The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected physical devices that communicate and exchange data with each other via the internet. These devices, ranging from household items like smart thermostats and refrigerators to industrial sensors and wearables, are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies. IoT enables devices to collect and share data, often in real-time, allowing for automation and smarter decision-making. It has applications across various industries, including healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing. By integrating IoT, organizations can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance user experiences. However, IoT also raises concerns regarding data privacy, security, and interoperability, which need to be addressed as adoption continues to grow rapidly across the globe.
