👉 The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity that enable them to collect and exchange data. These devices can communicate with each other and with users via the internet, allowing for remote monitoring, control, and automation. IoT systems integrate various technologies such as wireless communication protocols (like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee), cloud computing, and big data analytics to process and analyze the vast amounts of data generated by connected devices. This integration facilitates smarter decision-making, improved efficiency, and enhanced user experiences across sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, smart cities, and consumer electronics. IoT applications range from simple smart home devices like thermostats and lights to complex industrial systems that optimize production processes and predict maintenance needs.
