The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices that connect and share data with other devices and systems using the internet. IoT devices have sensors, software, and processing capabilities. 

How does IoT work? 

• Sensors in IoT devices gather data
• The data is transmitted through an IoT gateway
• An application or back-end system analyzes the data

Examples of IoT devices 

• Smart TVs
• Smart washing machines
• Smart lights
• Smart toothbrushes
• Pet finders
• Smart baby monitors
• Wearables

Applications of IoT

• Agriculture

  IoT devices can monitor soil conditions, weather patterns, and crop growth. This is also known as smart agriculture. 

• Security and surveillance

  IoT-based systems can use smart cameras, motion sensors, and facial recognition technology to detect and respond to security threats. 

• Wearables

  Wearables can collect data about a person wearing them, such as fitness, health, and entertainment data.
