About this Course
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a widespread network that connects everyday objects to the Internet, enabling them to interact with each other and exchange data. Simply put, the IoT is a concept that allows any device that can be switched-on and off to be connected to the Internet. This could be household appliances like Refrigerators, coffee makers and washing machines, paving the way for a “smart”, connected home. It could also be applied on a grander scale, like with the recent Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) revolution that automates mechanical processes in factories through IoT. It allows for two-way interactions between connected devices, and will eventually minimize the need for human intervention and manual input.
Impact
IoT will aid various processes and activities, improving people’s lives by making the world faster, smarter and better. In essence, IoT impacts our lives in two ways. It reduces the need for human interference and manual input in all activities by enabling devices to communicate with each other through the Internet and carry out functions autonomously.
It also, impacts communication today by enabling device-to-device communication, as mentioned above and device-to-people communication.
