is transforming the way we live, work, and interact with technology. It refers to a network of physical devices—such as home appliances, vehicles, and sensors—that are connected to the internet and can collect, share, and act on data automatically.
What is IoT?
IoT is a system where everyday objects are embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity, allowing them to communicate with each other without human intervention. For example, a smart light that turns on automatically when you enter a room is a simple IoT application.
Real-Life Examples of IoT
- Smart Home: Control lights, fans, AC, and security systems using your smartphone
- Smart Security: CCTV cameras and motion sensors for real-time monitoring
- Smart Agriculture: Soil sensors to monitor moisture and automate irrigation
- Smart Health: Wearable devices that track heart rate and fitness
