What is the internet of things?

IoT (Internet of Things) is a network of physical objects, such as devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity that enable them to collect and exchange data. Through this connection, these objects can interact with internal and external environments, sending and receiving data in real time.

This interconnection allows them to be monitored, controlled, and automated from a distance, creating opportunities for more direct integration of the physical world into computer based systems, resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy, and economic benefit.
