10.3 Internet of Things (IoT)
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items that
are embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity. These devices are able to collect and exchange data
over the IoT network, enabling them to communicate and interact with each other without human intervention. While
an IoT network may make use of the Internet, a large number of IoT applications do not make use of the Internet at
all. Instead, they rely on the local IoT network. For example, a number of robots in a room may share data about their
locations among themselves without accessing the Internet.
IoT has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of industries, from healthcare and manufacturing to transportation
and energy. For example, in healthcare, IoT devices can be used to monitor patients’ vital signs and automatically alert
healthcare professionals in case of an emergency. In manufacturing, IoT can be used to optimize production processes,
reduce downtime, and improve product quality.
INTERNET
OF THINGS
IoT devices can be controlled and monitored remotely using smartphones, tablets, and other Internet-enabled devices.
This enables users to access real-time data and control devices from anywhere, at any time.
However, the widespread adoption of IoT also raises concerns about privacy and security. IoT devices can collect and
transmit sensitive data, such as personal information and location data, which can be vulnerable to cyber-attacks
and data breaches. It is therefore important to ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to protect the
privacy and security of IoT devices and the data they collect.
Overall, IoT has the potential to transform the way we live and work, offering new opportunities for innovation and
efficiency. However, it is important to approach IoT in a responsible and ethical manner and to ensure that appropriate
safeguards are in place to protect individuals’ privacy and security.
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items that are
embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity. These devices are able to collect and exchange data over
the IoT network, enabling them to communicate and interact with each other without human intervention.
Match the following:
1. Volume a. Big data refers to datasets that are too large to be stored,
processed, and analyzed using traditional methods.
2. Velocity b. Big data is generated at an unprecedented speed, often in
real-time or near real-time.
3. Variety c. Big data comes in many different forms, including structured,
semi-structured, and unstructured data.
10.3.1 Sensors
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other objects
embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity that allow them to collect and exchange data.
