The Internet of Things gives us control to connect, manage, and collect data over the communication networks and Internet on other devices.
IoT devices use the internet to connect devices that can work together in many ways, from simply exchanging data over the Internet to controlling other objects.
WHAT IS IOT?
Lately, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been defined as an ecosystem that links physical devices with virtual devices. This means the smart machines are the main network enablers of this IoT system. These digitized smart machines can submit information to us or other IoT devices in their wireless networks. On top of that, these digitized machines are allowed to make decisions by using machine learning based on the information they receive for industrial systems. In a way, IoT networks are transforming physical devices into the digital world.
The Internet of Things allows us to connect anything to the IoT ecosystem and make it available on the web with the help of sensors that collect data, processors, and high-coverage connections. The Internet of Things also allows manufacturers to create products that are intelligent in either their physical or virtual states.
We can cite examples for each of these scenarios. A car can be a connected device to the Internet, allowing us to know about its location, fuel level, and available space for driving. This will make it easy for us to locate the nearest petrol station or lookup which dish is being served at a nearby restaurant.
On another note, even things like doors are getting smart devices put on them. This makes it easy for us to lock or unlock the door without using our hands, which is strange enough for many of us.
