What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?

Situation: You want to know what IoT is.

Applicable to: All IoT Devices.

Are you one of those who owns the coolest stuff like smart speakers with a voice assistant, smart lighting or even a smart TV? Yes, these are what we call IoT!

The IoT or Internet of Things is a network of physical devices that can be connected to the Internet to exchange data. Any physical object can be transformed into an IoT device if it can be connected to the Internet.

To be precise, a voice-activated light is an IoT device, just like the smart video doorbell system that notifies the homeowner, via smartphone, when a visitor is at the door. A smartwatch or a fitness band are IoT devices too.
