The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting any device with an on/off switch to the Internet. This includes devices like cell phones, appliances, wearables, and more. Connected devices allow things like monitoring medication reminders, efficient home heating, traffic management, and remote baby monitoring. The growth of IoT will impact industries like manufacturing, transportation, healthcare and more by increasing efficiency and reducing costs. India's IoT sector is being driven by the government, industries and startups working in areas like smart cities and healthcare. While IoT provides benefits like automation and savings, it also raises issues regarding privacy, security, compatibility and technology dependence.

2. What is Internet of Things?
 The IoT is a giant network of connecting any device with an
on and off switch to the Internet.
 includes everything from cellphones, coffee makers, washing
machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices.
 connected "things" (which also includes people).
 The relationship will be between people-people, people-
things, and things-things.

3. Examples for IoT
▪ Remember to take your meds
▪ Maintain quality & consistency
▪ Heat your home efficiently
▪ Keep streets clean
▪ Maintain & Repair
▪ Track water
▪ Check on the baby

4. How does this Impact us?
▪ The new rule for the future is going to be, "Anything
that can be connected, will be connected.“
▪ IoT can be applied to things like transportation
networks: "smart cities“ which can help us reduce
waste and improve efficiency.
▪ helps us to understand and improve how we work
and live.
▪ opens up companies all over the world to more
security threats.
