###### Abstract  
The interconnection of devices, intended to collect and transmit data via the Internet, is called the Internet of Things (IoT). This technology has the potential to revolutionize both the economic and industrial sectors, especially in terms of data confidentiality and information security. New media, with a merger between those two, have increasingly replaced traditional media, but many researchers characterize them as two distinct but interconnected types of media. From the traditional media, with its technological evolution, the IoT has supported the development of the media through the emergence of applications, websites, and social networks designed to spread information worldwide. This research focuses on how the IoT has the ability to influence economic growth by trying to determine the impact of the IoT through theories and the evolution of economic growth. Thus, the concept of the IoT is interdependent on information and communications technology and, from an economic point of view, is correlated with productivity. In addition, the processes that have an impact on the media are those of an economic nature, all of which are interconnected with progress, innovation, and the promotion of goods and services. At the same time, this paper aims to determine the correlation between IoT and the economy, with a focus on the media, which has the main result of the development of new businesses. Thus, a bibliometric analysis of the scientific papers on the Web of Science platform regarding the IoT field was performed, in order to identify the current state of knowledge in this field. The results of this analysis highlighted that both the IoT and the economy are shaped by innovation, opportunities, and development.

The term \"Internet of Things\" was coined in 1999 by [PERSON], co-founder of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Auto-ID Center [1], when he identified radio frequency tags in supply chains to interconnect the Internet with physical objects. The IoT field is shaping a new era, meant to develop society both economically and socially [2], being able to revolutionize even more than the Internet. In this paper, we aim to pursue the economic dimension of the IoT, having the ability to innovate in the field of entrepreneur through economic models that, in turn, generate new directions [3]. IoT is a model through which objects connect to the Internet, and people have the ability to transfer data with minimal intervention. The Internet of Things also enhances the functionality of applications related to production, transportation, energy, or the medical field, with multidisciplinary implications [4], including computer science, social science engineering, management, and business administration. The IoT is estimated to have an impact of USD 11.1 trillion on the global economy [5] in 2025. This age of technology includes a number of factors meant to generate real progress in various fields, such as health, the environment, agriculture, transport, and capitalizing on the economy. In this sense, through the connectivity of the Internet, which benefits from high upload and download speeds, much more stable connections are created with wider coverage. In this context, 5G technology is the one that generates speeds of 1-10 G bit/s, which results in much better connectivity, a wider bandwidth of data, as well as fewer releases. Thus, mobile networks have the ability to interconnect devices in order to streamline economic sectors. Technology has created an interconnected society, and the IoT is considered the future, through the realization of a learning process called M2M (machine-to-machine). In addition, devices and applications are connected and allow the data exchange to create a solid economy, resulting from increased productivity.
