    In today’s digital world, staying updated on trends like AI, Machine Learning and IoT is vital.
                      Technologies such as Quantum Computing, 5G and Blockchain are driving change across
                      industries. In this chapter, you will explore these emerging technologies.

                                INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

                      The Internet of Things or IoT, is a system that connects everyday objects to the Internet. These
                      objects can send and receive data, making them smart. IoT can be described as a network of
                      physical devices that communicate with each other automatically, without human involvement.
                      This can include anything from your smartwatch to smart fridges and even entire smart cities.

                           FACT        The first IoT device was a Coca Cola machine at Carnegie Mellon in the 1980s.

                      HOW DOES IOT WORK?

                      IoT works by connecting devices to the Internet, allowing them to collect and share data. Sensors on
                      these devices detect changes in the environment and the data is sent to the cloud for processing.
                      Based on this data, actions are taken, like adjusting settings or triggering events, making everyday
                      tasks more automated and efficient.

                      EVERYDAY EXAMPLES OF IOT

                      Some of the IoT devices you use or see in your daily life include:
                         Smart homes: IoT controls devices like lights, fridges and security systems with smart speakers,

                         managing them through voice commands. Cameras and motion detectors enhance safety.
                         Smart  wearables: Fitness  trackers  and smartwatches  monitor  health metrics  and sync
                         with phones to track activity, detecting health issues.

                         Smart cities: IoT optimises services like traffic management and parking, improving efficiency
                         and reducing pollution.
