IOT

There’s a lot of noise now about the Internet of Things (or IoT) and its impact on everything from the way we travel and do our shopping to the way manufacturers keep track of inventory. But what is the Internet of Things? What is IoT?

In the broadest sense, the term IoT encompasses everything connected to the internet, but it is increasingly being used to define objects that “talk” to each other. The IOT refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, all collecting and sharing data, it is a term used to identify products that can be connected to the internet through wireless technology such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular signals. Connecting all these different objects and adding sensors to them adds a level of digital intelligence to devices that would be otherwise dumb, enabling them to communicate real-time data without involving a human being. The Internet of Things is making the fabric of the world around us smarter and more responsive, merging the digital and physical universes.
