IOT

Introduction

In a layman sense, the Internet of Things is the concept of connecting any electronic device to the Internet and to other connected devices. The IoT is a giant network of connected devices and people – all of which collect and share data in the way they are used and about the environment around them.

That includes n number of objects of all shapes and sizes – from smart microwaves, which automatically cook your food for the right length of time, to wearable fitness devices that measure your heart rate and the number of steps you’ve taken that day, then use that information to suggest exercise plans tailored to you, to self-driving cars, whose complex sensors detect objects in their path. There are even connected footballs that can trace how far or fast they are thrown and record all those statistics via an app for future training purposes.
