirical examination of the Internet of Things through questionnaire survey, and then according to the methodology of technology acceptance model, we make a SEM statistical analysis from the perspective of behavioral science. The results show that the bottleneck of development of Internet of Things is the core technology and network interconnection standards. The key to advancing their application is to provide products and services which are useful and easy to use. Consumers have begun to pay attention to privacy protection and security on the Internet of Things environment.

Key words: technology acceptable model, Internet of things, radio frequency identification, service adoptable
