The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet. This technology enables everyday items, from home appliances to wearable devices, to communicate and interact, creating smarter environments. IoT has the potential to revolutionize various sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, and transportation, by improving efficiency and providing real-time data. For instance, smart thermostats can learn user preferences and optimize energy usage, while connected vehicles can enhance safety and navigation through data sharing.
