Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity capabilities that enable them to collect and exchange data over the internet. These devices can range from simple sensors and smart home appliances to industrial equipment and wearable technology. IoT systems allow for remote monitoring, control, and automation of physical processes, enabling applications like smart homes, industrial automation, and environmental monitoring. The key characteristic of IoT devices is their ability to communicate data without requiring direct human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
