Internet of Things (IoT) is the networking of physical objects that contain electronics embedded within their architecture in order to communicate and sense interactions amongst each other or with respect to the external environment. In the upcoming years, IoT-based technology will offer advanced levels of services and practically change the way people lead their daily lives. Advancements in medicine, power, gene therapies, agriculture, smart cities, and smart homes are just a very few of the categorical examples where IoT is strongly established.
Over 9 billion ‘Things’ (physical objects) are currently connected to the Internet, as of now. In the near future, this number is expected to rise to a whopping 20 billion.
The Internet today has impacted human life in unimaginable ways, reaching almost every corner of the planet. Now that many appliances are connected to the internet, we are entering an era of even more widespread connectivity. The Internet of Things (IOT) is a network of physical devices and things connected to other devices and systems via the internet by means of sensors, software, and other technologies. The devices range from everyday household items to complex industrial machines. These linked devices collect data, which is then processed and structured to understand the system, the user, and the environment, and progress toward the goal.
