The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of interconnected devices, objects, or machines that can communicate and share data with each other over the internet without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. These devices are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies that enable them to collect and exchange data, leading to increased efficiency, automation, and connectivity in various industries and everyday life. The IoT has the potential to revolutionize sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and smart homes by enabling remote monitoring, control, and optimization of processes and systems.
