What is IoT (Internet of Things) |
|
Answer» The term IoT (Internet of THINGS) was coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999. It is referred to as a network comprised of interconnected PHYSICAL objects (referred to as "things") worldwide that are capable of collecting and EXCHANGING data without human interaction. These devices contain embedded systems (SOFTWARE, electronics, networks, and sensors) that are able to collect data about the surrounding environment, transmit data over a network, respond to remote commands, or take actions based on data collected. There are many IoT devices or things available today, including wearables, implants, vehicles, machinery, smartphones, appliances, computing systems, or any other item that can SEND and receive data. Cloud-based storage and computing, Cyber-Physical Systems, and big data networks can all be integrated with IoT. The IoT primarily focuses on expanding internet connectivity from standard devices (such as computers, mobile phones, or tablets) to relatively dumb ones like toasters. It turns old "dumb" devices into "smart" ones by making them able to transmit data over the internet, facilitating communication with people and other IoT-enabled devices. |
