The Internet of Things, commonly abbreviated as IoT, refers to the vast network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. At a high level, IoT is about connecting everyday objects to the internet and to each other, with the goal of making them "smarter" and more autonomous. This interconnectivity allows for a constant flow of information, leading to enhanced efficiency, automation, and a wealth of new possibilities across countless aspects of our lives.
