IoT (Internet of Things) is a network of interconnected devices that communicate and exchange data through the internet. It enables objects to collect and share information, leading to automation, efficiency, and improved decision-making. IoT has applications in various sectors, including smart homes, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing. While it offers benefits like convenience and cost savings, challenges such as privacy, security, and scalability need to be addressed for its successful implementation.
