What is IoT?
Definition
(1) The Internet of Things, also called The Internet of Objects, refers to a
wireless network between objects, usually the network will be wireless and self-
configuring, such as household appliances.
------Wikipedia
(2) By embedding short-range mobile transceivers into a wide array of additional
gadgets and everyday items, enabling new forms of communication between people and
things, and between things themselves.
------WSIS 2005

Applications of IoT
There are numerous real-world applications of the internet of things, ranging from
consumer IoT and enterprise IoT to manufacturing and industrial IoT (IIoT).
In the consumer segment, for example, smart homes that are equipped with smart
thermostats, smart appliances and connected heating, lighting and electronic devices can
be controlled remotely via computers, smartphones or other mobile devices.
Wearable devices with sensors and software can collect and analyze user data, sending
messages to other technologies about the users with the aim of making users' lives easier
and more comfortable. Wearable devices are also used for public safety.
In healthcare, IoT offers many benefits, including the ability to monitor patients more
closely to use the data that's generated and analyze it. Hospitals often use IoT systems to
complete tasks such as inventory management, for both pharmaceuticals and medical
instruments.
Smart buildings can, for instance, reduce energy costs using sensors that detect how
many occupants are in a room. The temperature can adjust automatically.
In agriculture, IoT-based smart farming systems can help monitor, for instance, light,
temperature, humidity and soil moisture of crop fields using connected sensors. IoT is also
instrumental in automating irrigation systems.
In a smart city, IoT sensors and deployments, such as smart streetlights and smart
meters, can help alleviate traffic, conserve energy, monitor and address environmental
concerns, and improve sanitation.
