The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting physical objects to the internet through sensors that allow them to transfer data. IoT works by giving objects unique identifiers, communication abilities through wireless technologies, and sensors like RFID tags. IoT has applications in areas like healthcare, smart home devices, traffic monitoring, and tracking market trends. While IoT provides benefits like monitoring energy usage and the environment, it also faces criticism around privacy and security concerns.

2. Denfinition.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a scenario in which objects, animals or people
are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a
network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer
interaction. IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies,
micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the Internet.
Things: Machines, building, vehicles, plants, Appliances, buildings, people.

3. How Does it Work ?
• The object is given a unique identity.
• The object is given ability to communicate. (wireless communication).
• The object is given sensors. (RFID)
