The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects or people known as “things” that are integrated with software, electronics, a network, and sensors that allow them to collect and exchange data. The purpose of IoT is to extend internet connectivity from common devices such as computers, mobile phones, and tablets to relatively simple items such as toasters.
IoT makes almost everything “smart,” by enhancing parts of our lives through the use of data collecting, AI algorithms, and networks. In IoT, the thing can also be a person with a diabetes monitor implant, an animal with tracking devices, and so on. This IoT tutorial for beginners covers the fundamentals of IoT.
