The document defines Internet of Things (IoT) as the network of physical devices, vehicles, appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, and sensors that connect and exchange data over an IP address. It was coined in 1999 by Kevin Ashton. The document lists many applications of IoT such as smart homes, consumer applications, enterprise use, infrastructure management, manufacturing, energy management, agriculture, environmental monitoring, transportation and more. It explains that IoT allows devices to represent themselves digitally and be controlled remotely, transforming industries through analytics and security. Ten real-world applications of IoT are also highlighted such as smart homes, wearables, connected cars, industrial uses, smart cities and healthcare.

2. What are Internet of things?
 The term "the Internet of things" was coined by Kevin Ashton
of Procter & Gamble, later MIT's Auto-ID Center, in 1999.
 The Internet of Things refers to the ever-growing network of
physical objects that feature an IP address for internet
connectivity, and the communication that occurs between
these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.

3. The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices,
vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with
electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity
which enable these objects to connect and exchange data.

4. Applications
 Intelligent shopping systems
 Consumer application
 Smart Home
 Enterprise
 Media
 Infrastructure Management
 Manufacturing
 Energy management
 Agriculture

5. Applications
 Environmental monitoring
 Building and home automation
 Metropolitan scale deployments
 Medical and healthcare
 Transportation
 Intelligence
 Architecture
 Network architecture
 Complexity

6. Why do we have Internet of things ?
 Internet of Things can connect devices embedded
in various systems to the internet. When
devices/objects can represent themselves digitally,
they can be controlled from anywhere. IoT is a
transformational force that can help companies
improve performance through IoT analytics and IoT
Security to deliver better results.
