Internet of Things (IoT) is a collective term for the evolution in which machines, vehicles, buildings, household appliances, clothing, furniture, watches and other accessories, as well as everyday objects and even our own bodies, can be equipped with small, built-in sensors.
This enables the devices to perceive their surroundings, communicate with it, collect data and create behavioral patterns that are situational.
