Internet of Things break through time and space isolation between geographical space and virtual space, forming smart geographical space, and building new man-land relationship; 2. Internet of Things profoundly affect Spatial Structure, Product Space, Behavioral Geography, and Urban Geography; 3. Geographical study on derivative phenomenon of Internet of Things such as spatial organization, distribution, and industrial distribution, has guidance value for development strategy of Internet of Thing; 4. Information Geography faces new opportunities; 5. Internet of Things profoundly changes the scale and means of geographical study, providing a more micro and real-time research platform.
