What is Internet of Things (IOT)

A variety of technologies and devices can be linked together through the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a major breakthrough in the development of networking. This technology is used to connect all gadgets and electronic devices through the Internet. All the smart devices connected with the help of this technology send data to each other and can receive data from each other. These work again on the basis of the data sent to each other. At the same time, this technology is very successful in today's time and is becoming very important for the people.

At the same time, the example given below will help you understand this technique more easily. If a person wants to have the AC of his room turned on before reaching his home and he gets his room very cold as soon as he reaches home, this can be done through the Internet of Things. On the other hand, if your AC is left on leaving the house, with the help of IoT, you can also close it.


Yes, any person can connect multiple devices in their home with the help of internet at once and turn them on or off from anywhere. Similarly, if there is any defect in your car, then its information will go to the company making that vehicle with the help of this technology.
