What do we know about IoT? As stated in International Telecommunication Union, 2012 “Global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies.”

As per Stock and Seliger, 2016, “This networking of products through the IoT makes it possible to connect the entire manufacturing process converting factories with differentiated values streams, into smart environments.

IoT means connecting physical objects with sensors to any devices or systems with the processing ability or any software or technologies over the internet or via other communicating devices.

A quote by Brendan O’Brien “If you think that the internet has changed your life, think again. The internet of things is about to change it all over again”

Even though IoT is related to a technicality, scientific notions, and creative imagination to use the IoT purposefully also turns into a beautiful gifted technical tool to use.

As per Geoff Mulgan, “As the internet of things advances, the very notion of a clear dividing line between reality and virtual reality becomes blurred, sometimes in a creative way.”

As you can see, IoT is one of the powerful applications in the future that need to be exploited in many ways. The controlling of your household to your office door from your smartphone at a faster rate improves the quality of your lifestyle.
