"The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to the collective network of connected devices and the technology that facilitates communication between them and the cloud, as well as between the devices themselves. Thanks to the advent of inexpensive computer chips and high bandwidth telecommunication, we now have billions of devices connected to the internet. This means everyday devices like toothbrushes, vacuums, cars, and machines can use sensors to collect data and respond intelligently to users." - source
Imagine that you are taking care of a small garden in your backyard. Since you have classes to attend, you are unable to regularly water the plants. The Internet of Things might provide a solution to this problem. You can use sensors to monitor the moisture in the soil and implement a smart irrigation system. As soon as the sensor sends a message that the moisture has dropped below a certain threshold, the irrigation system will be activated and water will be supplied to all the plants.
