What is the Internet of Things?
IoT (Internet of Things) means connecting everyday objects like appliances, cars, and industrial equipment to the internet. These smart devices can collect data, communicate with each other, and be controlled remotely.
From smart thermostats that learn your schedule to factory machines that predict maintenance needs, IoT makes our world more efficient and responsive. By 2025, there will be over 30 billion connected devices worldwide.
Simple IoT Example:
A smart farming system might use:
- Soil sensors to measure moisture levels
- Weather data from online forecasts
- Smart irrigation that waters crops automatically
- Farmer's smartphone to monitor and control everything remotely
This saves water, improves yields, and reduces manual work.
