The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that connects physical objects to the Internet, enabling them to send and receive data. It involves the linking of devices—gadgets, appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity that allows these objects to connect and exchange data. These devices are often embedded with technology such as sensors, software, and other components that allow them to be connected to and interact with other devices on a local or broader network. This type of technology allows for greater automation of everyday tasks, bringing convenience and efficiency to everyday life. Through the Internet of Things, devices are able to communicate with one another and perform tasks with minimal human intervention. IoT provides the capability for devices in the home, such as thermostats, lighting, security systems, and other connected appliances, to be remotely monitored and controlled. It can also be used to track animals and other living creatures, as well as many other applications.
