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.

            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.
